Containing the HB Direct Snap

HEre is a way I discovered today that contains the Dricet Snap to 2 or 3 yards. I was labbin Bears against Titans, so I had Urlacher against frail Chris Johnson. I found out that if you blitz a LB and move him about 4 yards back, he gets to the HB as soon as he hits the Oline. You should also put both DE's on contains to try and stop the outside dip, but you don't have to.

Thats what i have always done, if he shakes your first LB your in trouble

i had right DT as a spy

and the RE as a contain and i shadow with a LB over top the RB

stops it good

Nice, thanks... this is very helpful against those guys who cant run offense for s*** and have to rely on direct snap.

i normal highlight the HB....put my DE in contain....blitz a LB and then user a Safety to clean up. no worries!

i just control the linebacker and let my stick skillz do the rest lol

I wish I saw this yesterday.. I was playing a guy that came out in goalline with steve smith at RB then he audibled to HBDS and that is the only way he scored.. If i clogged the middle then he hit the outside, if I tried to stop it outside then he ran it up the gut.. but i ended up winning.. thanks, this info should be helpful

i use 46 bear engage 8. have the line be fliped so u got the line on the side it is gonna be direct snapped. then shift lb too the side the rb is on. then spotlight. cj ill try what u said cuz it stops the hb direct nap, but is burned by everything else

if you do the engage 8....your jsut setting yourself up big threw the air..so you have to be careful..and thanks for the tip..it will help

It's not noobish to use that play considering that the game is garbage when it comes to dictating holding and pass interference. Seriously they call roughing the passer more than pass interference in this game it's a real joke. I run the ball and play defense and put up 30-50 pts a game and for people that are inexperienced passers plays like this level the playing field. And it keeps the other guy from nano blitzing all game very fair in my opinion.

thanks bro
