 Alright boys. This is the ultimate kickoff tournament single elimination. I was ranked around 50 So I had to play on Sunday To get to the final for 64 of the entire world Madden tournament for the ultimate kickoff The first tournament of the year always the best I always feel like I'm really tough in the first tournament of the year Because now a lot of people know the meta yet. They got to learn it I'm really good at making the meta or coming up with my own meta or being ahead of the curve So to speak so love the first tournament. This was round one against Devo What I really want to ask you guys is How do you want to watch these tournament games? Breakdowns like this or you want me to edit them like a normal video in 10 minutes I want to alternate see which one you guys like more Because we can get really sweaty in this game right now for sure But this is it. I've showed you guys my team on a couple videos, man I have Obviously the Patriots and the Seahawks team team Warren Moon Devin Hester all the boys you guys know But we're starting off this one here. This is a I said we're playing Devo Davo PlayStation so not somebody I know anything obviously at this point a lot of people know what I do and they know what I'm Going to do so but he gets the ball first. It feels good if you guys are on Madden turf I had to do some subs because of Patriots and Seahawks if you guys are a Madden turf premium memberships Know that I'm going to run nickel blitz zero. I'm going to blitz here He had me a little shambles the first place. So I'm stuck in cover four really tough right here just I want to say unprepared but Just did a brain fart the first play didn't flip my defense like I wanted to audible to cover four get dotted for a Huge play so he's crossed the 50 already first drive now. This is what I want to do I want to blitz. I want to I want to guard the running back myself And you see this normally stops the run pretty well the linebacker will shoot in there that looked like base I guess But what I want is I want to guard the running back and everybody's pretty much manned up Right here. You see everybody's manned up. Everybody's looking good He tries to go up top here pick but I went for a pick there Sherman did not get it I thought Sherman could get the pick there Maybe I could swap maybe I couldn't but I liked my chances there Getting a pick cuz he covered him so well right there and this guy has Justin Jefferson As he's going for the corner out with Jefferson misses that that's tough. That's tough Mrs. That Bryce young misses the corner out probably had Jefferson there I have Sherman and Ed Reed at safety. They're playing man coverage for me He's going to audible to bunch here, right and now I have the tight end I just manned up the running back So I have the tight end I'm guarding a flat route and he's on a wheel route good play I can't even like that's my responsibility that guy. I'm blitzing six people. If you guys see I think we get home. I Mean, yeah, Javon curse Javon curse took took a wide angle But we got home and I played it like a flat route cuz it was a flat route and that's what happens when you play a flat Route a wheel route like a flat route give up a touchdown. So that was a pretty easy drive. I can't lie Sherman got beat. I had the one play where I had to run cover for gave up a corner out Sherman got beat. That's tough. So That that's gonna be It's gonna be tough to guard trips tight and a lot of people are in space and here We go for a slam early and our boy smokes it our boy Warren moon. So everybody loves Warren moon He is the best in the game, but I mean, he's not invincible if that makes sense He's running a dollar a lot of DB fire type of vibes Um, I like to ID the corner on the side of the running back make sure to ring back always blocks that guy You see him go out there and block. Good job. We're able to hit Giusecchi underneath get busy. Giusecchi's a horse We're on a no huddle right here and actually what happens here is one thing we know how long we flip same thing ID And we I mean, this is easy. It's just a flat a corner, but the blitzer if you see what happens like The blitzer bumps into everybody Chad Johnson falls on the ground and we get sacked So we get an early fourth and three. I'm not gonna know how to now He doesn't come out in dollar here, which I'm actually like happy about doesn't come out in dollar He's going to blitz. He's actually gonna run match coverage and They match the wrong way touchdown Devin Hester up top. You see again, he goes for a match coverage. It was the same play You know we won corner out flat route, but this guy matches here. They expect this guy to guard the streak and Touchdown Devin Hester. So we tied a game up. I'm gonna get back on defense boys So boom, like I said, this is a big tournament. This is a belt tournament. I get it done He audibles back to bunch. I'm not gonna fall for their wheel route again. I cross maybe you guys see that This is called scissor adjustment for bunch It's one of the best adjustments for bunch you could have because there's only two receivers over here And it's hard for that safety to guard the running back But if you man up this corner on the running back, we call it scissors Cuz your scissor, you know The safety does a good job on this guy and the corner can jump the running back