Madden 16 3-4 Odd Cover 3 Sky Blitz

In today’s Madden 16 tip, we are going over a blitz that can be used to get pressure from either the left or right side of the screen.

It does take a little bit of practice and is somewhat advanced, but once you get it down, it will cause your opponents nightmares.

You can check out the full setup below.

Summary: This blitz scheme will give you 3 variations of blitzes from the same play and look, and is designed to beat a base 5 man pass protection and still have solid coverage behind it.

It’s always important to have a defensive scheme that can send pressure from both sides of the field from the same look, and we accomplish that with this play.  This same scheme can be used to also stop the run as well.
