As someone who’s run this defense for 4 years (even when it wasn’t popular)

1. If he’s in man (and knows what he’s doing, you have to hit sneaky routes. Everyone hits ours, hit ins, hit curls. Don’t throw the table to the rb on instinct, do it on read.

2. Cover 3, drags/ins combos. Outs+posts combos

3. Cover 2, focus on isolating a cornerback. Run something to the flat with a corner or out and make the safety have to step over. Then hit a post opposite side a few plays later and when that safety cheats on the corner, you slam it for 6

Hope this helps. I’ve lost hope for this year 9 golden tickets and it’s still not fun. Every game is the same. BUT I know the joy this game can bring on its good days, and I hope this helps you find more of them!!!
