"the defense is keyed in"
September 03, 2011 at 01:44AM View BBCode
I know what this means in football, and I've seen it in games a number of times, but I haven't seen any noticeable change in the play's outcome. What's supposed to happen?

Personally, I notice a higher percentage of incompletions and interceptions on these plays. Still some success, but not as much.

I believe it means the D has the optimum play called to defend the play the offense has called. So there is a greater possibility of success in defending the play.

This is correct. If the offense is overusing a particular play, the defense will switch to the optimum defense no matter what is actually in their game plan. This happen in the main site too but silently; it is pointed out with the "keyed in" wording in Beta for troubleshooting purposes.

(And yes, interception rates are higher and completion rates are lower when keyed in.)

Seems logical to me that if a team wants to play 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust, the defense would stop playing nickel now and then.

I might be wrong on this, but I cannot recall ever seeing the defense "keyed in" on a running play. It's a pass every time.Seems logical to me that if a team wants to play 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust, the defense would stop playing nickel now and then.

The current mechanism is meant as an anti-abuse feature, not an actual defense feature, so it comes down like a hammer. I need to make it kick in at different levels to really make it a feature, and my intent has always been to do that, I just haven't gotten there yet.

Right now it's only on passing plays. It needs to be extended to running but I need to revise the mechanism first.The current mechanism is meant as an anti-abuse feature, not an actual defense feature, so it comes down like a hammer.

You know, I might try that against a running team some time.
I'm sure you'll be fielding an 11-LB defense at some point soon.
