NFL QB Teaches Different Types of Reads

[@GMLurk]

This was awesome and SUPER easy to understand as someone who's never played real football, thanks for this!

[@KurtBenkert]

LOVE this comment

[@jamesmacklin5193]

Man thank you. This to me is by far the best Madden channel. Instead of just uploading "money" plays you actually teach concepts. Keep them coming brother!

[@trent.langley]

Damn, I’ve been reading high to low instead of low to high concepts… glad i didn’t pass up on this video! I see the value. “Don’t pass up the easy plays”. Love it.

[@KurtBenkert]

Glad you found it here!

[@Widow_Son]

I think that’s my problem. I actually read low to high but I hate taking the easy throws 🤣🤣

[@dreyfus37_65]

This fundamentally changes how I’ll be playing CFB 25. I didn’t really know how to make reads before. Just stare down my red receiver and hope for the best lol

[@lbeagles1711]

Bro same I just played a game after this video and dropped 42 points to his 21 and I’ve been struggling before

[@JJMills2219]

Bro I’m so bad in cfb I need help bad 😭

[@ajbickford312]

Not sure if you’ve done this, but would love to watch you play some regular games of Madden with an eye tracker. Would help a lot with showing exactly what you see play by play

After following this channel for a while….I was finally able to have a 5k passer in my dynasty ✊🏾🙏🏾

KB is the goat man, Teaching football from a NFL Qb perspective, The only channel like this on KZbin. Other guys just show cheese plays and not how to read .

[@patlong714]

Love your perspective Kurt it brings me back to my film sessions in college haha. We ran stick concept a ton in JUCO. Pre snap read to back side slant, post snap to go route if he's pressed or its a cover 2 corner. Our TE was nice on the options so that was always a good read too

[@stretch_the_law]

This has helped me so much with just getting easy completions. I am not playing online, but dominating in Dynasty and RTG. Keep doing your thing!

[@kbcondones_]

I’m a db and this helps me in real life, thank you so much Kurt!!

[@KurtBenkert]

Lfg dude glad it helps

[@opmampm4061]

Your videos got me playing Madden again. Thank you

[@KurtBenkert]

I really appreciate it dude 🫡

[@cadejukes6065]

One of the only madden content creators I respect, this dude can take any formation, any concept, and dissect it. Meanwhile, the majority of the madden “content creators” literally spew out the same videos of the same dumb meta that EA puts in madden every year. It’s become such a vanilla, bland, pay to win game and it is so painful to witness.

[@Midv1322]

I mean I would hope so he was a nfl QB.

I absolutely love everything about this. This type of content is so helpful

[@bvoy1455]

Freaking incredible to watch these videos and get a pro QBs perspective on what they're seeing and why they make the decisions they make.

[@kkriz6695]

Good video! Can you go through slide protections Also would like to see under center/ play action. I like to run the ball and want to get better at keeping teams off balance

Thank you for your content. I’ve been able to understand the intricacies of my play selection better watching a number of your videos. Still get impatient sometimes with trying to force something that isn’t there, but I usually can recognize quickly why I made the wrong choice and where the ball needed to go.

[@ls0768]

I'm now getting into football and recently bought my first Madden. I wasn't getting anything going but I swear this helped sooo much. Appreciate it ❤

[@jimmiehissong_golfcoach]

May be the best video youve made! (The protection one today was great too!)

[@Htownforever713]

Yea in college football I rarely have time to read more then 2 routes if they aren’t open I’m sacked and I have a beast offensive line in ULTeam so I just have about ten plays that always get open I use then I switch it up to other plays that I will get sacked sometime in😂😂

[@silkmonkey]

Actual knowledgeable QB making me feel better about taking easy completions even if my YPA drops a bit. Keeping drives going with steady completions just feels GOOD.

[@shannonxsteele9831]

Thank you.Very informative.So basically quick passing routes are pick a side and medium passing concepts are low to high?

[@East573]

You are the man thank you so much kurt this changes how I look at madden now

[@connor5803]

How do I get sacked less , I’m always getting sacked so when they get close I just throw it and lose interceptions , I love your vids man very knowledgeable

[@Emcstats]

Subscribed! Love the content and truly developing a deeper understanding of the game!

[@xHugoxN7]

You break this stuff down very well, thanks brother.

[@bluedevil3473423]

Hey Kurt, loving the videos! At 20:14 when you hit the post, is that a cover 3 that is disguised as a cover 4? Pre snap you have sort of the frowny face shape to the 3rd level defenders, but that left side safety is dropping into what looks like a purple curl to flat. All credit to your videos, thanks!

[@ldent15]

I loved learning about the passing game, THANK YOU! 👍

[@brendan9951]

When you do a jet sweep press B to hover over the player in motion then hike feel like gives less of a tell Just like doing hot routes on run plays

[@KurtBenkert]

Oooo that’s smart

[@gns4838]

Vs a cover two look and running that corner route, guys will streak RB to open that corner. Then read the corners drop, you could also streak the backside wr to keep FS wide and open the middle for a streak to RB.

