Stopping Quick Slants

[JF-HAWKEYE]

I have a dynasty game against my buddy for the nat'l championship, he cannot beat me with his running game, I have an amazing front 7 but does quick slants ALOT that beat me, and also the deep ball. If I stop both I win no prob, but what would you recoommend? I'm thinking 4-2-5 or Dime ?

To stop slants Max Nickel or Max 4-2-5 very useful for me! Also 4-3 cover 2 spy and 3 spy killer coverages. Deep balls run coverage 3-3-5 (deep cover 3) is really good and nickel cover 3 cloud but remember on the cloud coverage u have to flip the coverage to his favorite passing side of the field. Same for the Cover 4 practice looking at the flips and watch how the coverage changes! Cover 4 is also good for Deep balls :cool: remember to back up!