quick pass people like to do So that's why people do that adjustment for the most part. So I did that there once again I got the tight end on this play. We're sending six people. I got tight end. I'm not getting beat by the wheel route again See Javon curse gets that loop off the edge. So I'm a big believer in you listen You fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, you know, you got your one touchdown with that wheel route Here we go motions out here. This should be an easy adjustment. I'll just man up. Yep We got everybody manned up. Well, and we get a screamer up the middle blunt with the big sack That's why I always like the blitz extra people, you know, I like to keep this one I like to loop but then I also like this other linebacker blitz in here right through the aga foam big speed up the middle from blunt All right here I like to put this deep blue here because if you guys notice at least twice he's gone to this corner out You know, he'll motion in Marquis Brown to help block And I know this because you see his icon says Brown right here Brown. So that means he's gonna motion him He's gonna motion them in so that's all I stare at I still have the running back But I'm staring and who's the motion and in so I know if he's gonna motion block him My wrist my corner can do a different thing than have to man up because he's gonna block anyway So I try to put him in a deep blue to try to help stop that corner out Now he's gonna run with him. If I was really sweaty, I could touch that corner So he wouldn't run but I think he can guard it. Well, anyway, so he's in the deep blue You see the snap he gets a motion block. I Guess he's not really helping. Maybe I should put him on a 30-yard cloud or something But we get this free pressure Kyle Dugar up the middle I that's what I call him Dugar and we get a big hit right there fourth in 22. He's gonna punt the ball. So that's good Devin Hester is Electric so back to dollar same thing. I like I don't even slide my line Just like I dinged that guy as we see the running back will step out and block him really well Dump the ball off to Medcalf. I want to see Who got just railed on this play pass rush wise Deirdorf, yep, Dan Deirdorf your legend right here He could be a 80 for that type that type of performance honestly, you know But we get a big play to Medcalf next play boots is everybody we go seem that's tough Especially when you have Devin That's one of the downsides of having a Devin Hester is that he's not tall up the middle So like I like that throw but I'd like a you know a big six foot receiver there Could have been a pick honestly second and ten We're gonna run a deep attack here. Love this play Boom, I can't lie. I need Chad to catch that as much stuff as they catch in traffic in this game I thought this was a great read on cover two here You know he takes that route. I take Chad over the middle boom and we got to hold on to that He doesn't have an ability. That's a what is it stone wall? That's what lit up big third and ten here Like I said, we're only it was a tie game We're going for a corner out over the top, but I think he's in spinner man coverage Nope Look at this though So See when this guy goes in like this, it's normally baseline man or spinner or something like this So I would assume that this is man coverage or third and I put Chad Johnson on a curl, right? That's a curl and watch how bad he beats the press I wish I would have had him on a streak right if I put him on a streak It's seven points, but I put him on a curl there Yeah, you see he mans up this guy. They were all man. So I Don't know if I still probably could have doing that curl But I didn't like to do that curl when he's behind him like that like When he's behind like once he beats the press I didn't want to do the curl because I didn't want the DB to do a pick I already just got a stop. I didn't want to throw a curl yet So I tried to wait for him to slow down and maybe throw it here But Vita Vaya got me force me to kick a field goal. I'll take it because like I said, I got a stop I'm cool with taking a field goal man. I like playing trips tight and everybody lines up Well, it's not a lot of stress on the setup You know and here we're gonna get a motion right here But like I said, this this defense does a good job of stopping the run almost on its own So we get them to a second and 12 that time see that's the difference I actually use or touch this guy so he wouldn't run with Marquis Brown here So I low key he's putting a streak still to run off this deep blue So but he's getting hit again warren sap come up with the ball Doesn't come up with the ball. We're third and 12. He's going back to bunch drinking the punch We got everybody manned up. This is like a bunch strong look everybody's down in the box Like we're we're we're sending everybody here. I believe sending the dogs at him Third and 12 we do everybody came home to the quarterback that had no shot absolutely no shot The adjustments everything like that man turf calm I feel like this is the best blitz in the game right now as you can see I mean, he couldn't throw anything right there fourth and 12. He's gonna go for this I like this because if I get a stop, I'm already in fellow range already You know So he's gonna motion over I just assume he's gonna block his running back when