2025 Championship run

Howdy, all...
Another season in the books.
I don't post much, but wanted to thank Dave and everyone else who's still up and running a team these days. Being able to check in for game results a couple times a week has been pleasant throughout what has been a fairly dismal few months.
There was a bit of talk earlier in the year about getting teams' gameplans and the like posted each week. There are some hurdles in the way, it seems, but in the meantime I thought I'd put mine up. I settled in pretty early on, and left it for the season.
I'm thinking what I'll do is leave it for next year, all 14 games (and playoffs, if the team gets that far). I only make injury changes, generally, so the roster I have up week 1 is likely to ride the full season. This way, anyone with the Tide on their schedule can plan and scheme against the setup. I'm hoping folks will post what they're throwing against it, that more veteran owners might offer advice to newer players, and a few conversations might kick up here on the forum.
Offense:
1st Half: KC, with KC coach
2nd Half: Run Conservative 4 (RC4) with Run Aggressive coach
Defense:
1st and 2nd Half: CHI, with CHI coach
It's a fairly basic setup, really. Offensively, in the first half, the team goes pass-first to move the ball, becoming more conservative as they reach the red zone. In the second half, the passing game gets extremely conservative and gives way to a grinding run game that slows everything down.
Defensively, it's usually a 4-3 that tends to be very aggressive up front and hope the DBs don't screw up coverage too badly.
It's not particularly creative or exotic, but with a solid roster (and a lot of luck with few injuries this season), it's a setup that's decent against most defenses and stifling with a lead.
I'm hoping y'all will work out how to crush it and clue each other in. See if you can flip 'em to 2-12 next season.
Good luck this offseason.
