In this Madden 15 tip video RouteCombo takes a look at a blitz from Nickel Normal. The blitz we will be looking at is Slant Show 2. This was the first blitz that we found this year, and even this late in the year, we still feel it is the best setup for this play. We will be rushing four players, dropping seven into coverage, and we still will get amazing heat on the QB.
Adjustments:
- Base Align
- Pinch DL and Crash Down
- Slide the Blitzing DB Down to the Line (See Video)
- QB Contain
- Zone Blitzing MLB
We suggest usering the MLB that you hot route into a zone. This is primarily because of time constraints on the setup, but also because we then have the option to take away the left seam for a quick pass.
ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS
The major hole in this blitz is the flats. That is fairly normal for a zone blitz, and many times your opponent won’t be patient enough to really make you pay in the flats. If they are however, the simplest adjustment will be to change the DE’s assignment on the right of screen into a flat zone and then user patrol the left flat.
IS THIS SETUP UNIVERSAL?
This setup is universal to all stock coverage plays. The only plays that it really doesn’t work from is the sugar blitz plays. This is because more often than not you cannot get the blitzing DB on the contain assignment correctly.
