Overview: The nickel 2-4-5 double A gap is a very popular defense among NFL teams because of the illusion of pressure coming up the middle, and it’s no different in Madden 17.
This setup goes through how to quickly send 5 guys to get guaranteed pressure off the right edge. This play is best for 3rd and long situations where your opponent has to send 5 guys on routes.
