Speech On Blitzes

Decent Essays

Hello, this is an E-book made by the group Destined for Greatness (D4G), we are a group of Madden players that spend our time to bring you the best possible content to help you win more and do better in the game of Madden. In this intro we will be going over some of the important things to keep in mind when blitzing your opponent and playing defense in general. First, we must understand that the whole goal of blitzing is to produce pressure on the QB so that you either get a sack, force a bad throw, or take receiving options out by forcing the offense to add blockers. It is important to recognize that when you are blitzing you could potential risk coverage, but blitzing effectively, can fluster your opponent’s offense, making them make bad …show more content…

Blitzes can bring a whole new dimension to a player’s game. But just as important as blitzes you need to be able to back that blitz up with good coverage/run defense to make your opponent have to think more.

I like to play under routes over the middle, as they are what most people like to look for when passing the ball. I look for ins, slants, posts, seam routes, drags, etc. You'll get a feel for how the routes break and how you should break on them. By playing more and more you are going to start picking up and learning formations and plays that people like to run. For example, if a guy comes out in Gun Trips (Four Verticals) (3WR, 1TE, 1 RB) and you see 3 WR running streaks and the running back going on a route that crosses across the field, you can most likely expect your opponent to look deep slant route across the middle of the field. This play is a great example of why it is so important to user when playing Defense due to the play being so very commonly used and being very effective when ran against the CPU
