Passing to the backs
March 30, 2011 at 10:49AM View BBCode
I've run a few teams now, and have had some halfbacks who had good receiving skills (Catching, Speed, Agility, Hands, Execution) but were not targeted very much at all. I'd say at most, 1 pass a game on average. I wonder if that's a universal right now, or if the backs are better receivers than the wide receivers the QB will target them more? It seems that if I put a back in a wide receiver slot all that happens is the QB goes to the other wide receiver and tight end more.
Eventually, on this same note, I'd like to see the game engine utilize pass-catching backs in shotgun formations -- making the appropriate substitution via a depth chart as for slot receiver and nickel back.

screens usually go to a RB, you might want to try some of them (not to many, though).

True, I don't throw too many screens, but I'd still like to see more "short" passes go to the backs, and a few "medium" passes -- if they are good receivers, especially in shotgun formation.
