My 46 defense problems...

Aight so ive run 46 defense since the game came out and i have games where im destroying kids and i have games where people are just straight ripping me off for big gains.

My base defensive play is Cover 2 hawk and it doesnt bring pressure so it gives the qb alotta time to throw and they usually pick it off by throwing down the middle and the area between the flats and deep third. ITS STUPID BECAUSE IT HAS TWO LINEBACKERS/CORNERS IN BUZZ ZONES and they still cant ccover it..


I nano with Inside blitz/ safety fire/ cover 1/ the whole enchilada and it gets great pressure until i play some dude that kills it with slant routes, or LOBS TO FITZGERALD OR MOSS etc. i take away the flats pretty good but they kill it with quick slants or lobs..

everytime i nano i like to press coverage but it seems like my corners are always getting killed at the line of scrimage and their receivers get wide open.

I cant stop the run very well so i nano the hell out of it and usually all my losses are on the inconsistency of my defense..

ive had similar problems when i run the 46 maybe im just not meant to run it. lol i have trouble when people run on it seems like everyone gets pinned inside and the back bounces it outside or everyone get driven outside leaving this gaping hole in my line. i really like the 46 and have nothing bad to say about it cuz i know its a good formation i just gotta learn how to use it better.

your problem is that you nano all the time,and a good player will rip you for 70

what formation is Cover 2 hawk ?

David, put the corners in buzz zones and put the LB's in flat zones. the corners press the WR at the line so it covers the corners, and the flats get covered well too.

its in the 4-6 playbook

lab and find some fags ds and stuff

I run some 46. I run cover 3 Press. First, run Speed. Second, always spread the line. Third, Run bump/press. Sometimes leave LBs alone, sometimes I pinch them in. Flat covered by OLB/SS. In SPEED these are CB/SS always. Slant taken away by Inside LB - SS/MLB in Speed. Gotta have good, fast DBs for this. Outside run gets slaughtered. Spread line forces run to bounce outside where SS are waiting to eat it. If he shells down and goes big interior run on you bounce back to Base from Speed.

Change it up. Run cover 2. But do the same adjusts. Run Speed. Bump/Press with DBs, spread line, sometimes pinch LBs, sometimes leave em. Again, outside run should be null. Slant has breif window and easy TKL, Flats covered by CB.

Run Inside LB blitz. Bump/Press DBs, Spread Line. Pinch LBs. Terrific A gap, up the gut pressure. Kills Run. Sacks QB.

Run SS blitz. Bump. Spread Line. Shift Backers toward the problem. QB rollin right n thrown to R flat? Blitzing SS slaughters him. QB Rollin R/L for the HB screen - not so great. Only have a safety playing against those 2 o-Line. But then you gotta play the game. When you see that HB screen coming, get into cover 3 or 2 or man, or play it yourself with the DE. When you see under center pass or run coming, call the blitzes.
