I don’t get that Cover 1 Robber Press! The RB has the right side all by himself. Stevie Wonder can see that and make a throw to the RB for major yards!

Ok so ive compiled an online record of 42-21 online (not bad) im a madden vet (since 03) so i know the ends and outs but I cannot stop a SOUL on defense even with the ebook i cannot find that mix of plays to keep the opponent guessing while still stopping the run and getting good pressure.. More man more zone less blitz?? even with this e-book im giving up 21-35 points a game .

I’m loving the Defense lockdown ebook, thank you. Dominating in solo challeges.
