 You too, man. What's up? I'm back with a crazy video. Not really crazy. I just really this has been on my chest for a while It's definitely something I want to talk about and help all you guys get better at man And that's the you know the meta defenses people like to see say and pretty much everybody's running it from week And lead the solos to the top competitive players in the world. We just saw the Arizona club series I know T Davis was running it I know a little Burke was running it and I believe Trey was running came back was the only one that wasn't running through through five I and Honestly to me right now It's one of the best defenses in the game and it's pretty much but pretty much what everybody's running And I know you guys have ran into this a lot And we saw all over the weekend, you know guys that that are in the club series that made the live event that Obviously prepared a lot for Madden, you know, and they've sat in lab and lab and it still works on everybody You know no matter how many people we ID what we slide how many people we block that looper still comes in or the D Tackle still gets a gap So it's really tough to play against man and to me personally I mean there's a couple things I want to help you guys get better at you know Playing against it because I know you're facing it a lot. We all want those weekend league rewards We all want to beat everybody that runs this defense and I know a lot of you guys I mean Complain and you know say it's cheesy or it's the glitch play or it's defense and I want you guys to like Remove that thought process remove that negativity in your mind and really understand how to attack this defense now I'm sitting here as I'm going to tell you I'm one of the best man players in the world and I still get screamed at and get locked up from time to time with through three five I especially against great defensive players that use the defense Now against the weekend league champion or regular guy They're gonna run this defense is not gonna be as effective as somebody that's great at man We'll run this defense a great defensive player But it really is tough to play against and I want you guys to really understand how to attack it They don't understand how the defense works. I mean sometimes when you run a defense a lot You understand where the holes are you understand where it's kind of weak And I will tell you guys pretty much or help you guys break it down. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna tell you how to block it I'm not gonna tell you what routes to run if you want to check out stuff like that You can hit below Madden turf you can check out my offensive e-book and you also watch me play live on twitch I mean I play against this defense a lot I've been pretty good against it my entire offense this year going into the year was pretty much to play against this Cover three pressure type of defense get rid of the ball really quickly It's something that we had to do a lot last year and it's pretty astounding to me that the same defense That was dominant last year is the best defense in the game again this year Pretty wild that you know, we still can't block this loop consistently We know exactly what guys want to loop in we know exactly the setup and we still can't block it It's frustrating and I know you guys are frustrated because I'm frustrated You know and so I know if the defense frustrates me It's going to get under your skin And I don't want you guys to just give up and I don't want you guys have a negative attitude I want you guys to understand Pretty much what I think going into the play defensively I think I think you guys got to understand how to attack it understand where the weaknesses are You know try to find a hole You know try to find where to throw the ball and where to attack because that obviously you're gonna have to pass against it No matter how good they make the run I've always said no matter how good they make the run You're gonna have to make two or three plays a game in a passing game and that's something I'm gonna show you guys kind of what I think Going into each passing play against it. I'm not gonna show you specific plays But I'll show you what I think going into defense against or going offense against 3 3 5 odd. So let's take a look This is the setup this is 3 3 5 odd flipped anybody does that good at this game right now is gonna run 3 3 5 odd flipped I Wish I could tell you why I don't really know I think I don't really know but odd flipped is kind of Kind of been the meta especially since towards the end of last year I know something kid ran a lot especially to win the man championship or the ultimate league whatever We call that but I know he ran through through for odd odd flipped It definitely was a defense that came on a scene really quick again this year I know Joe Rice ran a lot in the leaderboards and it was definitely something you needed to play against early You know you need to play against and get reps against it because the first time it hits you It's pretty serious Now the one thing about 3 3 5 odd and I'll show you in this and this That was just I just a graphic. I'm going over pretty much is that this year This linebacker here this guy right here He's pretty he's a D lineman. Now. I know he's in between. I mean he's in between a D lineman and he's in between Linebacker, but