For this Madden Tips and Plays video breakdown, I am going to show another blitz setup called. It’s the zone version of the 46 Bear Cover 1 I shared last week. What I like about this defense is there are three different blitz setups that you can bring heat from three different defenders based on how you set it up. Which can make things very difficult for your opponent, as he won’t know who is going to get unblocked.

Quick Set-Up:
- Turn auto flip off
- Base align
- Spread defensive line
- Move MLB between the C and LG.
- Hot route MLB to blitz.
- After the snap, drop the MLB back into pass coverage.
Coaching Points:
- Depending on how you set the blitz up, one of three defenders will put pressure on a quarterback.
- Even if one of the key defenders that we show in the video breakdown don’t get the pressure on the quarterback, one of the outside blitzers will.
- Be sure to put a fast defensive in at the weak side defense attack in a position for best results.
Video Breakdown:
Summary of Video Breakdown:
- In the video, we first discuss three different Blitz setups called “46 Bear LB Blitz 3” in Madden 24.
- The blitz setups second use Cover 3 coverage with five defenders rushing the quarterback and six defenders in zone coverage.
- Third, we use the Cowboys Playbook for these blitz setups.
- Fourth, key coaching adjustments include turning off auto flip defensive play call and optionally setting it to base.
- Finally, a fast defensive end should line up at the weak side defensive tackle spot and a specific player should be strategically controlled to put pressure on the quarterback through different gaps.
Final Thoughts:
In conclusion, the 46 Bear–LB Blitz 3 is a powerful nano blitz that can pressure the quarterback and force turnovers. The three blitz setups can cause sacks, hurries, and interceptions because they make it hard for the offense to know who is unblocked. offense on their toes and give your team a chance to win.