he motions over right there Maybe max protect. He did max protect. We go corner. I goes curl. We swatted down with Tariq woolen Knocked the ball out right there So now we gotta score we're only up by three we go for a little sweep action here Franco Harris big eight yard game Love that when the run plays work The run plays here in West Coast really aren't that strong. We get another one. We get a first down This is the part of my game where Everybody is always tough to score down here inside the 15 even in real life once that field gets a little Shorter, you know, it gets a little tougher and here I made a mistake because he's in nickel now So he has a junior say our Walker or something like that And you see what happened when Hester try to try to block Trevon Walker. We lose five yards So that's not what you want to do here in in the red zone So that's almost a waste of a play right there and we can look back at that. He sends five here Hester makes a nice catch right there. So it gives us gets us into like this is a manageable third down here Bunch of different plays I like to go to here, but We're gonna try to go corner route whip route to Giseke here backside in route to Chad Johnson here And we go for the high ball back corner for Hester could have been a pick honestly This is just a tough read and on it when I run this I should definitely put a taller receiver there You know, but I see this guy down here. It's clearly covered too, you know, this is vert hook here This is a deep half You know, I should be able to hit the back of this pylon, you know, if he's gonna guard this flat It's tough to hit levels in end zone, but that's what I saw and like I said, it could have been a pick Maybe it's all a receiver high ball But all in all it was not that good give a play and and right now right now I feel like you know what I'm gonna get this guy bagged up. Let me keep scoring Even if it's not touched now, let me just keep adding to the points holder That's kind of how I feel man because I feel good on defense against trips tight end Once again, we're just straight man coverage here He's gonna try to motion block again. You see I'm once he crosses then I know I gotta man them back up So I man them back up Whip route. Oh good tackle right there my man JC Jackson JC Jackson is a good card What do you go for here? We just puts everybody right here. Jeez. Oh Ed Reid almost got his hands on now if you guys notice I've switched Ed Reid and Sherman Why I like Sherman on the tight ends a little bit more Obviously, he's a bigger body than Ed Reid and if you're getting pits or Giseki or somebody like that You're gonna want a bigger body on those guys. So that's why I like putting every now he flipped now So Ed Reid is on the safety. See now. I feel like he's gonna go for a block I do it again, but this time he actually puts this guy on an out route, which is a good adjustment But we make a tackle here get him to a fourth and five He's one of no huddle so now he's putting that guy on a route when he motions them Which is which is tough, but we can adjust to that as well Fourth down You'll rarely see me on a fourth down where I don't send a lot of people You don't want the game to get down to a broken backyard play or something like that on fourth down as he calls the time out here Fourth and five. This is a big play man. He's already down six points He's gonna flip and flip again, but I'm cool. You know, I'm probably sending the dogs I might put that linebacker in a zone. Oh He motions out the running back here. I'm cool with everything that happens. I think to see up Now this is a play he starts killing me with is this quick out route to Irv Smith, Jr All my budget guys out there will respect a little Irv Smith, Jr. Action As he gets to delay a game that play once again now he goes motion again See that time I put that guy in a cloud, but that little out route is killing me So it's two minute warning So we'll see how we adjust to this little out route here He's gonna motion Brown again. I put that guy in a cloud. He crosses the line. I man him back up See, this is my mistake too though Gotta make a tackle here. Good click on make sure we don't get you just make a tackle Like this is a mistake here. You got to know you got pressure this way So Bryce Young's gonna be running this way. So I should always flow with the quarterback. I took the shorter route But not thinking about where the quarterbacks want to flow when I'm when I'm lurking here So I dropped back to this route Taking he's gonna get rid of the ball, but he's flushed out So I should have flushed with him to the right and take that crosser right there Good throw by Bryce young man made some crazy throws that Bryce young card. Definitely tough here I'm just playing straight run deuce close here. I'm assuming he's gonna try to milk some clock So I'm playing straight run right here And he does run for one yard Here play a little more coverage. He goes to the bunch Gets a delay. He's doing a lot of auto-bullen. So that's tough Back to just what does he do? He scores here? We get good pressure and Richard Sherman gets absolutely left by Irv Smith, Jr. Once again, I mean Bryce young got three bodies around them makes the throw Irv Smith just beat Sherman Touchdown so now because we kick field goals. We're down by one Got to try to