Defensive Lineups while down players
http://www.play-creator.com/viewplay.asp?viewplay=3461 This is matt's inverted D which I have been using with good success.. However, when you get down a few players this leaves you with some big holes. Curious to as how people lineup men down. Thanks for any help

The first two guys I take out are the safeties. After that, I tend to build a strong side and force play to one direction, typically giving up one Wide Zone. The trick is to avoid envelopment, often by putting 3 guys along the open space.
Nitpicking: That's actually not the "inverted" D: I call the setup you've got "standard" as it's fairly popular with most team races against most opponents. If y'all want to attribute that to me, go right ahead, but it's not fair 'cause it was popular when I started playing in '97. The "inverted" D (which I will take credit for until someone tells me otherwise; I started advocating it in '06) is sort of that one backwards, and requires two Side Step players to man the Wide Zone. It's intended to shield two more safeties, for teams like Necromantic, Undead, and the various elf teams that have easy access to ST3 Side Step and either a need to play deep safeties due to MA deficiency or multiple players who need protection. A half-and-half variant is really potent on bash teams, and usually requires only one double.

What is Nuffle's lawn? Inches, squares, and tackle zones: Reddened blades of grass.
What is Nuffle's tree? Risk its trunk, space the branches. Touchdowns are its fruit.
