The Most Frustrating Blitz Defense in Madden

[@Rezforty]

Crazy thing is that these 3-4 plays will be ran all game & the only thing that can give you a chance against it are RPOs, but then you’ll have bums complain about you just running the same 3-4 RPOs all game when they’re doing the same thing on defense. Makes no sense 🤣

[@AyeYou-y7n]

Very true😂😂😂

[@timbrown2030]

That's why play cool down and play lock is in Madden now

[@joncappo7297]

Bruh this good stuff! I saw somebody else talking about this method but your break down was better. Thanks my dude

[@Swolosimo]

Appreciate you Jon!

[@conanbarbosa1409]

@@Swolosimo Didn't work for me at all yesterday and I was looking so forward to it. For example, I audibled to FS Zone Blitz after safeties came down, did what you said and NO PRESSURE at all on the QB as all my blitzers were easily picked up. I got ran over too even when audibling to Cover 4. I don't know WTF was happening and how it works for others here. DB Fire 2 worked but that was about it.

[@Swolosimo]

I’d definitely give the video one more watch. This is one of those defenses where the details matter.

wow this is awesome totally changed my game. tried others with mixed results, but this is so dominating with the four options. good work bro

[@Swolosimo]

Thanks brother!

[@patrickburton5581]

Started running this defense today with this info. So far I'm liking what I'm seeing. Only tough cover is usering the middle of the field in certain coverages. I'll get that done though and keep growing.

[@Swolosimo]

Happy to hear it Patrick!

[@patrickburton5581]

Thank you for sharing!

[@DineshKumar-ms7yq]

Thank you so much. I'm finally getting some stops on defence.

[@mrhumble2937]

I mix in the actual double safety. Put the strong safety in a zone. Like on a 4th down, those 2 blitzes Still come in. But the offensive player isn't always ready for base allign man.

[@Swolosimo]

Def a good call for a mix in.

The Safety’s go back everytime I switch to fs zone blitz

Running The Cover 4 Has Great Coverage The Only Glitch Is Giving The Qb To Much Time To Scramble For A 1st Down

Better break down than anybody I have watched .

Thanks Man,this set up really throws off my opponents,i am really liking the cover 4 in the audible,with 2 lit d-men is OP,then send DB fire next play is nuts,they dont know what hit them.

Bro my safeties go right back when I audible?

[@sincerevybezent9189]

I have same issue

[@Swolosimo]

Do not press your defense or shift your defensive line in anyway.

[@mrcraigjohnsonjr]

Touch the safeties when they drop snd then swap the play

[@mrhumble2937]

The only thing I don't like is the outside thirds and quarters play the corners a little better pressed. To get the knock out.

[@Swolosimo]

Yes but if you leave them how they are you can use both a cloud and an outside deep zone effectively without your opponent easily guessing that you’re using a third/quarter because you’re pressed.

[@mrhumble2937]

@Swolosimo yea that's true. That's how I tell, soon as someone backs off a corner I assume cloud.

[@patrickburton5581]

How do you handle RPOs with this defense?

[@Vino_Ceno]

Every time I audible to the other play the players keep moving out of the box... Am I doing something wrong???

[@ryannowacyk9056]

They must have patched the fs zone blitz

[@itsjdogg414]

Does the SS Zone blitz work similarly? I like my strong safeties abilities and block shed (Peppers) better than my free safety (Ed Reed)

[@Swolosimo]

It doesn’t work. You can just switch their positions to get peppers at free safety.

[@rarebit4430]

You can pinch on some of these without your safeties moving back.

[@Swolosimo]

Yes but in general I leave it spread so they aren’t able to guess what play I’m in.

[@markbaker1645]

Make sure to follow the exact steps in the video: 1. Base align on 2. Auto flip off 3. Audible to a different play 4. Do not pinch defensive line (or shift them) 5. Do not press your defense or back off

[@sincerevybezent9189]

I have base auto flip off and base on, but my safeties go back when I audible from the first play, what do I need to change to get them to stay

Do not press your defense or pinch your defensive line. This makes them go back.

Dollar is much better, you cannot do the same things in dime 2-3.

[@marcsousa4904]

@Swolosimo good to know. Can you elaborate a little on that?

[@Swolosimo]

Dollar allows you to pinch your defensive line and has multiple plays where you can A-Gap blitz. Those other forms do not.

[@marcsousa4904]

@Swolosimo thanks man. Your content is awesome!

[@rarebit4430]

That FS zone blitz literally never comes in. Not even against terrible opponents who don't even make adjustments. The old way of doing it is more consistent.

[@Swolosimo]

I noticed the opposite. When you run this version of the blitz your opponent is more likely to block their running back/tight end because the blitz is THAT effective when they 5 out. This could be contributing to why you feel it’s less consistent.

[@rarebit4430]

@@Swolosimo possibly. Tried it in 3 different games, and it didn't come in more than once in any game. I absolutely love running spinner out of it though.

Yo Swol, do you recommend using the FS Zone Blitz against run plays? Also, what offensive sets do you suggest using DB Fire 2 against?

I would only run FS Zone Blitz vs Shotgun run plays. I like DB Fire vs Tight and Bunch sets.

You can back them off the typical way. 1. Press triangle or Y then X/A 2. Then click the closest WR to your outside corners icon 3. Press up on the right stick This will back them off. My button sequence may not be perfect, but I covered it in my 5 pro tips video.

Pause the game right before they force you to pick a play. After you unpause you’ll get 15 more seconds.