respond here. We got to try to respond at least get some points I guess I get the ball at half. So I'll be okay Crossing route has their boom Maybe a timeout here by me. Yep timeout next play. He goes to that DB fire That patented DB fire And we're just gonna seem them up to the left side not seem them up But that whole shot over the cover to in front of the safety boom now. We're in field goal range already I believe what did we do we run the ball here? No, we just go verts again He did the scissor adjustment see that's what I mean That's a tough adjustment if you guys are playing bunch and you're playing defense the scissor adjustment is tough So I'm looking over here. I see this guy shoot down. He shoot over Then I step up looking for here You know all in all is this is good defense like I don't have anywhere to really I maybe be but I don't really like this throw So this is this is good defense on that place. So we're able to we had to call a timeout second and 12 We got one timeout left. We'll hit this slant big play Maybe car last time how we do so 22 seconds. We got no timeouts. We can get tackled We got to spike the ball right away gotta be prepared to spike the ball right away We run up here get down almost the first down a second down We're gonna spike the ball right here and there's six seconds Now there's time for a throw to the end zone there is But honestly, I don't have a good enough play to think that you know, I should try anything So I'm just gonna play it safe. And once again, I mean we've given up two touchdowns, but I feel okay on defense I don't feel the need to really push points or rush points. So we've kicked three field goals So that's tough 16 to 14, but we get the ball So we're feeling good about that Here we can't give up a kickoff. So if you see my user, I am like just if you watch my user on this play This might be soft, but I'm on Thornton. We're just gonna run here. Get back. Go get contained Make sure I don't get blocked. Good job. All right, halftime. I mean, we got a score in the red zone We need sevens defensively How are we gonna adjust to this motion in maybe block maybe going around but all in all, I feel like we're doing okay I feel I feel confident. I feel good right here. He blitzes a lot of people We're gonna hit Giseki underneath. Giseki is actually a monster right now as he's gonna get that first down He's in the 3-3 now, which I'd rather play than dollar because I feel like if you block up I gotta do my running back here. We just get great pass protection here Now he did a good job covering but always feel like if you block the running back or you block up You get good pass protection as you see like everybody's everybody's blocked up here. Now there's shedding, but Everybody's pretty much blocked up. So that's why I like playing against the 3-3 rather than dollar or some type of loop like No, so here we go back to deep attack probably my favorite play I should hit the ball underneath or quicker and almost do a pick there as Warm moons has popped us now I like watching these back because what I should have did is just boom X right there. Just get my first down Free right absolutely free get that first down. This was good defense I think he manned up the safety on DK Metcalf. Yep Same he ran the same defense twice in a row But I still like Metcalf to make that play I do but now we get a third and ten and he's back to the dollar Runs coverage here or a match almost or man coverage base aligned and I get the corner route to Chad Johnson big play So he's back in dollar now. So Anytime we get run yards Positive any time we get run yards positive first down on the run positive positive things boys Positive things when we get first down running yards All right back in three three so I feel better passing now Man man coverage just a little bit behind. I have nothing second down in the three three We're gonna motion over Franco Harris let him block DK catches the drag Almost gets into the end zone inside the 10 here we are again my friends Inside the 10 we're gonna just start passing one of my favorite plays here is inside cross We're looking running back in route. Maybe this whip, but I'm assuming this is a flat flat zone coverage Maybe three man rush so tough spot. We pretty much got to let his user pick is he going in route or is he going running back? You know That's pretty much what I'm looking here, but You know Three man rush innocent contain. We're not gonna get any pressure I lied or that guy gets beat But if you watch Franco Harris here like he doesn't flatten up this route He bumps into both of these guys here and slides through the block One he probably hurt my blockers and two he goes up. He goes way up the field like I'm not comfortable throwing this, you know, maybe if he got here or he was at the five-yard line rather than three You know, he would have had life, but then we get shetted Not what you want to see Next play we go verse. We get a nice scramble up the middle though Third down where no huddle to the line I didn't really want to know huddle because I don't have my main play in my audible is deep corner So this was a mistake. No huddle now that I look at it Russian and no huddle right there I don't have the best play here, but I want to run inside cross again, and I don't want to waste the time out here. I Need that