Madden 17 Blitz: 4-4 Split - Cover 2 Invert

Madden School AppPlaybook: Buffalo Bills

Formation: 4-4 Split

Play: Cover 2 Invert

Setup:

  1. Base align
  2. Spread the linebackers
  3. Blitz the outside linebacker on the right side of the screen

Overview: This play brings great pressure off of the right edge so it works well as a pass defense.  It is a Cover 2 Invert defense, so it also can stop (or slow down) the most powerful runs in Madden 17.  The zones can be changed up based on the routes that your opponent is using. If you are able to take away your opponent’s first read, you will usually get a sack.
