Madden 15 Edge Heat: 3-4 Bear – Pinch Dog 3

Bringing pressure out of the 3-4 defense is very hard to do in Madden 15.  SnA Exclusive found a few fairly simply ways to get edge heat out of the 3-4 Bear formation.

Overview: Getting pressure from the 3-4 is something that hasn’t really been in Madden for the past 2 years. However, with the addition of the 3-4 Bear, if you have a 3-4 base you can now bring pressure from the 3-4 formations using this setup, which is very versatile and very easy and doesn’t require more than 4 people sometimes to get pressure, depending on what you want to do
