I was playing a guy online earlier and he was using Wisconsin and he had everyone lined up with the O-Linemen so it looked like he has 8-9 OL's. The only person that didn't line up next to the OL was the QB and HB. I was getting killed. He kept running and running against me for big yards. I don't know if he ran a power or counter but it was unstoppable.

How do I stop this?

My guess is that it was goal line set. If he had literally 9 Offensive Linemen he probably just formation subbed some OL in for the Tight Ends.

To stop a counter, bring a double B-Gap (between Tackle and Guard) blitz from your Linebackers. The backside Linebacker should have a wide open lane because the backside guard pulls on a counter while the Tackle blocks down.
To stop the power, bring blitzers of the edge. The playside blitzing LB/Safety should stretch the last blocker on the line far enough into the backfield that the RB is forced to cut up into traffic. The backside blitzer/end should be in position of the RB tries to reverse his field. A double corner blitz would be great here.
If your opponent is stretching the sideline (tosses/stretch handoffs) call a zone blitz. Call a play in which your corners/linebackers sit in the flats and then blitz someone between the flat and the DE. In goal line defense, "Flat Slide" is a good playcall.

No this isn't goaline. There is no FB.

9 O-Linemen? How is that even a legal formation, then?

Solidice · 10-01-2010, 10:09 PM

think it's the Ace - Jumbo Z formation.

other people have commented on people using wisconsin and running nothing but goal line formations but maybe it was some type of ace formation, though i cant image 9 men on the line is a legal formation

He probably misspoke on the 9 men on the line, it's most likely 7 on the line, with the 2 wings out of the ace formation. Formation sub everyone not at QB/HB to an offensive lineman. I do this in my goalline sets for extra blockers.

When I played against him it looks like 9 OL.
