Rules Reminder ...

"We have an understanding that there is an advantage to using a 3-4 defense with a 4-3 coordinator we are asking GMs to refrain from doing so from this point forward. I am not going to scour and monitor the logs after each game, but if a GM brings it to our attention and it is confirmed that the exploit was used that there will be some type of penalty at the discretion of the Commissioner. This could range from a warning, loss of a draft pick, or even expulsion depending on the severity of the infraction.

Part of a thriving league is playing for gamesmanship and in a sporting manner and we believe using this bug/exploit violates the integrity of the league. We are expecting our GMs to hold themselves to a higher level. Therefore, we will entrust you all to do the right thing. If you discover that a 3-4 defense is being used with a 4-3 coordinator please bring it to my attention."

To add to the above, any team that had a DC change involving a different front (34 to 43 or 43 to 34) should check or at least rex a new defensive GP. FOF doesn't audit the d-plan and unfortunately the plan is carried over from the prior season. That is the normal cause of the illegal defenses. This is really a bug or an oversight of FOF.

That's me apparently, and I redid my defensive GP's in PS, or so I thought. I'll fix it next sim.

Out of curiosity, what is the advantage gained by running a 3-4 front while having a 4-3 DC?

multiple blitzers...

alternatively, a 3-4 coordinator using a 4-3 gameplan could have use ot the Tampa-2 coverage which is not available in the 34.

yeah. 3-4 can blitz out of cover 3
