3-4 Under

Playbook: Kansas City Chiefs

Formation: 3-4 Under

Play: Cover 1 Hole

Setup:

1. Press your coverage (Y/Triangle + down on the left stick)
2. Pinch your defensive line (left on the D-pad + down on the left stick)
3. Slant inside on your defensive line (left on the D-pad + down on the right stick)
4. QB contain (RB/R1 twice)
5. Zone the blitzing outside linebacker (pick any zone)
6. User the free safety and put yourself on a blitz angle
7. Stand about 5 yards directly behind the defensive tackle and let the CPU take a few steps towards the line of scrimmage before dropping back into coverage

Overview: This 3-man blitz comes in very quickly against the majority of Shotgun passing plays. The coverage adjustments do not matter for this blitz as long as the 3 interior defensive linemen are blitzing and on a QB contain.

Playbook: Kansas City Chiefs

Formation: 3-4 Under

Play: Tampa 2

Setup:

1. Base Align
2. Pinch your defensive line and crash them down
3. QB Contain
4. Put your OLB on the left into a zone
5. Put your MLB on the right into a QB Spy
6. (Optional) Adjust the coverage behind the blitz

Overview: This play can often bring fast pressure while only rushing 3 people. Even if the pressure doesn’t get home, you still have a lot of guys in coverage.

Playbook: Kansas City Chiefs

Formation: 3-4 Under

Play: Cover 3 Sky

Setup:

1. Base Align
2. Pinch your defensive line and crash them down
3. QB Contain
4. Put your OLB on the left into a zone
5. Put your MLB on the right into a QB Spy
6. Put your safety who was in purple zone into a deep half

Overview: This is my favorite zone coverage play from this formation since it is hard to bomb this play deep for a 1 play touchdown when you make these adjustments. You are rushing 3 and you will often get 1 guy free.

Playbook: Kansas City Chiefs

Formation: 3-4 Under

Play: Cover 4 Quarters

Setup:

1. Base Align
2. Pinch your defensive line and crash them down
3. QB Contain
4. Put your OLB on the left into a zone
5. Put your MLB on the right into a QB Spy

Overview: This variation is one you want to mix in every now and then to keep your opponent guessing which coverage you have behind the pressure. Cover 4 quarters is somewhat of a Zone/Man hybrid defense and it can confuse your opponent just enough for the pressure to get there.
