Can Four Verticals Be Stopped?

[MagicMan1315]

Ask Texas if it can be stopped.



Haha we ran the play we call "Score" on that play.. Its when we send 4 WR on "Go" routes. Its essentially "Four Verticals."

I can't get it too work too often, actually.

its easy to stop online against ppl this year. against the computer just don't call it. call a hail mary instead if you really need to

It's easy to stop if you can user control the FS. However, if you always use LB or DL on defense, then it's tougher to stop. If you're playing someone cheesing that play, call man coverage, don't press, and user the FS. Then shade the slot WR on the left side of the field b/c that's usually the one people go to.

I usually show blitz, and then user control the FS over the slot WR on the left. I've had GREAT success doing that b/c if you don't press, your cpu DB's will be in great position for a pick.

Hope that helps.

Run Cover 4. It's the cure for 4 verts.

It's not that hard IMO... I always control the safety though and if it's that big of deal then just run a 3 deep play there not hard to find.


I've only lost 1 game online and that was to a guy that ran 5 Wr all game had a play I couldn't stop until later. I came all the way back to go ahead but couldn't stop him at the end and I lost

This.

A two-deep man defense also ought to at least force the quarterback to go to his check down, throwing to the halfback running the hook out of the backfield.

I haven't used it, but why wouldn't man coverage stop it? If people are sitting in cover 2, and 3 all day, they should expect to get burnt?
