You can see from the intial setup that this play looks like any 1-5-5 play.  There is nothing to indicate that we are bringing heat right up the middle.

Our middle linebackers gets into the backfield untouched and has a clear shot at the quarterback.

We get a quick sack for an 8 yard loss before out opponent can even react.

It is important to mix this play in with other plays out of the 1-5-5.  If you try running this play over and over again, your opponent will crush this defense.  The nickel 1-5-5 over storm brave blitz is extremely effective when mixed in with other coverage plays.

How do you create your own playbook? The custom playbook feature is confusing to me.

If you add one small adjustment you can get more consistent pressure with this. Crash your Dline (NT) left or right that will clear the way for the blitz right up the gut. If you crash him up middle the outside pass rusher will come free.
