Run Commit to the Left/Right

Nawfside turned me on to this.

Everyone knows you can run commit down the middle, not everyone knows you can commit to the left or the right. You just hold R3 down and towards the direction you need to go.

Let's say I'm playing a guy who always runs a stretch to the right out of I-Form Strong. Once I notice it I can commit to the right (R3 down & rght) when I see him in that formation.

It is very dangerous to use, just as dangerous as a run commit to the middle. Obviously it is best against the power G, stretches, sweeps, pitches, tosses, etc.

I'm sure some of you guys know about it, but this is news to me. I'm going to be practicing with it more, with line shifts and what not, and see what I can do with it. Try some things for yourself and let us know how it goes.

wow i had no idea that you could do this. This is a great find eggs.

ill try this out tomorrow when i get back on

I did it a few times in the last game I just played. It definitely shuts down any toss, OF COURSE the cut back lanes are huge, but if you have some good tackles they might be able to contain that. Using the Panthers, I committed to the right and my opponent went to the left but Julius still made the play. I don't know how many times that will happen though.

Glad to see it posted up in here... Def helps with sooner and that counter or toss to C.J

I never knew that you could commit to sides. Wow!

i didn't know that either.

can you commit to the side on a pass too to stop a deep pass to circle???

i tried it out a little Bry, but couldnt really be for sure if it was working. you can shade the dbacks to either side presnap, so i guess its just better to do that anyway. rather, its the same thing.

No cuz when u commit it is right after the snap.. So left or right will be a run commit..

lol! yeah....i already knew about this....i thought it was common knowledge. sorry for not posting it earlier.
