Moderator MubbleFubbles 1,292 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 Kickoff is fielded in EZ for touchback 1-10 (20): Dear does a couple jukes in the backfield but Idaho gets him after a 1 yard gain. 2-9: Dear does a great spin on the screen pass to elude Moreau And runs it downfield for a 14 yard gain (Atreides)! 1-10 (35): I formation, Dear takes the draw, jukes the tackle of the blitzing Seabasstard before Moreau gets revenge for the earlier spin by clocking him. Gain of seven 2-3: Dear has another nice rush through the middle, a gain of seven on the play (Atreides) 1-10 (VAN 49): It's the Dear and Moreau showdown here as Dear breaks Moreau's tackle this time on the draw and gets four (DL) 2-6: In Moscow territory now, another handoff to Dear but there's no hole and the DL is there quickly, one yard gain 3-5: Nickel and Dime Cornerback blitz but Aberg gets the ball out quick enough to J,Reinhart, who gets around Markinson for a five yard gain (Markinson) 1-10 (39): Dear up the middle, runs through a DL tackle and gains three (Johansson) 2-7: A handoff to Dear in the shotgun, but there's no hole up the middle and it's no gain (DL) 3-7: Split Backs, delayed handoff to Dear who follows Zolnek's lead block and gains 13 before Atreides catches him! 1-10 (23): I-Formation, Aberg drops back and it'll be J.Reinhart vs. Markinson Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/116520-does-the-meta-work-in-other-video-games-madden-08-edition/page/2/#findComment-910875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator MubbleFubbles 1,292 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 It did it again so this is just my memory of what happened this drive! Kickoff is fielded in EZ for touchback 1-10 (20): Idaho finds Strong Jr. on the curl route and it's good for a gain of eleven! (Kitson) 1-10 (31): Atreides runs up the gut but he can only get two yards on the ground. Atreides has been good on D, but only has two yards per carry on the ground today 2-8 (33): Idaho attempts to find Glass on the post route deep, but R has the height advantage and bats it away 3-8 (33): Game says Moscow still haven't converted on 3rd, they must not have counted the overturned challenge earlier. Right Tackle fails to pick up the Left Defensive End and he nearly gets the sack! Throw down the middle looks like it's going to get caught by Seabasstard but he drops it after Dear comes in on the tackle. 4-8: Dear fields the punt at the 26 and gets a decent 10 yard return before Pearce gets to him.

Moderator MubbleFubbles 1,292 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 Excellent field position now for Moscow 1-10 (27): Atreides gets the draw up the middle, and it's a nice run! Gain of 9, inches short of the first (R) 2-IN: Atreides looks like he'll be stopped at the line, but breaks R's arm tackle and gets 3 yards for the first (DL) 1-10 (14): Atriedes on the counter, manages to get five before being brought down by Nalwa END OF THIRD Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/116520-does-the-meta-work-in-other-video-games-madden-08-edition/page/2/#findComment-910886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator MubbleFubbles 1,292 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 Kick is into the endzone, touchback 1-10: Huge gap up the middle for Dear and he dances ahead for a nine yard gain, 93 yards on the ground today! (Atriedes) 2-1: Electing to throw on second down, finds a leaping Tucker over the middle for a gain of 13! (Idaho) 1-10 (43): Dear up the middle looks like they have a nice gap but Idaho reads the play well and stops him for only one 2-9: Moscow send Atreides on blitz up middle but run is a toss outside, Dear breaks the tackle of Idaho in the backfield but that's enough to slow Dear down enough for Moreau to catch him for a loss of one 3-10: Two rough runs in a row for the Wolves, fake handoff to Zolnek, then hands-off left to Dear, but Nalwa lost the block on the DL and he goes down for a 2 yard loss. 4-12: The punt is ALMOST perfect, but it sneaks into the EZ for a touchback.

Moderator MubbleFubbles 1,292 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) 1-10 (20): 5:30 left in the game. Full house formation, Idaho drops back and tries to find Seabasstard in double coverage just past the first down mark, but R makes the deflection 2-10: It looked like there was a good hole for Atreides to run through, but an ill-timed juke instead of a straight sprint limits his gain to four (J.Reinhart) 3-6: The draw to Atreides nearly fools the defense and he stretches out to get six, but is inches short of the first. 4-IN: The punting unit comes out, Dear fields the punt at the 15 and brings it to the 22.

Moderator MubbleFubbles 1,292 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2022 1-10 (22): Dear stiff-arms Moreau at the line of scrimmage, but Markinson is right there and drops him for a loss on one on the outside handoff. 2-11: Seabasstard blitzes from FS, Dear runs inside right tackle and picks up five (Idaho) 3-6: Full house formation, Wolves run down the play clock before tossing to Dear, he's got decent blocking and he stiff-arms Seabasstard, but Johansson brings him down after 3. Wolves run down the clock to the 2 minute warning. 4-3: The punt is fielded by Atreides at the 25 and there's good blocking ahead!