he's that he is a linebacker, but his adjustments are on the D line So when you crash your D line, you're gonna crash this guy And so what that does is that obviously most people want to crash your D line other crash it up crash it left crash it Right and so what that instantly does is that puts that guy in a blitzing angle and no longer has him in a flat zone As you see what he's originally is he's in a flat zone in the scene flat here or a hard flat cloud Whatever it may be. So when they crash their line, it's gonna make him crash So when the first thing you got to realize is when you're facing that is that that guy right there He's gonna be in a crashing. He's gonna be blitzing. That's pretty much what this defense is It's pretty much these four down line man one two three four and then this guy obviously is The looper right here. He wants to come in this this a gap Confuse this guard and this the center right here and go ahead and come through the a gap Now what a pro player will do it'll make this symmetrical and bring this nickel corner over here So now you have dual edge kind of a threatening dual edge So you can mix up your coverages and have this looper in here But essentially what we need to remember is that this guy is a D line and he's gonna be crashing So against most guys you play online That's your four-man rush. Boom. This is your this is your fifth Hopefully you're running back will pick this guy up. I wish I could tell you guys I know how to pick these guys up But even after thousands of thousands snaps against his defense, he still comes and gets me from time to time I'm starting to worry about think that if my ringbacks on this side I'll be better because he does loop through this a gap But like I said, I don't know the answer for that for sure So knowing that these five guys are rushing. This is how I pretty much want to attack this What we want to do is kind of erase these five guys because these five guys Will what we call it they will rush the quarterback So now when you drop back to attack you kind of eliminate these five guys from your passing from your reads These five guys are going so now we only have to read Pretty much. We only have to read the Five outside guys in the nickel back and the one user. So you got one two You're gonna have a corner out here other safety in a corner out here Now this is a cover three shell meaning, you know, this guy goes back here This guy goes back here. This guy goes back here. Boom. And this guy has the flat Over there. This guy is in a yellow zone But most people will put him in a flat and then have the entire middle of the field by themselves Now that's stressful even for a great player I'll take it. We'll zoom it out here and we'll go ahead and look at this Now like I said most of the time this guy will be blitzing Because he is a D lineman. He isn't a blitzing. He will blitz when they crash their line So you'll have a weakness over here because this guy will be blitzing now if they don't they don't you have to That's just something you have to read after the snap. But what I love to do is one Let's just put it this way chat or I say chat. That's how you know I stream too much But my point is here is that this is a corner, right? This is a corner. You're Darius slay You're Dion Sanders champ Bailey, whoever they may have is a corner So obviously he's gonna have 90 zone 95 zone 90 speed. He's gonna be pretty good, right? So naturally when I'm dropping back to pass, I want to avoid this guy I want to attack this big fat linebacker either. He's blitzing or he's in a zone like I told you most of time He's gonna be blitzing so boom instead of having to attack three people now. I'm over here I'm just attacking to the safety in the corner He's either in a flat zone. He's gonna be in a deep blue or he's gonna be in a flat zone So pretty much I want to attack this side whether it be whatever route combination I want to use I've posted route combinations below in my YouTube You can check out the other videos what route combinations I like to use to attack the sideline because we just talked about how this guy the user is gonna be stressed in the Middle of the field So he's not gonna run out here and cover this what you're doing is you're attacking the side of the field You know where they blitz from or because the user is not going to be there because he has so much stress in the middle Of field because he's blitzing you So we'll go back to this view Like I said You're gonna have I got pretty much this safety in this corner to attack on the left side of the field This guy's gonna blitz and he's gonna have the whole middle of the field So if they put him in a flat zone, you obviously have a big hole right here Or you can attack with I've a you know a swing route to the running back and a curl To alshan jeffery to stop right here. So if he's in a hard flat, you'll have to curl if he's in a cloud flat You'll have to run it back swing route when I attack 3 3 5 odd 95% of my passes will be to the sideline because one I know where their user is and I don't want to throw near him The guy with the circle under his feet I want to keep the ball as far away as possible from this guy So against 3 3 5 odd. I know 90% of my passes will be to the outside So like I said, I like to attack the linebacker DN side Whatever this may be more than I like to attack