I have a question for you veteran coaches. I looked through the "Comp***" post for us new guys but I have quite a few things I'm not sure of but I hope in time I'll discover how they all come together.

My question is should I try and add a FB type RB to my roster? I know it's stated to place the RB you want to play FB last on the DC for the given formation(#2). But, would I just be better off with my two best RB's or does the sim account for having a blocking back leading the way?

I've never done that power, but I know some successful coaches who do.

I prefer to split the load so they don't tire as quickly but if you have a back that is a lot better than your other backs it can be a good idea.

If my best rbs have low stamina, then I'll put them 1-2 in the same formation and split the carries to lower their pace. If my best rbs have good stamina (60+), I'll use my worst rb as the fb. I never intentionally recruit a fb unless I can't find guys worthy of handing the ball to. Then I'll look for a high blocking and hands guy to use as a fb.

I am a newer coach to GD. Through one seson with Wisconsin Stout I went a solid 0-13. Granted I started with some pretty god awful players and had to recruit (think I landed some decent guys) anyways in the spirit of this forum Iwill try to get right to my question. Anyone have tips on how to gameplan better? I dont know if thats my problem or if I just need to wait for my sop****re and freshman cl*** to develop
