Setup:

  1. Base Align
  2. Shade coverage underneath
  3. Crash your defensive line out
  4. (Optional) Shift your defensive line to the left or right

Overview: This is a great base defense that slows down the run and limits big plays in the passing game.  It is a great “bend but don’t break” defense.

  1. How do you shade coverage underneath

    1. Y/triangle + down on the right stick

  2. My opponents are killing me with the Singleback “Bench” play, I tried to use the Cover 4 Drop Show 2 defense but my opponents receiver was wide open every down. I couldn’t stop him. Any suggestions or tips?

    1. The Bench play is designed to create a 2v1 with the out route and the corner route against just 1 defender in a light blue or purple zone.

      The best way to stop it is to have a hard flat and a cloud flat on the same side but that can be a bit advanced.

  3. can we get the cross 3 fire blitz out of this formation?
