Madden 16: Big Nickel Strong – Zone Blitz Show 6

It is extremely important to be able to bring pressure from the right side of the field, left side of the field, and both at the same time.  In today’s free Madden 16 tip video, SnA Exclusive goes over a way you can use to do all of those things.

You can view the full breakdown below.

Playbook: Multiple D

Formation: Big Nickel Strong

Play: Zone Blitz Show 6

Setup For Left Edge Pressure:

1. Base align
2. (Optional) Shift your linebackers right
3. (Optional) Crash DL down
4. (Optional) QB contain
5. Fake Blitz a linebacker over the center

Setup For Right Edge Pressure/Double Edge Pressure

1. Base align
2. Shift your linebackers right
3. Blitz the LOLB (on the right side of the screen)
4. Crash DL down
5. (Optional) QB contain
6. fake blitz the ROLB over the center

Overview: This is a concept that’s been around in Madden for years now but still works in Madden 16. You’re creating a symmetrical look that can bring pressure from whatever side you want, or both sides.

Use this blitz when the opposing team is blocking a RB and trying to take shots down the field on you.

The screenshots below show how to bring pressure from the left side of the screen using the first setup without the optional steps.

This is how the play looks pre-snap.

You can see pretty much right away that our blitzing cornerback is coming in unblocked.

The play ends in a sack and an 8 yard loss for the offense.
