Countering the Metas - A Master List for the Community
Hope everyone is having a nice start to their weeks! So I think we all know how these threads usually go:
Step 1: I can't stop X, my opponent is a loser, and this game is trash!
Step 2: Git gud.
Step 3: Insults traded.
Step 4: Thread locked.
But today is a new day. I present to you, the master list of metas and how to best counter them. If I'm missing a meta or counter, let me know and I'll update the thread. I want this to list to be by the community, for the community. I will update this thread constantly based off of your feedback.
Here goes...
Meta: Nickel 3-3-5 Odd Crossfire
Counter: ID mike as the DT, or DE on the side the loop is coming in. Run, run, run. Inside zone, 01 trap. Flood the flats with flat routes, hooks, streaks. Quickly read underneath or over-the-top coverage.
Meta: Nickel Over G
Counter: Slide protect to the blitzing side, block the HB, consider 1 or 2 TE sets for extra blocking, throw quick slants, run HB wheel.
