You can do the same thing with 4-3 wide cover 2 invert, just hook zone all the lb's then manually put the middle lb in a deep blue zone, blitz all the lineman and spy one of the tackles then shift coverage so it won't be a give away with the safeties creeping in then play as one of the zoning lb's. It's a few adjustments but they work and if they audible to run you can reset the play and blow up the run
Jackson Ritchie I put decent lb's as de's and hook zone depending on down and yardage and 4th downs cause certains guys go for it I'll spy either one of my de/lb's or the d tackle
Narduzzi will run a similar coverage vs 20 personnel (2×1 sets). The safety to the 2 receiver side will rob the curl area. The backside safety will match the vertical of #2, and the strong side hook dropper will match the vertical of #3 Nice job on creating a double robber coverage, and improvising the overhang defenders to carry the vertical of #2.
What I always find fascinating is that Saban really expects college kids to learn it all. His defensive playbook is 430 pages. The downside is that occasionally it busts, because college players cant remember it all. Last night, both the outside CB, and the slot DB, cut to an outside receiver running in, leaving the slot WIDE open on a corner route.
ny_kia31 It's too much, especially nowadays with the limited practice time. That's why I like Chris Ash, he keeps things simple. In the national title game vs Oregon, he spot dropped his cover 3, and even his cover 4. That's as simplistic as it gets!
purpled safeties work better than cloud flats on c routes, great concept I used this in 16 when the purple zones were broken and it worked. Most didn't bother in 16 because the nano and man game was so tough.
Great video Zan! Always love your content. Is there a fast way for me to learn the quick links for the adjustments. Still learning these as I am getting better at Madden. Let me know - KRAELO
I wish there was an actual counter to corner strike using 2 zones, not just anti-C route that gives up flat for free against players that are consistently reading high/low. Cover 3 cloud flats can tag C routes too, so will cover 2 carry. But all of these have the exact same weakness: nobody on the flat unless you use a 3rd zone that side or user. The fundamental problem is that madden default deep zones don't work.
I use something similar to this to stop gun tight'esque formations. Creating a makeshit cover 2 hawk can stop mesh and bench . especially vs ppl who like to hot route exta streaks up the seams
i came up with this adjustment to stop the 10 yard out route by a outside wr but i did it from the 335 wide its possible with really fast linebackers of course you want to be past the 50 in case they try to lob it over your head hardly ever use it tho.
Gonna work this in. Good video man. I think you got a new subscriber.
brilliant! love this concept

Benton Swain so Zone lbs, blitz line besides one guy and put a lb in a deep blue? Is that right?
Jackson Ritchie I put decent lb's as de's and hook zone depending on down and yardage and 4th downs cause certains guys go for it I'll spy either one of my de/lb's or the d tackle
or just blitz the tackles and user 1 of my de/lb's from off the line so they'll be 9 guys in coverage
I like this. Working with it now; works great. Thanks for the tips Zan the Man.
another fire tip appreciate it zan

Nice. I was playing around with inverted coverages in Cover 2. Put the CB in a Vert Hook and put the Nickel/OLB in a Cloud Flat
Great vid bro. I'm going to try this especially 3rd and long
reminds me of Michigan state's defense, look it up
Devron Taylor Yup. OSU ran it in 2014 and 2015 as well. Quarters defense.
Devron Taylor pat narduzzi cover 4
This was my go to play in Mut16. I forgot what playbook it is in, but I would love to use it again. Nice vid.
Lab master Zan back at it again
Just got a rage quit running this D. I played AKG last night and he was killing me with corner strikes, wish I had this. Great tip!!
Thanks, Good tip.

good for a 3rd and long maybe. but the flats are open all day
can you do video on how too stop screens
Man up your DE to the HB. or man up one of your LB's to the HB.
Or user pick it
Tremaine Robertson Nigga just user it
what are the exact adjustments for this
ha! i was actually rinning this last year from dime 146
thanks gotta add that
Zan, are you man aligning and pressing or are you base aligning?
How can I put the slot defenders on those deep zones and the two safeties on flat zones quickly? Zan
J Billa quick adjustments
Hash Brown yeah but how what buttons I press I got ps4
double tap triangle then press the icon for the corner, then and the left stick
J Billa gotta be quick with the fingers bro
is this better against the run than the normal cover 4 from dollar?
How do you do the quick links on defense?
how do you stop the run from 326
How does this fair in the red zone? Is it too spread out to be effective?
Which cover 4 is this?
Great tips but damn how do you audio so fast lol for real any tips for that ??
can you run this every down
I have some questions, what beats this coverage the most, can this be used as a base Defensive or should run it on 3-4wr sets?
You this defense is CLAMPS YHANKS SOOO MUCH
Hash Brown deep posts from cross field or shots will destroy cover 4 for easy tds. as long as your opponents don't know that you should be ok.
Hash Brown playaction kills this
what quick links
Nice
How do we route swap in madden 17 anyone know .!!
i almost made it in the tourney for the sec time but didnt play enough
Not bad.
hands not quick enough to set this up
RAWR!
Lol. Just saw this in salary cap lol.
another video with another 40 steps, smh.
skanlessv get faster with your setups.
4wardProgressMadden wouldn't a run audible kill this?
heyyy man i think you should of won thats bs lol hell of a game tho
good tips and channel bro. a more mature approach to your channel. everyone has cursing or loud rap. that gets old fast. so good job.
