If Vikes don't win this game easily then Infinity deserve to be mocked for all eternity.

Backup DE - out
2 starting DTs - out.
Had to bring in FA DT just to avoid breaking league rules.
Had to activate questionable #4 DT for numbers.

Got sod all up front which is going to make stopping run, generating pressure difficult.

gg... no NOT gg Vikes.

Banged up D line and you only win due to a freaking QB RUN and a KR TD - after I spent yesterday changing my ST lineups after finding a forum post by setherick...

You ****.

Also going to have to re-evaluate my views on speed for a QB after this play.

2 stuffs of RBs then this! Good blocking to the outside helped.

I can't find the other post that talks about speed getting QBs out of the "hurry" zone.

Thanks for those. The QB escaped the rush, some decent blocks left a massive lane and he was off to the races. Something to learn from.

How do you find your old threads anyway, the search is utter garbage... quicker to just go through every thread manually.

Lots of posts are no longer available, those only posted in league forums go if that league goes. That's why I've suggested JDB set up a wiki or something, so people can preserve useful info.

As a further aside, is that play an example of why designated QB runs aren't in the game?

Seems to me, QBs are what, 220 pounds? DEs would be 276...

Vikes QB has acc 72, speed 86, scrambling 50. Based on that, when weight factored in, he should certainly outrun every DE, probably most LBs in a straight line. Given the clear lane he had due to the blocking on that play, seems like it would be something incredibly difficult if not impossible to defend in the current game engine? D would have to rely on fighting through those blocks.
