Agreed, but for a different reason. This is high school level stuff that he's explaining. This shit gets COMPLICATED, and also it's all disguised usually out of a cover 2 shell. This is why film is basically all nfl qbs do with their lives.
I agree, someone not trying to show the Madden world cheese plays every update. It's a simulation game, can we just try to simulate the the actual game we all love (NFL)
The fact you’re a humble guy and wanna genuinely help people but still get a little crazy sometimes is awesome. Never realized you were in the Packers roster so you got fan for life here
I love it I'm from Australia and have been watching nfl for yrs and love the intricacies on how plays are drawn up and understanding behind why players do things Thanks this is awesome
To have someone with your experience applying these concepts within the madden realm is really unprecedented as far as I know. What a blessing. Thanks, man!
Longtime fan, first time caller, you're an exceptional athlete and person. You and Grossi collabing a while back was some of the most entertaining sports media I've ever heard.
kurt holy man, your content is amazing we need to see more madden content. not even educational stuff, just gameplay. it’s just so entertaining to see a professional quarterback playing madden and learning from that gameplay. love the content, keep it up kurt!
bro we need some more videos like this. Like you playing online head to head or in mut and telling us what you're looking at as you dot people up. Hell even throwing in a few defensive plays in there would be cool to see.
This was a super informative, quality, fun video. Especially as a football junkie who beats people often by out coaching them, this was a quick masterclass! 🔥💯💪🏾
So glad I found this channel and was surprised to see you had Niners experience too. Love how you break things down and look forward to seeing your career redemption series.
Dawg I don’t play madden, played O-line in high school and never had any intent on playing farther. But i love how well you can describe this stuff love it
Cover 9 is my bread & butter on the 49ers(cover 9 is a variation of cover 6 but it fixes the problem of spacing with cover 6.) This is the best breakdown I’ve seen for coverages.
would love to see a series on your favorite passing concepts. short , med , deep. also, ea really needs ex players to be involved in the coding of the game.
can you make a follow up video or series on the different coverages, where you talk about them a little more in depth (strengths, weaknesses, run/ pass assignments, blocking, difference in mancoverage etc.)?
Holy shit how does this guy only have 171k subscribers. There are more high school football players than that in this country, and this is quality content that they can actually learn some things from watching. Tbh, this is what ESPN should be.
Bro this is the best breakdown iv seen. You should do read play options and explain what you are looking for and which defenders to read. That’s what iv always tried to learn to do in madden and iv never been able to figure it out
I love your breakdowns! It highlights how qb is the toughest position to play in sports. Question, how do you effectively read cover 6 pre snap? That seems like a difficult task. Or is that something youll have to notice post snap?
this video is a great idea! I would just suggest that you the video moves a bit quickly, so maybe breaking the coverages down with more detail would be helpful
Yeah as an international fan who only started watching/learning football seriously four years ago, even watching this at 0.5 speed was too fast for me - lots of terms I still don't understand 🫤
Honestly, if you ever considered doing a long running series and wanted to get complicated, I would *love* if you rebuilt Green Bay in Head Coach 09. That’s one of my favorite series to watch RUclipsrs cover, and the way the AI adjusts to you and even steals your plays could be a ton of fun. Especially since *you* can design your own plays.
Dude I’d love for you to break down offensive and defensive schemes systematically like this, except spend like 20 minutes on (for example) cover 1, its counters, and the variations on rules and designs that teams run.
I dislike madden, but I love football, but I have to say it’s incredibly refreshing seeing a madden creator who knows wtf they’re talking about instead of just running the cheesy plays and thinking they’re good..
You’re awesome Kurt, these videos are super cool. I especially liked your shprt on that awful giants goaline play. Hope to see you in the league as a coach some day
hey, would it be possible to go over different devensive schemes and their strengths/weakness like 3-4, 4-3, etc? Sometimes I don't know the best schemes for the players I draft in franchise and general team building
Do you think these tips apply to older NCAA football games? I’m playing NCAA 11 and having a blast, but want to increase my depth of knowledge in the game even more.
Sorry if you’ve answered this I’m New here! Would you ever do an ebook? I’m having trouble understanding these and love the four verts vid but did not have the same result as you haha.
Sidebar Kurt,, I'm an Atlanta native man. I was absolutely pissed when the Falcons didn't give you a real shot when they were choosing Matt Ryan's back up man. I'm not sure you still have that itch man but at the rate D Ridder 9 is going.... Sheesh it's hard to watch. I really liked the command you displayed from the second pre~season game on. I thought "Wow this guy is gonna be a player if given the opportunity and experience under real NFL fire. Hell, I know I can gather 35,000 ppl at the game with signs we're so annoyed. frfr If not I wish you great success in all your endeavors.
Hey Kurt. Love your content and breakdowns. So hard to find good football analysis that speaks to both fans and die-hard football junkies (I am both). Tons of respect. Keep it up and I’ll keep watching!
Question, are you teaching actual football defenses through madden or showing ways to exploit madden defenses? Didn’t know if I could use these tips to beat my friends
You know what would be bad ass?? If you did a madden franchise series on here where you put yourself on your favorite team in the game... and see how many seasons to get you to a 99!!
Well done sir! It would be cool to see you mix Madden plays with real NFL ALL 22 film and see the differences. What program are you using for your on screen graphics overlays?
This really puts into perspective how advanced playing quarterback in the nfl is and emphasizes why great quarterbacks deserve all the praise they get
Agreed, but for a different reason. This is high school level stuff that he's explaining. This shit gets COMPLICATED, and also it's all disguised usually out of a cover 2 shell. This is why film is basically all nfl qbs do with their lives.
Most important position in all of sports, without a doubt.
True because he’s not even close to a top QB and has good football IQ it just shows how smart qbs are
@@DookieBlaster Exactly. I learned stuff like this is high school. Quite literally the tip of the iceberg.
@@tdd7216exactly! it kinda goes to show that the perfect system can make a guys play more exceptional with the brains the position already requires
this is like when Romo became an announcer, just seems like a natural spot for you

