Those of you using Dickerson are hurting yourselves and you don’t even see it.
I’ve noticed that I am have been crapping on teams with Dickerson in WL. If I see him activated, it’s pretty much game over for my opponent. Here’s why:
1) People that have Dickerson get very dependent on him. They have used him for so long that they can’t play offense well aside from relying on his abilities and x-factor. Once you make Dickerson fumble or get hit for a loss, the opponent turns into an interception machine or will never get more than three yards per run again. Their lack of passing over the past couple months because of the Dickerson spam makes them bad at it. Maybe they used to pass well but forgot how to because it has been so long. You need to pass more if you’re going to be good at it.
2) The biggest issue with Dickerson users is that they always try to force him on you. They like to spam “run money plays.” So basically you know at the play call screen whether they are running or passing. When they pass they go to a gun formation. When they run they go to an I formation (or one of its variants) or some multi TE set. They never pass out of those “run” formations. They go gun when they feel they need to pass. So I always know before the snap whether I need to make pass or run adjustments based on the formation lmao. Pathetic. So when I see a run set, I know 100% what I need to do and next thing you know its 3rd and 7. They are so convinced that me stopping their run plays the first two times was a fluke that they run again lmao on 3rd and 7. And now they just wasted a drive because when they come out in an I formation or multi-te set for three straight plays and I played run D each of the times, blitzing my CB’s.
