For this Madden Tips and Plays video breakdown, we show a Four Man Pass Rush That Will Confuse Your Opponent. The name of the defense that we use is called Nickel 2-4-5 – Cover 4 Quarters.

In the video breakdown, we look at an old-school technique that I used when I worked at VG Sports that manipulates how the offensive line blocks, despite the blitzing defender playing way off the line of scrimmage. This technique allows me to create the Four Man Pass Rush.

Final Thoughts:

This defense is set up is just another example of how the bring a four-man pass rush that will confuse your opponent without having to move any defenders. Which makes this a really nice defense to run if you play in an online franchise that doesn’t allow you to move any defenders.
