How to STOP Faalele?

I’m not sure if anybody else is running into this issue but every other game I’m playing someone who runs Faalele every play until I completely commit to the run and then calls play action. 

 How do I stop this man? LOL

You can’t stop him. You can only hope to contain him. Dude has over 400 TD’s and 20,000 rushing yards averaging over 9 yards per carry. 
Absolute Monster 🧟‍♂️

Make sure you're matching personnel and playing your gap for whoever you user.   Do not guess run as this will burn you when they pass.   For his runs inside and ensure your shooting gaps with your user. 

I run a lot of 3-4 odd cover 4 when I see him and I'll manually put my edge rushers outside to make the line wider than natural while still having 7 in the box from bring safeties down.

I gave up. Worst card in the game to play against.

Facts he is so 🌽🏀

I played with him and stopped using him because he is so cheesy. Only cheeseballs continue to use him

use all your defensive AP on stonewall

I typically come out in something liek 4-3 Even 6-1 or 3-4 Odd and make sure you walk both safeties down into the box... DBs first step should be forward, to fill their respective run fits even when you're calling what appears to be pass coverage type plays.  If i'm really struggling to slow down the big boys, rather than USERing a middle linebacker, i'll grab the weak side Safety and plan on crashing down hard to hopefully shoot a gap and make a play (diving tackles, Square on PS5 are your friend).  Eventually you'll learn the timing for the most common run plays, HB Stretch, etc. but it's going to take a lot of luck and some skill, as well to slow down anyone committed to the run game.  Whatever it takes, just keep packing the box and make your opponent work for every inch.  Trying to keep Faalele at less than 3-4 yards per attempt is downright brutal.

Good luck.  May the gods help us all.

I constantly play all vangaurd Faalele spammers and I actually don’t think there’s a way to stop it tbh

Ditto - if you get one stop and then they throw an incompletion on 2nd down - then they’re behind the numbers - you just need a tackle for a loss and then they can beat themselves. If they’re committed and don’t abandon the run - it’s a long day

Get one of them fancy monitors where you can stick your arms through and comes out your opponents monitor, and just slap him.
