Check it out below!
Playbook: Green Bay Packers (and many others)
Formation: 3-4 Odd
Play: Cross 3 Fire
Setup:
- Base align (Y/Triangle + RIGHT on the LEFT stick)
- Pinch defensive line (LEFT on the D-pad + DOWN on the LEFT stick)
- Slant defensive line outside (LEFT on the D-pad + UP on the RIGHT stick)
- QB contain (RB/R1 twice)
Optional Coverage Adjustments:
- Zone the left of screen MLB (MLB further away from the line of scrimmage)
- Shade overtop (Y/Triangle + UP on the RIGHT stick)
- User the Strong Safety in the yellow zone
Overview: This blitz can work against against 5, 6, or 7 blockers, but it will work the best when your opponent only has 5 guys blocking. You will want your fastest defensive linemen at RE, DT, and LE, as they are the players coming in free from the blitz.
