Thank you brotha! This is my first year calling my teams defense and this is the best video I've seen. It's really practical and thorough. Thanks again.
Picked up madden a few days ago..I only know Australian rules football, so I had no idea wtf was happening in NFL. Done the basic tutorials and stuff. I watch DB room vids and it all fell into place. Now I'm hooked on this game. Thank you sir.
I am! Just have to get all the basic installation in first! Middle field safety for cover 1 and cover 3 is almost the same! But have to understand the coverages first to talk about the nuances!
So when you touched on the 'Danger' call for (I hope I'm getting this right, I'm learning a ton) you said a 2 by 2 split against your cover 3, the free safety would come over to cover the TE's route and the nickel would do the same for the slot. For that 'Danger' call, do the other 3 defenders keep the same zones, or do you blitz with the SS?
They play their zones! SS doesn’t blitz! We are playing normal 3 deep! We are just carrying the verticals to protect ourselves! If they don’t run 4 verticals everything is normal cover 3!
Whenever you hear someone mention personnel it’s just code word for how many running backs and tight ends are in the formation. The first number is always the amount of running backs and the second number is tight ends
How do you decide which olb carries his guy deep vs 4 verts. Is it because the TE is usually a slower guy and the safety picks him up? What if its 10 personnel 2 slots and 2 wideouts?
