I wish that word didn't exist.
Except for drags and slants.
No, I propose that this "moderation" is what is the major issue for games I play in. See this thread and all the guys saying, "Well, I wouldn't use that feature or this one or do that or this!" Yet, to a man, they have that one play that they know - they know! - will work without fail. And that is fine; can't begrudge someone for that. Shit, I have one, too. However, I use it constantly and I am going to continue to fucking use it until someone stops it. I am not going to insult my opponent by holding back on this or holding back on that and then springing my surprise play on them when I need it the most, when I've lulled them to sleep with this supposed "straight and moderate" play.
Now, you might be asking yourself, "Trendon, what the hell is wrong with a guy saving his best plays for when he needs them the most?" Really, nothing. However, if I know that you are holding on to the two-step drop TE streak or quick hit slant that will always work for three yards for when you really need it, then I am turning on every feature and using every trick in the book and I expect you to NOT wax poetic about how you wouldn't dare turn on BIG RUN because it is cheese. LOL! You just ran the same slant nine times, Bueller, out of four different sets on third-and-four; don't think I didn't notice! At the very least I feel proud of the fact that I didn't try and sneak one past you. You fucking know what I am up to by the end of the first quarter.
How I wish we had a scouting report section like some of the old leagues. That shit was mad useful.
Edit: You have to see the game I am playing right now. I swear to god that my opponent is only running plays on 1st and 2nd down just to set up 3rd-and-8 so he can throw a slant to the slot receiver or TE. It's laughable. Meanwhile, I've run two trick plays, two bombs, and a handful of PA.
