Hey man, you should consider doing some videos in a quiz format. Like you show the offensive play art at line of scrimmage, maybe a clip of some motion so we can get a read on man or zone, then pause it and ask "Would you do A/B/C" with hot routes, protections, etc.

[@Iluvjudahmoscato]

Yea I agree that would be a good way to apply what you are learning

[@melvinburns3414]

That would be sweet

[@pizza8am]

This has to be one of the most useful videos for the game so far. So many of the o-lines just disintegrate in this game unless you know what to do. Absolutely vital to have this advice!

I played football back when we didn’t learn all this stuff. I had to watch this a few times to get. My sons talk about stuff I’ve never heard of. I’m learning all the new lingo.

[@garyhendrickson4644]

@kurtbenkert I don’t comment much on your videos, but just wanted you to know between CFB 25, and Madden 24 - you have helped me take my game to the next level. Your personal exp as a QB and football knowledge translated into the games is tremendously helpful and the break downs you do. You’re definitely out there achieving what John Madden wanted with the game and teaching others about football. Great stuff! Really enjoy your content.

[@jbbeats2042]

With Kurt’s football experience and the amount of detail in this game (you can literally do whatever you want from the line) he might just be the best player in this game lol

[@vans1788]

A thing of beauty, the learning curve in this game is steep and knowing these concepts just give you an added advantage. These are the types of technical videos I love and I can tell it's your bread and butter!

[@GMLurk]

Every time you post a video I get reminded of how little I know about football and I thank you for your work! 😂

[@KurtBenkert]

Here to help 🫡

[@kml9114]

You’re the GOAT of Madden videos, i love learning real concepts you can use and not video game cheese. I’d enjoy full length uncut games with your commentary on every decision, I think lots of ppl would, maybe a subscriber only feature? I’d pay monthly for that 👍 great work!!

[@KurtBenkert]

I like that 🫡

[@matthewhcleveland_]

Me applying all this information so my 75 overall qb has even more opportunities to throw inaccurate balls

Get that 81 QB Dart from the welcome pack! If it’s CUT you’re talking about I mean

[@BryceBowen-b4u]

Kurt, love your content dude! Watched so many of your videos. I only ask one thing; you tell us what you're doing, "half-sliding the line to the right and I'm looking for y on this corner" "half-slide to the left going to pump fake y and hit b" but you're not telling us what you're accounting for when you slide the protection in gameplay. It'd be super helpful watching this if you could give a playback freeze frame of the reads you're looking at since you're processing the information so quickly and also have so much information to break down. I have to keep replaying the same 5 second window to try to see what you're seeing so quickly! After watching it over and over again it's almost as if you're halving through the center, quickly counting the numbers on a half, and then half-sliding the line to the side the defense that has more numbers, or if they're in a 1 high safety look with 5 and 5 on both 'halves' you slide to the Mike side? Maybe? Unless there's an overhang defender on the line in which case you half slide to overhang side? Is a deeper in depth reason as to why you're shifting the line to the side you're shifting to in the Foundations guide? You do mention what you're seeing but it all just happens so quickly!

[@richardnaveda4771]

In getting better on the o line calls but watching this help me realize it helps to change routes up with the o line adjustments great video!

[@1Chosen337]

Man now I wanna see that whole game where bro was talking 😂😂

[@KurtBenkert]

😂😂😂

[@mattlechtner4089]

Really liked this. Would also like an even more dumbed down video - when to use these based on what you’re looking at pre snap

[@rileybailes]

i barely have enough time to hot route and motion 🤣🤣 let alone pass protect

[@drew4317]

accelerated clock?

[@commonman317]

As a much older player, this game is way faster than those older games I grew up with.

[@rodneycarr2972]

Nice to find your channel. I remember watching you play against Miami. You were on 🔥

[@micah2145]

Thank you Kurt when I get the game im gonna try these pass protections

[@fadeonsight3212]

just downloaded Foundations and i can already tell it’s a knockout in terms of understanding the nuances of the game. thank you for all the effort you put into helping people learn.

