This is one of my most favorite blitzes too! I also like to use this one....

3-4 normal strong blitz
1. show blitz
2. shift linebackers right
3. shift line left
4. slant line right or left(your preference depending on what you want to accomplish)
5. make this your audible, and audible to it at the last second before the ball is snapped. results in a 5 yard sack 90% of time.

Well, it depends on who I'm playing. If I'm playing a familiar opponent, I play to their tendencies(if they run man beaters, play zone, if zone beaters, play man), then once they are comfortable with what I am doing, I start sending some blitzes that are opposite of what I was doing(if i was playing man, i send a zone blitz, if i was playing zone, i send a man blitz).

I'm pretty comfortable and confident with my offense, so I don't mind giving up a touchdown every once in a while on defense, so sometimes I just completely do the opposite of what I had been doing, in an attempt to confuse the opponent. And sometimes I become one dimensional(use a single defensive play), letting them burn me for 8 yards consistently, and then once I know what they are going to do, I send a blitz and go for the pick.

Also I'm not like most of these play now hoes who just drop 10 guys into coverage everytime. I like to punish, so you can expect a lot of blitzing from me. Just don't expect me to blitz every series. :p

As far as disguising my blitzes, I just don't use the same blitz over and over and over. I use 3-4 normal strong blitz consistently but otherwise I use my entire defense to blitz. I might send 2 linebackers, one linebacker, 4 linebackers, one corner, 2 corners, a linebacker and a safety, or a saftey and a corner, etc, etc....

But honestly I think the key to my gameplan is that I'm just not too concerned aboout giving up touchdowns. I'm more concerned with creating turnovers cuz whoever wins the turnover battle wins the game 90% of the time.

cool here is another one

3-4 Normal Cover 2
1. Fake blitz
2. Global blitz linebackers
3. Put the DT in a spy
4. Put the right ILB in a hook zone
*Should get decent pressure off the edge


I only have one remote so i cant lab these vs slide protection. But if you can, let me know how they work

yah this looks pretty good, I do my own variation of this. I just don't globally blitz the linebackers. Instead I blitz the OLB on the weak side or opposite side of the runningback and put the strongside OLB in a flat zone or purple zone depending on whether I called cover 2 or cover 3. It still gets decent pressure, plus it keeps the runningback covered in the flat.

The one thing that burns me alot are slants and shallow posts. I think its just cuz they exploit my coverage, but I have so much trouble stopping them. Do you have this problem? Also are u on PS3? we should lab sometime.

[Ultimatum-A]

show blitz (y + left) on 360

or triangle + left on PS3

[Lites Out]

na im on 360 and I dont have too much problems in the middle. but with the pressure this play gets i dont think you have to worry about it

That Cover 2 set up will work with any 3-4 Normal play