throw I need that throw like this was a good read. He goes man coverage here for the bread We step up. I Guess cuz they bumped right when I threw it they bumped But this is a big play cuz I mean we're gonna go up we're gonna go up by nine points here You know, but you know, he catches that, you know, that's good And the reason I'm gonna kick a another field wall because now I go up by more than a field wall So I'm gonna go up five points here. So that's good. It's way more comfortable than being up, too I don't want to risk being only up to so I'm gonna keep Like it's like I'm gonna keep being ahead by more than a field wall. That's pretty much my goal Cuz this guy's got 14 points, but I also have two stops at least so and I've seen this Type of offensive million times So we feel good trying to stop it for sure Although as you see once again our boy Sherman now, I've been shading inside a lot on posts and things like that and Sherman just He just can't keep up with her Smith, dude. It's like I don't know Just tight ends are glitched or like Mmm But he can't keep up with him and once again like look at this one two three and a contain here and we got our boy What's him called Bryce young making this throw with it like I Don't know and those people say Sherman's a zone corner. It's not like he has 72 man coverage, dude He has in the 80s plus the boost. He's like 85 man coverage and he's 80s 87 88 speed. So like For me, I still trust him to play man You know So he's gonna go for two here try to go up by three here. We're just gonna play a little bit of coverage I believe If I keep blitzing this linebacker here, it will stop inside zone once he motions them out. I feel good I got a flat route. I got flat yellows on the left Yeah, right there. That's that flat route. We got to stop right there. Boom. So we're down by one great Would be nice to get a touchdown at some point here Long go with a little run Want to try to run on the dollar. I don't want to pass on the dollar all the time Well, here we go. We're a little block same thing corner out flood out the left side. We're gonna step up Try to hit X but let me see who gets shed it here. I mean, it should be easy But once again, we have that thing where like my guys bump bump bump He's manned up on the tight end X is the read here But because he got bumps so hard this guy is able to shed and 35 You know 35 after that play. Oh We held on to the ball. Thank God So we're just I'm going to run the same play if you're gonna blitz we're gonna have time step up good step But we get out of there So we're gonna go to the fourth quarter here. We're down by one first game of the tournament. This is a long road Here we're gonna get plenty of protection here and we're gonna hit Oh, we're gonna try though to run it back. It was bagged for sure This was a scary You know once again X but we have B. B is the read here We went to the running bag before he got to that cloud got our hands on the football, but it was definitely scary All right now we're trying to do with a deeper corner out. We go seam over the middle. Oh, I should do right Finally able to see but if you guys realized this one we did not high ball So he just want to put his linebacker on the tight end open up that void in the middle of the field Hester catches it. So we're closing on a field go range Once again, we hit that whole shot big whole shot right there Able to hit that the kick to Chad Johnson Now we're back in our favorite spot boys the red zone. What can we do? What are we gonna pull out in the red zone here? He sends everybody we just throw the ball away Good defense second and ten Great job Good play right there as I want to try to get an end zone right there But we just drove old-school mesh post here. He goes covered to I believe So he's looking at this wheel routes that are running back into here orders post and we're able to get this drag To Hester we tried to like journal into the end zone, but we were tackled But now we're inside the two. This is where man's football is played boys where man's football is played We go dive and We get absolutely now listen. We got Fred Taylor fullback. Don't tell me I've used juice check I've used Patrick Richard from the damn Ravens. I've used all of them Like they all get just moved like this by safeties. It's like All right, so we're gonna go to stretch stretch right Good cut back inside and Franco gets in the end zone almost could have got ugly here, but like Almost bad runs thick But like right here, I can't go outside Fred Taylor goes inside. I can't go outside or I get tackled right there Gotta go back inside nice step inside, but then Fred Taylor does then I Hate the run so you didn't want to block him initially until I got into the hole And then you ran out and said no I want to block the guy I should have blocked and he was the one That actually tackled me but we get a stiff arm That's why we always put it on aggressive when we're down there. We're gonna go for two here Actually bagged all over the place really now I knew before this play I could not give up a pick two if I give up a pick two that I'm only up by three Honestly, this is another one where I want this RB back here You know and I got I put Hunter Henry in there a little bit taller But even this deep half right here is just really baggy And we almost give up a