BEATING THE NANO BLITZ

Ok guys im having trouble coutering the nano blitz i normaaly play with the broncos but lately ive been playing with the saints and ravens, the problem is the nano blitz has little to no resistence so screen passes dont work and i cant really force anything to my recivers,im basiclly an 90%passer and a 10%runner i just need some tips or plays to beat the nano blitz.

pinch line all the time when u see a nano setup.. block te too... or throw to the flats ... hb screen... run 5 wide out hard to protect the pass when u runnin 5 out while nano ....wr screens.. .. also quick hikes before they step up nano

I like to use Dual RB's, throw to flats, use RB's for blockers. Sub in TE and FB for a RB to use as blockers. Use the 5 Wide and hit slants, and screens. If u use mobile a qb then scramble.

Just watch which guys he sets up pre-snap, then send a quick slant or drag there. Easy first down and it'll stop the nanos.

Also....
Pinch the protection, motion in a TE or RB to block the spot they're coming through, or roll out.

Stretch runs are nice.

I form Tight Twins stretch works well for me as well as drag routes and flats.

If It's A-Gap pressure depending on the nano tosses work really well. But some nanos are so good you can't get the toss off in time but if you do it can lead to a big gain.

i also have trouble with these kinds of things. i like screens out of shotgun also i have found running out of shotgun works pretty good

EDIT: 100th POST! WOOOOOOO!!!

To get a toss off against a good A-gap blitz, motion a TE or WR that isn't on the line of scrimmage in and hike the ball when he's in the spot that the blitz is coming through. It'll block him, he won't get to your QB, and the toss will set up.

hit your t.e's up the seems.just pop it right over the blitzing lb's.instant nano stopper.also...use jumbo and power running sets to run around it with playaction mixed in as well.
