These are FF.Net Rookie Shells and Miggle Prongs. Jim Davis flattened out the prongs on a number of them.

The trick is understanding how to balance them on the right player to make the perfect athlete. When I played the Redskins, Darryl Johnston had 130 yards on 6 carries and 2 TDs. Marion Barber gained 59 yards on 6 carries.

Against the Eagles, I remember towards the beginning of the game, Johnston broke lose on a run up the middle for about 60 yards.

This is in a style of play that a touch is anywhere. I was first introduced to this a number of years ago, about 10, by Andre Pierce from Hampton, VA. Andre came to my home and showed me how he would move linemen forward on bases. It was never the horizontal method that I use to create more line area, though.

But Electric Coach, I would be skeptical if I did not know physics very well. The FF.Net shells are symmetrical which gives a sense of balance to the player. The linemen that I created are from Hawk pose which are pretty symmetrical too. All that is left is the prongs. I let Jim Davis do the "grunt work" cause he's stronger than I am in the arms and that's what he specialize in.

The player squats in a pass blocking mode, gets under the chin of the defensive player, and lifts him up. Nothing is 100% all the time but it was pretty amazingly high. I will do a little video to show you what I am talking about.

Believe me, I am not strictly in to power. I love pulling guards, lateral linemen, wide splits, etc., but this was one of those "moments" that you get sometimes when a light bulb comes to put into your strategy. This was it.