pick two but we tackle them so we're up by five Sherman got to figure it out. That's all I feel three minutes left in this game here. I'm not going to change up anything I'm really not I'm feel comfortable. I feel good. I'm not going to change up a thing I'm just gonna rely on Sherman now As far as I'm concerned, I mean Sherman showed me enough that he's not gonna keep getting whipped by What's him call it right there? That's that quick out route, man That's actually killed me and right there I don't know if he stopped or he wants to try to milk the clock and he wants to try to make this the last possession What's stones on this guy to try to make this the last possession like okay? Have fun You know, I've always said this man. If this guy Davo 23 or 28 Roman numeral skills if he milks out two minutes three minutes in this game Scores and beats me then God bless you shake his hand and you just keep going So I never panic to this if you want to try to milk the game Let's do it. This is what I'm here for I want to play defense. So I Never care if people like you know what I'm saying I'd like I have no problem saying if you if you do that and you beat me then then God bless Big tackle there by Sherman. We get to a third and seven right here Once again Sherman's on the tight end here he goes motion out So now Sherman will be on the running back of you if I show it and then I man up here And he hits that quick flat again, but we get to a fourth in one here fourth in one all the marbles I'm worried about that quick flat That quick flat is tough. So if he motions out, I got to worry about that quick flat especially for Especially for you know trips tight end or for one yard. So same defense We're gonna go ahead and just get in here. We're gonna play man coverage We're gonna shade inside. We moved up Sherman a little bit You see I put a I put a hard flat over there and he ran the ball and the boys just stood up The boys just stood up Big plays right here from the boys. Like I said, this guy's blitz and he's blitz and Ramsey in a flat zone Just cleans it up as well. Boom. Just I'll be honest. I'm not running for my for my tournament life I'm not but he decided to For the one a lot of you guys would run too. So I don't blame him too much I wouldn't do it, but you know, we're different. So now we're going now. I always say if I can get a first down That'd be great We go, oh man, we had the wheel good pressure right here though. Good pressure Like I said about the five-man rush like you're gonna block it But we're gonna eventually get some pressure. We had the wheel for a tutty Now I could milk the clock for sure, but like I said, I want to first down. I want to win this game Because I always have an opportunity to win it on defense, right? I always have that opportunity But for me, I want to be able to win it on offense and defense. He goes man here and DK just like sold like So I'm motion over and then he just he audible. He brings this guy. It's just med calf Just like that was a weak attempt. So we throw the ball away. So we do the ball way twice We've taken about four seconds off the clock. Not what you want to see honestly So here we go I'm gonna run a similar play here. He rushes five again. We're on a Hickiseki in the flat boom now He closed time out Now I said we could kick this field goal and then we'd be up by eight But you know what we can go for two. He needs a touchdown either way All right, so even if I don't get this two-pointer or get this first down I will still have a chance to stop him on Defense so it's not the whole game if I don't get this first down But it's definitely a so I want to give myself two chances and we're just gonna go corner flat again Flat is open. We're gonna go up top to Hester. Boom touchdown That's gonna seal it like I said when you get to a fourth and fourth and two fourth and one people are playing super aggressive and This is just free the tight end might have been open But he actually has a knockout right now But you you come down play man on Hester with Joey Blunt. You're gonna give him a touchdown just like that so Now we're up by 12 Now I don't really switch my defense up really I Keep burning the same defense a lot of times when you switch your defense up They can go right down the field pretty easily. I'll never want that as we get a lot of pressure here He's gonna try to go over Ed Reid and he does actually Uses a timeout here and this is 32 points is a odd score because I kicked For Four field goals. That's tough to kick for he goes the corner out here. I Made is pretty much cooked right here pretty much just Put it on the board He goes back to Sherman never mind Sherman just cannot cover Erv Smith. Is this the best route in the game boys? He gets the motion block he blocks up everything and Sherman just like I don't know if he's like I Don't know so he actually gets all that done scores. He's he's down by five goals for the onside Oh, he touches it early though, and we'll get it Gigi Gigi Gigi's so that was game one That was absolutely game one boys Let me know if you like these breakdowns or you want the quicker games This is we're going on about a half hour, but I just tell you what's going through my mind What I like to do why I do it and everything like that any questions you guys have let me know we're closing on 50,000 YouTube