Congrats on making it to the nfl this dudes a 🤡
I would absolutely love to see you do a franchise series
Yes that would be awesome

Yes! Would love to know what leverage each players have on each coverage and why
Thanks Kurt as a kid who love playing football and madden this really helps with learning how to read different coverages
I’ve actually gotten so much better reading defenses cuz of you! Thank you!!

Solid idea
Should do weekly recaps for football , love listening to the insight
Working on it 🫡 I give a lot on shorts in that regard and do during my weekly live show
Cover 9 is my bread & butter on the 49ers(cover 9 is a variation of cover 6 but it fixes the problem of spacing with cover 6.) This is the best breakdown I’ve seen for coverages.

Haha - it’s the only way I can play madden. I love relating it to real football
This is a really cool idea using madden to breakdown defenses. Saw the short too that was brilliant
More to come 🫡 it’s a good teaching tool
Miss you in GB. LOVE you on RUclips!!! 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💰💰
Love all the vids. Could you do a video on how to ID the Mike & pass protection? That would be amazing 🙌🏾
This is a good idea, I got yoy

You’re awesome Kurt, these videos are super cool. I especially liked your shprt on that awful giants goaline play. Hope to see you in the league as a coach some day
The man is operating on such a high frequency. He is the real deal.
Can you make videos diving into each type of coverage?
I like how easy to understand this is youre a pretty good teacher
You’re too good at this Kurt. Go hoooos
I run a cover 1 spy, a cover 2 man, and a cover 6. I was shocked how teams struggled with the reads.
hey, would it be possible to go over different devensive schemes and their strengths/weakness like 3-4, 4-3, etc? Sometimes I don't know the best schemes for the players I draft in franchise and general team building
I need a video talking about different passing concepts vs different coverages
Do another one this is a great videos. Would love to know how to use my o line better and adjust it, especially against and reading blitzes
You should make yourself in superstar mode and make that a series, that would be 🔥
This guy is insane, I love your RUclips
This a gem!
Thank you for the content Kurt

Please do a longer in dept, And more styles like dollar and other ones!
Can you talk about odd over under cub etc

Real football 🫡
Man I really appreciate you Brother. I've won 7 straight picks because of the tutorial
I would love if you do it in true practice mode where you can show us protections and can run it on all madden
Oh I totally got you
It's called football coverages 101 but as someone who doesn't know shit about football, I understood 5% of all of that mumbo jumbo.
This dude is amazing.
You know what would be bad ass?? If you did a madden franchise series on here where you put yourself on your favorite team in the game... and see how many seasons to get you to a 99!!
Not gonna go in depth but I coach defense in youth football we run cover 3 base and 6-2 alot of times we'll roll em it works for us pretty well.
what are the best run plays against cover 2 zone
here to second that other comment that I'd love to see you do a franchise series
God knows. I got lost after like 20 seconds
hey can you come to my house and teach me this in person, wasn’t really coming thru for me with the video setup
Well done sir! It would be cool to see you mix Madden plays with real NFL ALL 22 film and see the differences.
What program are you using for your on screen graphics overlays?
As a longtime Vikings Fan, i wish you would be on the team. It’s ridiculous how no one has signed you.
He talkin that shit😂
