 You too, what's the word? What's the vibes? How are you guys doing? First of all before I start I'd like to apologize for you guys It's probably been a couple weeks since I dropped to be friending the bots But as you can see I'm at a different spot Because of quarantine because of you know, everything's shutting down and that's pretty much being locked in our houses for the foreseeable future I did move and stay with my girlfriend who lives in Columbus, Ohio For the for the entire quarantine. I'll be back home. Maybe when it ends We'll see who knows when it's gonna end. I hope all you guys are staying so safe. Hope all you guys are enjoying gaming I have been gaming my ass off So it's been it hasn't been normal, but it's been normal for me if you understand this whole quarantine thing But I truly believe you guys are safe. Thank you guys for all your support on to be friending the bots series So that's pretty much the reason I haven't really had time to sit down and record one of these But I did notice all you guys vote on my last poll I had on Twitter Man if you want to you know have your input on what the next be front in a box series is Make sure you follow that Twitter below man And that's where I'm gonna put a little poll out. What do you guys want to see next? What do you guys need help with and? Essentially that's gonna be the way for you guys to really talk about what you need help with also You can also comment below because I read the hell out of those men But one of the number one things that I hear about are help us with past protection help us with past protection So for me, that's fine. I'll help you guys I will start by saying this one if you don't want to use a mobile quarterback leave the video now the game The game is already hard enough to pass about against these blitz seven and blitz eight people For me you need a mobile quarterback It just makes a bigger weapon because one you need to get away from all those people in the box You know when they blitz you there's eight nine ten people in the box, right? And you need to get away from those the further you can get away from it that mess of your bodies The bigger play you can get that's pretty much my philosophy When facing these giant, you know people just loading a box blitzing the hell out of me is can I get away from that? And what can I do to get out of the pocket? So a mobile quarterback helps that It's much more dangerous blitzing six and seven people against a quarterback that can not only pass for a touchdown But can get escape contain and get out of the pocket So I let's just go into just and I mean There's so many different things you can do To really pass protect and max protect and and send out five every once in a while But we're gonna focus on just slide protecting and what does it do? I will tell you contains are very very very good in this game. They are amazing But the running back kills them That's what you have to realize when you're past protecting your running back is your best blocker It's hard to think that it's hard to realize that but in Madden 20 You're running back 1 million percent is your best blocker and what we're gonna want to do is trigger some cut block animations Cuz not only will it take away one of the best pass rushers it will take away to contain So that's our goal when facing these blitzes is take away the contain we want to get out of the pocket So I said a mobile quarterback is ideal now I'll tell you guys the reason why I've always had a mobile quarterback in Madden This is every Madden when people had Aaron Rodgers I want to belt with Randall Cunningham have I have had Vic since Madden 18 1920 Michael Vic has been my quarterback since his cards been in the game because when you step back and think about it Every quarterback and past there's really no difference between Tom Brady passing and Michael Vic passing now That's if you know something goes all stupid. It's Madden sucks man. So you're right I mean I there's no way to argue that that you know Tom Brady Should be able to pass the same as Michael Vic now. They have made tons of strides In making Tom Brady a little bit better with all these different abilities without it without abilities I mean those quarterbacks will be pointless, you know with the hot rock master protective They're actually they're kind of usable now So the abilities definitely bring those guys back into the realm of relevancy But there's still a mobile quarterback can still pass the ball can still do the ball 80 yards can still do Ball on a dime to a slant route if you need it, but they can run too So why not have you know the person that can do it all and that's why I've always had a mobile quarterback And you guys should too have a mobile quarterback Vick is the best in the game for me If you don't like a left-hand quarterback my homes is really good. I don't like Lamar Jackson I think his wind-up is nasty. I think he throws a nasty football. He is he is really fast And if you're playing on Rays, he's I mean my home's is an option, but It's crazy to say this after playing mutt Mahomes is kind of slow, but not on Rays or anything, but let's get into the game I'm like I said, I'll tell you guys this. Um, I I need a mobile quarterback. I do and what we're gonna work against is the pinch buck The pinch buck 3-4. I I mean I it's something I put on the map the first week of Madden pinch buck blitz everybody So For me, I know how to play against it. I know how to run it and this is the key to me I use New Orleans playbook. That's what we're in now is New Orleans. Um, the key to me is You have to realize and this is like this might some of the tips I'll give you guys here pause might be passed to be friending by stage It might be a little bit too much But one thing you want to do is man You want to make these adjustments as soon as possible because you know, you play the guys that wanted one They want to bring everybody in the box and then they want to bring their safety down They didn't want to bring the other safety down. They might use a rush you they might blitz eight They might blitz nine. I want to snap the ball. I Want to get him caught on somebody he doesn't want to be on so for me the number one thing I look for and why I like this gun Why trio what why all trio in New Orleans is because it has a lot of plays With the tight end blocking already So if you can find plays with the tight end blocking or the running back blocking it will save you a hot route And that's huge when you go up to the line of scrimmage You want to be there was the least amount of adjustments as possible and I'll show you This is my favorite play to run against these blitz things. It's Saints deep out and we'll go ahead We'll put hollywood brown. He is on the right side on this deep post Now everything that I do here is pretty much hopefully we can respot the ball here Everything I do here is is really much you can use it in any single Any single play any formation But and one thing I did not forgot to talk to you guys about The reason why bunch is good The reason why why trips is good is because boom you have a block on both sides so you can max protect fairly quickly Now one thing you can do Offence defense first offense. Okay now defense. This is the look you'll get from these guys, right? Boom something like that blitz everybody Bring this guy here, right and obviously contain Something like that right even if they might even prove this guy here. So we're blitzing seven people Right now seven people Now like I said, if you have a Titan on one side, you have a running back on the other side Now if you guys have been playing this game, you haven't played it for eight ten months now You know