[@KurtBenkert]

Means the world to me man, a LOT of work put into it 🫡

[@ltsReallyHim]

5:00 bro had 2 tds open. I do respect the commitment to throw to Y😆

KB is the plug. I’m giving my friends the work

[@charlespace7096]

You and Brett Kollman saved this game for me. I was getting so frustrated with the offensive line

[@thomasreyes9331]

I don't have college football 25 yet so this would really help thanks Kurt

[@jaayare1]

Thank you for bringing football back to playing video games

[@gavinohanlon2764]

Thank you so much for making this. I knew I needed to set protections but I didn't know what I was looking at. It also grows my actual football knowledge too so thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@KurtBenkert]

Got you dude 🫡

[@wmbedsole1]

I didn’t even know this. 😮. Thanks.

[@joshuabland4969]

Proud of you bro I follow you on insta too I can definitely see you as oc coordinator on a college team one day nfl . The way your innovating things your a master at and getting business off of it is brilliant . Funny my dad would hate me playing madden growing up now that I’m older he admits how much it could teach you 😂Much success to the benkerts.

[@doowopp3sosa297]

Hey man, I’ve been a fan of watching football and enjoying the technical/tactical aspect of it, thank you so much for providing detailed information like this because it helps me learn a lot about the game and compete, I’m still new learner but your videos help me a lot! Thank you so much for your knowledges !

[@CorbyQ]

I absolutely love your channel. Have since I found you a while back. The way you break down offense from the view of a real QB is amazing. I really want this game. Thank you for your hard work.

[@KurtBenkert]

Thanks man really glad you like it all

[@PhillyFan1000]

Just came across your videos cause but glad I did! I appreciated how in depth you go in when explaining and showing game examples to help learn that shit better, you're the man!

[@lakiedtz]

W video , Can’t wait for the how to read defenses along what to throw against them as well

[@professorvalk]

Been watching you for a bit Kurt. I’ve been using your advice to make audibles for me team at the line

[@P_Riqo]

I needed this video because good gawd some teams it seem like you’re playing a line full of Warren Sapps and Lawrence Taylor’s

[@ShadowF305]

OL blocking is absolute dog shit in this game lol

[@coachhotrod308]

As a former OL, I approve this message

I have the guide, I'm a little on the fence about it, but I'm going to read it again. (I think I'm ready for the next step in learning). LOL

[@RealJev]

Your content is sick, love watching your stuff

[@OldHeadLoot]

Was just looking for one of these videos yesterday

[@dylangarrett8133]

Still don’t understand pass protection

[@scorpio-yp3hu]

Me too 😂 idk how many times I watched but it's also gonna be in Madden

[@osirissmith5254]

If you’ve played College football 1-4 years or played at a good HS program, this stuff is very easy to learn and apply. However, look at some basic pass protection schemes, techniques on KZbin for real life then come back to this video. It should become easier. I was a running back thus I needed to know my assignment plus I took it on myself to always learn my OL so encase its a miss read I can alert my QB or take the risk to add to my assigned blocks (sorry coaches lol)

Kurt we need that playbook !!!

[@team624811904]

I’m so glad you made this video thank you and I just subscribe 💪🏽💪🏽

[@jasonh1586]

Really could use a video about how to read these disguised coverages in CFB 25. For example, showing a 2 shell when the defense is in cover 3. Can be tough to read pre-snap. Thanks for the great content.

[@TheeDonnieRey]

There Is No Way To Tell Pre-Snap. Thats The Point Of The Shell. Make You Think Its A Different Coverage To Confuse You. You Just Have The Watch How The Safeties Drop After The Snap. That'll Tell You The Coverage Most The Time Unless It's Man Mixed With Zone, Then You Would Have To Check If Receivers Are Manned Up Or Not. Cuz Cover 2 Can Look Like 2 Man Under If You Just Watch The Safeties.

