trouble stoping the run

i seem to have trouble stopping off tackles and counters i usually run rush outside out of 46 but they still manage to 4-6 yards on me every time.Does anybody know any plays or nanos or sumtin that can help me stop these running plays?

Try experimenting with showing blitz, pinching, crashing, containing and other pre snap adjustments. There are ways to stop the run without blitzing.

yeh blitzing isnt the only way to stop the run jus lik LUN@TIK said try experimenting with showing blitz and certain formations

I allow under 50 yards per game on the ground, and regularly stuff the run out of a Cover 2 defense with just a few pre-snap adjustments.


I run the 46 defensive playbook, and I will also use certain blitzes to blow up running plays as well. Rush Outside from 46 Normal is a good choice, as is Inside Blitz from the same formation.

If it's the outside running game that's giving you issues, put a spotlight on the halfback, and use some sort of DE contain, or LB contain defense.


There's a number of different ways to play the run, it just takes practice.

what are some good pre snap adjustments?

Well, if you think the run is going outside, try putting your DEs in contain. User your FS to stuff the outside run.

If you think it's going to come up the gut, I like Rush Outside from 46 Normal. Spread your linebackers, pinch your DL, user the FS in the middle of the field. Actually, this will also work if you think it's going outside...just don't pinch the line, and put the DEs in contain.

If I'm not sure where the run might be going, I'll usually play some sort of DE contain, show blitz, and put the FS right behind the DTs and user him.

Actually, the 46 Outside Rush play will work for just about running play now that I think of it, with the right adjustments.

k thanks man i'll def try this

Just recognize the run and user sum1. if there's 2TE's on a side,shift to dat side or spread line and crash to dat side. usually showin blitz,crashing line does it 4 me.but i blitz 57% anyway lol

any advice in using the 3-4 I struggle against jacobs and adrian peterson on outside runs.

I get great success stopping the run by calling man and highlighting the running back

holler at me on xbl in 60 plus games im only allowing 20 ypg... ill show u hwo to stuff the runner

cheeto's what play's you do to stop the run??

Fuzion had a good play check out the post.

You can take any zone defense apart if you know what you're doing. I tend to mix it up, it's not like I'm using the same play over and over again. I blitz the run, I drop into a cover 2, sometimes a cover 3, sometimes I got into a Man Under 2.
