I dont think it matters how many offensive sets you use. But on defensive I like to use 4. 5-2, 4-3, Nickel and Dime. This system has worked for me. Most of my teams are very successful and my Beloit in D III in Stagg just took the NC with those Def sets.
One thing to remember is that there are many dif ways to win in this game. I knew one coach that used the 3-4 almost exclusively. I always was amazed how effective it could be, especially vs. the run which in theory it shouldn't be. It had to be the "Makeup" of the players And his strategies.

What attributes would you say are most important for a p*** rushing DL? Does anybody actually carry players that are just p*** rushers?

Note that my_kids' scenario will not be possible under GD 2.0.

Instead of Normal, Red Zone, and Two-Minute, the boxes are now Normal, Red Zone, and Inactive. Rather than marking Two-Minute plays within your current plan, you can use a completely separate plan at the end of the half and the game. (If you choose to run a separate game plan then, it operates both at the end of the second half and the end of the second quarter.)

Each row may be either Normal only, Red Zone only, both Normal and Red Zone, or Inactive.

You must have at least one of the three plays in each group (Long, Medium, Short) checked for Normal and at least one checked for Red Zone.

Also, this might be useful for everyone to know, from the first 2.0 dev chat. Note: I reworded things to make them, at least to me, easier to understand. Any misinterpretations are mine.

This is the new general logic in place for when to kick a field goal, punt, or go for the first down:

1) If less than 15 seconds in the half and no TOs or less than 10 seconds ....kick the field goal regardless of the score --- all settings. Note that this was stated as two separate conditions, if down by 3 or less and otherwise, but it's the same outcome. I do not know if this is overridden by #3 - I believe some people think it is not, although it should be.

2) If it is overtime and down 3 or less on 4th down kick the FG --- all settings.

3) If it is in the 4th quarter and 2 minutes or less remaining down by 4 or more, go for the first down regardless of aggressiveness setting and field position.

4) In FG range --- check for FG or GO based upon the base offense style for the currently active game plan:

Very Conservative: always kick

Conservative: kick if not in 4th quarter with less than half remaining
OR down 3 or less
OR more than 1 yard to go
OR outside the 5 yard line
otherwise go for it

Balanced: kick if not in 4th quarter
OR down 3 or less
OR more than 1 yard to go
OR outside the opponents' 20
otherwise go for it

Aggressive: kick the FG if up 8 to down 3
OR more than 3 yards to go
OR outside the opponents' 40
otherwise go for it

Very Aggressive: kick the FG if up 8 to down 3 with less than half the 4th quarter remaining
OR if more than 4 yards to go
otherwise go for it

5) NOT in FG range --- check for PUNT or GO based upon the base offense style for the currently active game plan:

Very Conservative: always punt

Conservative: only go for it on 4th and 1 when losing in the second half of the 4th quarter past midfield
otherwise punt

Balanced: go for it on 4th and 1 from midfield to FG range
AND go on 4th and 1 when losing in the second half of the 4th quarter from to midfield
otherwise punt

Aggressive: go for it on 4th and 1 from to FG range
AND go for it on 4th and 2 from to FG range
AND go for it on 4th and 3 or less from midfield to FG range
otherwise punt

Very Aggressive: go for it on 4th and 1 from to FG range
AND go for it on 4th and 2 or less from to FG range
AND go for it on 4th and 3 or less from to FG range
AND go for it on 4th and 4 or less from midfield to FG range
otherwise punt

i would think that with the changes that 2.0 put in that most of the info here will need updating....perhaps even a new thread.