the nickel backside because naturally there's less coverage in this player than there is in this player So so in a swift force my my hole I'd say all this to say I like to keep the ball to the sideline We know this is a covered three shell We know that one of these two guys has flat responsibility Or this guy has flat responsibility Whatever side you're looking at either the linebacker to safety or decide just the nickel back will have the flat responsibility Now obviously guys You can change all the coverage of this defense You can quickly change this into a cover two if you wanted to You can change it into a cover four. It can be man coverage It can be a bunch of different things and that's why I said this defense is really good against with somebody that was really good defensive ability And a really smart man player But the people you guys are playing against in weekend league your friends your buddies Whoever you're playing for five dollars on players lounge They might not necessarily be joke or problem or skimbo on defense They won't be so what you're going to get is a lot of this basic cover three look They're going to rely on this loop They're gonna rely on this pressure between the center and the linebacker and they're not going to stress too much about their coverage Now if they start switching up your coverage is you got to attack coverage is a little bit differently But me for myself personally, I like to attack the sidelines either like I said either a flat and a curl Or you can put a flat and you can put a slant back this way Now a lot of people put the flat because what the flat's going to do is take this the flat zone All the way out of the picture and give a big hole right here to Mike Wallace as you see here running in here on a Slant where maybe I like to throw the ball outside the numbers on this defense now you can see my e-book New Orleans Saints, that's what I like to do I like to put girly a tight end attack the silent attack the silent attack the sideline Make them stress and really just not be able to just sit in the middle of the field I think the worst thing you can do against his defense is pass in the middle field because not only is that where the user is This might be where this three rec is and I can't tell you one man player in the world That actually knows what a three rec does because I don't he does whatever he wants especially if he's a great player So I want to avoid the user. I want to avoid it through back I want to attack this linebacker or this nickel DB preferably this linebacker because he's either blitzing and leaving a huge void over here Or he's a bad linebacker and flat zone responsibility one or the other I mean these are just a couple things that I look at before the snap won't get through five odd Hmm and they're definitely things that you guys need to work on to play against this defense It sucks that we can't just ID this guy and block him every time I mean it furiates me that that you know, we got this ID to my feature I feel like if I ID this guy he should be eliminated Now I wish it was something where You know, he brings this other linebacker down and then we're we're all somewhere in a guessing game Maybe you use or this guy and I got to guess which one you're gonna blitz But it's so obvious that the same guy loops every time we can't pick them up consistently It's super frustrating. I mean I don't know what the ID to my feature does when you when you ID this linebacker to me, it's inconsistent and it's frustrating But but if you want to play man at this level and you want to play man You want to get better at the game you have to learn to attack this defense I mean, it's pretty much what I you know Designed my entire offense around like I said You can check that on man turf and find the different routes that I use to really attack the sideline And there's also YouTube videos below in my catalog for sideline attacking routes because I don't want to be near This through wreck and I don't want to be near this linebacker. So that's pretty much just things I hope you guys use this video. Well, I hope you guys enjoy it. There's anything else. You're really struggling with 335 odd Please comment below see what what gives you trouble the last thing I'll tell you guys And pisses me off man because people talk about running is 335 odd. I'm not gonna tell you this successful I'm not gonna tell you how what run works, but let's put it this way. This linebacker is going to the right The last thing you want to do is run to the right Because is putting another person on that side of the field if you're going to run the ball against 335 odd Please run to the vacated a gap that this linebacker is popping out of that would help you a lot more than run into the right That's my only advice. I'll give the run. I'm not a runner. I don't know the answers for that but that's just simple numbers everything but You know, I'm not gonna say the run kills this because it doesn't but like I said If there's anything else you're struggling with this defense, please comment below man I'll try to help you guys as much as I can because I don't want one defense to be this dominant Especially with what amateur people using it. I understand if a great defensive player is using it But I don't want amateur players getting stops on you guys just using this basic defense
