Sting Pinch Zone

1. Pinch defensive line 2. Hot route the DT to blitz 3. User control MLB in hook zone A nice adjustment to make with this play is to shade the defensive secondary in. Look to user control the MLB and cover over the short middle of the field. This play has versatile written all over it.

Perfect for 3rd and long situations. A key adjustment we like to make to this play is to drop a MLB into a deep zone. This will create a Cover 5 Zone blanketing the deep part of the field.

This play will bring pressure left which is the perfect compliment to Fire Fox Zone. Your coverage is weak to the left side of the field so make sure you user control the deep FS and cover this area.

This play brings pressure off the right edge and compliments the WK Overload 3. Coverage is weak to the right side of the field so make sure you user control the deep FS and cover this area.

2 Man Under

1. Pinch defensive line 2. Pinch MLB 3. Drop both DEs in buzz zones Sub 14-6 Use this setup to throw off your opponent from the pressure you will be bringing with the Fire Fox and WK Overload 3. The coverage should mess up his timing forcing bad decisions.

DB Sting

DB Sting 2 Buzz

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Press Global blitz both OLBs HB positioning (drop into buzz) User control blitzing corner Drop into coverage or rush the QB depending on HB actions

1. Global blitz or global zone all linebackers 2. User control the deep safety The Cover 2 Zone version of the DB Sting is great for redzone and short yard situations. The short middle of the field is extremely vulnerable.

When done correctly you will always have a +1 blitzing situation. This is one of our favorite blitzes in Madden NFL 13.

Cross 3 Fire

2 Man LB Blitz

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Press Global blitz both OLBs Identify HB positioning User control blitzing corner Drop into coverage or rush the QB depending on HB actions

1. Hot route both DEs to buzz zones This play will force your opponent to be patient. With the intense pressure from the blitzes we are using from this formation expect your opponent to be confused.

The Cross 3 Fire is the safest setup of the spinner defenses. Look to call this when you cant afford getting beat deep.

Cover 4

1. Hot route both DEs to hook zones/QB spies We love turning this play into a Cover 5 by dropping one of the MLBs into a deep zone. This will blanket the deep part of the field.

GL Zone

1. Shift defensive line left 2. Hot route the left of screen DE to blitz 3. Hot route the right of screen DE (inbetween DE and DT) to blitz This play does a great job at sending two pass rushers free after the QB. It also has great coverage for redzone situations.

1. Shift defensive line left 2. Hot route the left of screen DE to blitz 3. Hot route the right of screen DE (inbetween DE and DT) to blitz We only use this play to mix up our GL Zone coverage. Throughout the course of a game there will be many redzone opportunities that you will need to get stops on. This play will be a great change of pace for your redzone defense.
