Wow how do you guys make all these adjustments to your plays before your opponent snaps the ball?!? damn that sounds like so much changes what if they snap the ball right away?

Do your shifts and the movemtns like that right as you break the huddle and are walking to the line, that way if you choose to adjust individual men you can do so after they take the line of scrimmage.

I'm just beginning to incorporate the 3-4 defense into my scheme. I've always been a big fan of 4-DLs, but I have seen the benefits of running the 3-4. My question is: "I have problems defending out patterns (a lot) and the corner route (high pass); what would you do for this out of the 3-4 set or any other? It's really the Achilles' Heel of my defense. I'm pretty good against the run, in most cases, and I often have my opponent in 3rd and 7-10, but those 2 routes, even when I use the purple zone, seem to hurt me. I play mostly league games, and it seems that these two plays are most often run in these situations. HELP!!!

dammmm good stuff right here i just started running the 3-4 and the 3-4 under is amazing againt the runs i can finally shutdown this dude who uses the panthers yesss and i feel like it causes more turnovers because they try to cut or bounce to the outside and if you have an ok stick you can pop them for a fumble with the SS or LB

A combination of heat and coverage can help because those routes take time to develope. From a Cover3 shell, send an OLB off the edge from that problematic side and either have the closest ILB or Safety, zone that area with either a flat or purple zone. Try modifying Engage8 or a play like TrioSkyZone, it's the quickest way IMO because alls you then have to do is playmaker a few zones here and there. The heat should force your opponent to either throw it quicker before the route fully developes or it should force your opponent to roll opposite of the heat which should then create a bad angle to pass if he still wants to throw that out or corner route. He'll most likely have to throw across the field which is bad and can create INTs. Most outs or corner routes require a slight QB rollout to create a better passing angle, that's why the heat can help out, it should keep the QB in check. Also if the heat becomes too great, your opponent might possibly hotroute the TE to block, thus eliminating him as a recieving threat. It's just something to try, I find it works nicely for containment. Try playmakering the DE opposite of the blitzing OLB to a QB Contain, that can further keep the QB in check and create sacks. You might not always get the INT or deflected pass, but usually you get the quick tackle and minimal gain.

I like to use man under in the same way as well. If you decide to go "2Man Under" from the 3-4, use plays like DoubleX/Z/TE instead of the traditional 2Man under play. Those plays have 1OLB blitzing off the edge which will create a nice 4 man rush, but FLIP the play if you have to so the blitzing OLB blitzes off the problematic side. You also will probably want to playmaker the safety in double man coverage to a deep zone and then shift the zone more towards his side and then control the opposite safety and vice versa to create that 2 man under. And at times instead of blitzing that OLB, playmaker him to a flat or purple zone or even man. With the Nickel-2-4-5 you can do similiar, instead of always rushing those 2 OLBs from a play like 2Man Under, you can playmaker them to a zone or man at times.

dont fast developing running plays up the middle with a fb kill the spread and loop and pinch the lbs?? because if i do a dive i got virtually 4 blockers hitting the 2nd level of ur defense the guard has no1 lined up over him so hes going for the lb my fb is following him getting the next man which is the saftey and my other guard is getting that other lb who is uncovered


kind of hard to explain but if i had a screen shot you could see

I personally dont like, or run 3-4 defensive schemes. Usually because they never work on the type of people I play like my cousin who is a heavy runner, and abuses the ravens run game. Just saying
