Coaching Points:
- Having a fast defensive lineman lined up at the nose tackle position will allow him to get quicker pressure on the quarterback.
- Not only does the pressure come from the nose tackle, one of the three pass rushers coming from the right side of the offensive line may get pressure as well on the quarterback.
- The quarterback cannot step up in the pocket to avoid the outside pass rush because of the nose tackle coming through the A-Gap.
- One thing we like about this blitz setup from the Nickel 3-3 – Nickell Blitz 3, is that you do not have to move any Defender before the snap, making it Madden NFL 23 Online Connected Franchise friendly.
