Flats,Off Tackle,Screen D provided by Im Da Ish at madden

Flats
1. Dollar strike 2 spy. Why this works: It gets outside heat so when they roll out to hit the flats they have to throw it hot , and the corners are in their blue zones for the pick. You must get outside heat to cut them from rolling out, because if they can't roll out then your corner will stay in his flat zone.
2. Dollar cover 2 sink. Put a person in a contain and the hook zone covers it really well.

Off tackle: Monster green out of Nickel Odd-Split.
Steps
1. Reblitz both front DTs
2. Reblitz both MLBs and place them in the gap between both of the DTS.
3. Place the linebacker on the far right that is blitzing on a contain. In a goaline formation he is on the line lined over the far TE. (to help make it more clear)
4. User it with your safety.
Note: This works vs all off-tackle plays, including goaline. Must have good stick skills though

Screens: Nickel Odd-split
I run monster 3
1. I reblitz both DTs
2. Reblitz both MLBs and place the, in between both DTS.
3. Put the DE on the screen side on a contain. (So if they're doing a screen to the right, then put the DE on the right side of your screen in a contain.)
4. The nano should get there and then the person throws the screen and the guy in a contain should pick it.
Special thanks to: Chris. Him and I spend a whole lot of time in the lab together to help make these plays. The monster green should work every time. You just have to shoot the gap with your safety and it should be an easy hit stick.
Attention: I found a new off-tackle stopper, that stop it WITHOUT sacrificing coverage.
34-normal Qb contain.
1. I would recommend audibling down from quarters so you will have better man coverage.
2. Pinch the LBs, and the D-line.
3. User it with your safety.
4. Why this works: The lbs on a contain force the rb inside and you can easily make a play with one of your safeties.

Nickle Odd split= BEASTLY
good post

yeah in the 46 i run inside blitz, spread the line and blitz both LB and place them in each A gap. stops almost every run play. i also contain the ends someimes too

nice 46 ply, i normaly pinch but spreadin would work too

yeah its my run stopper. i might have to try and pinch the line though. see how it works

does spreadin ur line cause a nano?

I use a similar setup to this, and then I also use Rush Outside. Between those two plays, it's tough sledding for running backs.

I pinch the line with Rush Outside, and spread the backers. My setup with Inside Blitz is pretty close to yours, though.

yeah it puts your 2 DT in roughly the same spot as the odd split ( each one kinda over the guard) so when you do it against the run, one of them will get into the backfield. maybe not tackle the RB anything like that. but if you user somebody those blitzing LB slow him down enough to hold the RB to 0 or negitive yards

Credit goes to crazyblack:
Another off tackle stopper. I labbed it this morning, and it stops goaline off-tackle.
46 Inside blitz
1. Spread your line
2. Globally blitz all LBS.
3. Make the far end on the side the run is going to do a contain.
4. Pinch your LBS.
5. Hit stick the ball-carrier with your safety.
Note: It should be a HUGE gap for your safety to shoot through. there you guys go. I should not see anymore threads about stopping goaline-off tackle. Crazyblack, Chrisc, and I gave you 2 plays to handle it.

46 inside blitz is a beast play and so is the nickel odd split formation for anything

but what about out of the 3-4 I run the steelers D and this guy just got me for 3 screens it doesnt have any 46 or nickle odd split?

thanks cuz i was really havin a hard time stopping off tack and not giving up another big play like pass

Change playbooks?

switch to jets

k

So on the inside blitz u still have to reblitz the DT's right

you never had to reblitz them, just the backers... at least from my experience

ya good play (ish) if you know for sure they are going to run, but if they throw out of that formation or playaction ur done.. no coverage behind it..

one thing i like to do is call any man defense. i crash the d line to the side of the screen. i place the DE opposite to the screen in contain so the qb cant roll out. then i also place the DE to the side of the screen in a flatzone.

this does a pretty decent job because the DE keeps the qb in the pocket, disrupting the timing of the screen. the man coverage will make sure the screen man will not get any easy release as well as providing coverage throughout the field. the screen side DE is there to clean up any mistakes.

optional: b&r, and also placing the screen side DE in contain (can usually cover HB screens and may result in a pick if you are using a LB rush package)