[@thorgen_ironside5279]

The only Madden content I can watch and enjoy. Thanks!

[@KurtBenkert]

Man means a lot. More otw

[@smokeythegreat7131]

Thank you tremendously for doing these videos, still fresh at learning this and following you the best I can. Its helped me a lot in CF25, getting a lot better than I used to be lol. Im not too familiar with route names and still figuring out zone coverage.

[@Bruhbushka]

That jet sweep cut was so nasty

[@KurtBenkert]

Crazyyy haha

[@tylermarr6488]

Can you do something similar for the running game? What defenses to look for, what concepts to run, etc.?

[@kendallallen6618]

Really helped me understand what players to look for pre snap. Thanks Kurt!

[@christorres9736]

You’re the goat g my madden game has 100% went up since I followed you

[@Ender-x2n]

This is excellent Kurt, thank you. I played in college and I never understood passing progressions like you just taught. You should be coaching if you aren’t already. Question for you: when do you make a choice to go high low on progressions (I noticed you did that once or twice in the game)? Is it with deeper concepts or do you see something with the secondary and LBs that makes you change from low-high?

[@KurtBenkert]

Mostly by timing of how things play out, sometimes it’s situations based

[@napoleonbailey4060]

My issue in real life and madden, is tunnel visison, not seeing the levrage and locking on one receiver (guess that makes me a bad QB ... LOL) Awesome break breakdowns. Can't want to try the learning guide.

[@stos5363]

For some reason the Madden 25 beta is still working for me, The QB pump fix on this game affect the DB. So crazy you guys are going to love this s***

Thanks for posting

[@YourCoachTex]

Love your videos man. I consider myself a student of the game, and now that I have sons that is something I try to provide for them. I’m about to start posting videos when the college game comes out, I would love to chat, pick your brain, and maybe catch a pass from you.

[@KJ.392]

Thank you!! Great video

[@ATMadison]

Can I get a playbook based on these 3 concepts! This makes it so much easier to understand. I appreciate the help.

[@kentrellgarrett5174]

Kurt love your vids my man but how do you do the deep outs and ins? The ones where u can get too the sticks

[@b.a.m5367]

Do you have a video similar to this but for stopping things on defense?

[@trustone5166]

Thanks again Kurt

[@BigBirdBillE]

This is great! What playbook do you suggest?

[@jeffyang4936]

That Jet Sweep at the end was insane lol. that did not look like it was gonna work

[@Ogreslayer93]

Are you gonna do any CFB 25 content?

[@kathyworthy7601]

Kurt how do you get your wrs and tes to go deep for hot routes

[@Yalltakeme4ajoke]

How do you get the ball off against a cover 4 press playing against teams like The Cowboys, Bills , Eagles, The Chiefs who have great pass rushers?

[@SwiftlyUSC]

Love these videos! They are so damn helpful! Keep up the good work! Fight On! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@dwaynejames188]

Question: I watched this video and your "how to read defenses video". I often play a guy who uses a lineman to help defend routes. Does that change these concepts?

Bro your knowledge of reading defenses is UNMATCHED. You should create an Ebook. This way you can earn money on this stuff. I appreciate it being free but bro you should monetize your knowledge. No on on this grind can explain this stuff this well.

[@djuro14]

My brain hurts.

[@heythereimkevin]

he disrespect of the "wrong side" jet sweep lmao

[@Nightwing300]

I’m starting to understand why Rodgers held on to the ball so long. He was waiting for the deep passes to develop. I don’t think he enjoyed taking check downs all game. Where as Brady seemed like he always took the check downs.

[@kevincurnick]

But Kurt, 99% of Madden players would tell you the slant is supposed to be a third window throw completed at the opposite sideline vs zone 🤦🤣

Step 1. Start franchise mode and trade HB away for literally anything else. Step 2. Profit Love the way you don’t get give 2 plays that are 1 play TDs then leave us stranded for every other situation when they finally stop the broken play.

Great video mate. I am from Britian and I'm really wanting to get into American Football, mostly through madden. I can watch our football and my favourite part is the tactical side, player in the half spaces, high press, inverted fullbacks etc but the sheer amount of tactics in this sport is absolutely daunting to say the least. Feel like I'm back in Maths class 😂 So long story long, where should I start? Or what order should I start learning things.

[@OctoberHourglass]

Ex star Texas 3A QB from 2000-2004 here. That being said, I already know all my reads KB. Nothing more for me to learn on any level. And THAT being said, I can’t wait for the NCAA road to redemption to drop mayyyyyyne!! 😂 Yes this was satire. And yes I was a stud back when Bush was in office. Check tape.
