Recommended Defensive Pass Formation:

Nickel 2-4-5 Even

Pro Tip

  • Use CB Chris Johnson on your opponent’s fastest WR.
  • CB Corey Graham should be your #2 CB.

Man Coverage

Setup:

  • Put the linebackers on a Global hook zone
  • Base align twice
  • Our outside defenders will be in press coverage while the middle of the field will be flooded with zone defenders.
  • This is a great setup if your opponent attempts to attack the middle of the field.

Zone Coverage

Setup:

  • Shade the defensive secondary coverage in
  • Flat zone both outside linebackers
  • User-control the MLB over the middle of the field.
  • The sidelines will be blanketed, so anticipate throws over the middle.

Man Blitz

Setup:

  • Press coverage
  • Global blitz the linebackers
  • User-control the FS covering the HB.
  • Watch for any CBs who get beaten off the line of scrimmage and look to protect deep.

Zone Blitz

Setup:

  • Press coverage
  • Global blitz the linebackers
  • User-control the FS and look to play over the short middle.
  • If there are any deep routes over the middle you must drop back and defend them.