[@thomaslantosh3420]

Just subscribed bro! You're very intelligent and have a deep knowledge of the game. Looking forward to future content! ❤ 👍

[@MasteringTheField]

Full slide works well against odd fronts. Just slide away from an OLB and the back has him

[@donalds57]

crushed it as always

[@jamalellis2389]

That full slide with a mobile qb 🔥🔥

[@LeoVizuals]

Has anyone else experienced not seeing any of the lines when choosing pass protection to show who is going where? Mines never showed since the game dropped.

[@ZEOLOT10]

Same here was so confused watching this video even when I click over to full slide it doesn’t even register in practice mode anyway…

[@bigmerce23]

Yes! It’s so frustrating.. so many of the pre snap adjustments on offense and defense don’t register for me.. didn’t know if it’s bc it’s online or what but I’d love to hear a fix

[@richardnaveda4771]

I think it’s partly crowd noise and I think when it’s play action it’s not gunna adjust

[@jimmiehissong_golfcoach]

Been messing with this and disguising shells at the playcall screen on D. Rage quits for days lol

[@calebsaidso]

Bro hopped on the mic not knowing he going against a surgeon 😂

[@KurtBenkert]

😂😂😂

[@LPTrickShots]

What playbook do you use? I’ve been using Arizona so far but was wondering what you would recommend

[@dirk5044]

Thank you for the video, but we shouldn't have to do all of this. The blocking is broken, and even the sliders don't fix it. Played with LSU against Bama on All American in Dynasty. Their pass rushers were running on turbo. I couldn't even complete a screen pass to the RB, so I had to resort to the same few cheap plays to win. My blockers would literally stand there doing nothing, while their front line were all Lawrence Taylor reincarnated. And if you do get the ball out, Deion Sanders is waiting at any position to intercept the ball. Meanwhile, my defense has the reaction time of a D3 DB. A patch is needed asap.

[@Ogbobbybuckets]

That last play was diabolical

[@whereruaaron]

Great vid, now I just need the the CPU to not morph the DBs ahead of my receivers

[@Ne330ezy]

Definitely had to sub up! What's your favorite Offense & Defense in the game so far?

[@KurtBenkert]

Still working on it

[@virginianative847]

This game is a lot more difficulty than I remember it 😂😂 it’s super in depth I love it tho. I have to have a lot of practice in trash at it.

[@dAaronL5]

Can you make video walking through when to call these protections and exactly what you’re looking for when you do

[@johnredelfs6115]

Hey Kurt love vids man can’t wait for you to make a diabolical playbook

[@tommymcarthur1058]

Some of the most useful content thank you

[@MrFallou13]

How do you get the red line showing how each players match up. Mine doesn’t show that

[@Nr2003isfun]

the blocking is so bad in this game ngl

[@Glokktiana]

no it’s just mechanical

[@Corywinget81]

​@@Glokktianano, it's bad. It's a video game. You shouldn't have to make 17 adjustments to run the football. Don't get me started on defenders making form tackles through blocks

[@Diegocasto920]

@@Corywinget81or you’re just shit at the game

[@Supersoldier2448]

Okay so idk if this is a problem in head 2 head but at least for me in dynasty im having MAJOR problems wotj pass blocking amd the ai sending nano blitzes every plau ahainst me. At first i thoight it was what it was because i was playing st army witj a bad o line, but tjen i took a job at bama and the o line os 90+ across the board in my league and im getting MAYBE 1.5-2.5 seconds to throw. Am i bad ir is the pass blocking bad?

[@deadinizer]

How do you get the blocking to show up. When I hold the bumper I get the options but can’t see who is blocking who.

[@Captain_sav_a_ho]

Same, I don’t get any of that stuff showing up. I’ve pressed every damn button on my controller!!!

do you stream ? i would love to watch this live
