Reading The Defense PRE-SNAP - Part I {Madden 20}

SKIP TO 1:25 if you want to get right to the explanation.

Get your Peyton Manning on and learn how to know what defense your opponent is running before you even snap the ball.

There are only 6 different Coverages on defense an opponent can possibly run if you understand the SHELL of coverages.

Cover 4, Cover 3, Cover 2 zone, Cover 2 Man, Cover 1, or Cover 0. More on this in the video.

There are several advantages to developing a pre-snap read. You will be better prepared to attack defensive coverages. You will develop a better understanding on what defenders to key post snap for your particular offensive play call. The most important thing, is that you will be able to punish your opponent over and over again if you understand the weaknesses of defenses in general because you will know what they are running.

You will be a force to reckon with, putting your opponent in a position where he will feel the need to disguise his coverages more pre snap - putting his defenders in disadvantaged alignments and etc.

I hope to put up SEVERAL videos on the game to shine light on football in general. My love for the game was in hibernation until I decided to pick up Madden again after about 10 years. Once I noticed that they started implementing REAL Football rules into the game like Cover 4 Match Patterns, Mable Cover 3, and etc - my flame was rekindled.

I hope you look forward to videos like...

I am a person that believes in REAL football strategy. I've always desired to implement real football strategies into my game to exploit my opponents. I have never believed in utilizing gimmicks to win. I firmly believed, that if the game coded defenses and offenses right {the way that real nil teams play them}, than there should be no gimmick in the game that you shouldn't be able to beat with simple strategies. Enough blabbering - I hope you enjoy the video - and the quality will hopefully get better being this is my first video on this game.