the Titan will glitch and not really block this guy. So Can't really rely on just past protecting and the reason why obviously the max protect idea is cool Because you'll have you'll have seven on seven right here and you'll be able to do it But one you had to deal with one the quarterback release being slow pressure and accurate I'm the running back the quarterback is not an option to run the ball So essentially what I do is you have to realize your slide protection kind of controls your running back More than your offensive line You have it's it's a crazy thing but think it about it that way my slide protection Controls my running back. I the biggest thing I have to do is understand where my running backs gonna go here So first thing we want to do obviously is we're going to block mark angri. Now because this play already Has Boyle blocking. I don't have to block him now delay routes most of the time for running backs I wouldn't tell you rely on them, but For the Titan he's gonna block that guy right ahead of him So what I want to do for slide protection against these blitzes is I want to slide away from the running back Meaning if the running backs on the left, I want to slide to the right. So that's the first thing I'll do slide right So we got that So now we'll block the running back and what will happen is the running back will then step up and take the outside linebacker And I don't want to wait in the pocket if the running back blocks that's contained. He won't contain Boom, he'll cut block now. I'm out of the pocket now I can do I can run for a touchdown or Lamar Jackson smokes me now if you're in But you have roaming dead. I you have dashing dead. I that's a touchdown So that is the key Pretty much for me to get out of the pocket and make these plays if you guys watch my Twitter You guys watch me play the big touchdowns down the field because You block that contain once you block that contain boom, you're out of there same thing slide right Block the running back and what he'll do is he will cut block that contain You know, let me blitz all these guys contain boom Now if I didn't do that, I think I do this this play to slide the running back He'll block the contain and we're out of there even but look even if I don't want to pass Look how much space I had to run with Lamar Jackson Now I wouldn't recommend the juke them with the quarterback But that's what I mean about a modal quarterback get outside all these 14 bodies in here If there's 14 bodies in here Mathematically, there can't be that many bodies in the rest of the field You get the speed at quarterback to speed it while receiver to attack the fact they only have four or five You know four or five DB or other defenders on the entire field Once you get that going you're good, you know, and that's why I like a mobile quarterback You know, so that's the way I like to let's see what it what happens if I don't contain there If I don't block those guys slide like that look my tight end goes here And I can't and then I don't block the container my running back steps up Gets the egg block and I can't block the contain and that's what I mean about contains are really really really good in this game You know, so if I don't do that slide protection slide right to make my running back go to the left Then I get contained and like I said you cannot but for some reason three four I just glitches through a tight end every time You know, that's that's what happens Now obviously Now let's just take it a step further. Now three four odd You can do this against with any, you know Multiple with a tight end running back on both on opposite sides and do that now you guys know somebody will do this, right? They'll do this and they'll use or this guy Like that right the same thing works. The only difference here is that yes that that McCordy's gonna come free. I have to run away from him See but the contain takes a while. I'm still off to the racism because I have a faster quarterback You know now Okay, help you guys out again Now a smarter player will do this. Okay. You're gonna cut block and roll out that way boom The way to roll out this way Little bit tougher right right here. We go What you want to do here on this way is you want to double team this outside linebacker? So now even though there's eight blitzing and I'm using two blockers for one person So essentially I have a there's gonna be two people coming free right now But because I double team this outside linebacker. I know I'm gonna block the hell out of him So it's just gonna be the Lamar Jackson show, right? We're just getting out of there We're picking up 10 15 yards or passing, you know, and and there's a bunch of different ways You can go ahead and set up different pass plays behind that but more more info on that You know man turf comm you check out all the e-books for things like that But that's just the way that I like to block these 7-7-8 blitzes men if you can't block that you're not gonna be able to pass in man 20 that has been the meta defense the entire year and One thing you have to realize when you go into these mobile quarterback must right. It's a must When you see how devastating it is to get outside the pocket, right? To your slide protection kind of controls your running back I'll take it even further here as we run it again Right, let's try this evening You know, I don't know if it's gonna work with a max protect set Here, but let's try to slide left Towards the running back side. I told you guys always slide away from a run back Let's see what he does if I slide left I'm gonna say in this set because I have a delay on the tight end I think the running best want to step up in the pocket, but we'll see where he goes No, I still went to the right side. See that's what I mean The run the slide control as we see mark, he's brown That's why I love that plate at deep post route get man up cover two just kills it but Slide protection controls your running back more than your offensive line Remember that remember that in the game. Remember what it does. This actually blocked is better better than I thought it would really And once again if I wanted to roll out I can roll out so you see the difference just in this play alone You see the difference on how contains block my left tackle that contain is I'm not going anywhere to the left side The right side. I am running out of there That is the difference in the game as you see I'm get look at look at the space I have after that that is a eight a seven man blitz We cut block it boom Oh, actually, I think I was on one of the blitzers. Oh no, I was on a safety Seven man blitz picked up effortlessly and I can run out Contain running back will go to contain slide protection controls where you're running back goes Mobile quarterback boom now designing the plays behind that to not to give you an option to pass And run that's the the next level into beating the blitz, you know It's easy. I'm not gonna say it's easy to get out the pocket But you know against the basic blitz of the basic blitz seven and eight It's pretty easy to get out the pocket but once you get into more people more advanced gets a little bit more tough, but It's easy to get out the pocket. You got taught you guys how to get out of pocket Design and plays behind a little tougher. So this is just the basic pass protection I said your slide protection Controls you're running back more than your offensive line. Just remember that I don't know if you guys have realized that going through your process of trying to pick up blitzes But that is the number one key you guys want to remember. So this is befriending the bots. This was basic pass protection. So um, I Appreciate you guys said it.
