Defending Shotgun Quads Trio - Four Verticals

[jarato]

The unbalanced aspect of this formation is giving me problems, can anyone give me any tips. This is a guys money play in our league and it's time to shut it down. Only passing play he runs other than that he's a power run guy.

Cheese.

He should be booted.

4verts from any formation is cheese. 8/10 times the safety will hang up between two of the fly routes giving you a WR that is completely free for at least a 20+ yard gain.

any 4verts with with 3 fly routes(especially if one of those routes is that cross-hash fade) again will be unstoppable 8/10 times, even in full man the safeties over the top won't be able to cover that cross-hash fade properly. throw in some hotread audibles and you just can't stop it enough.

it is his money play because it is cheese.

I only play vs CPU, but I noticed the potency of multiple deep routes right away. The DBs just can handle them. When I play, I don't even let myself run more than two deep routes on a play unless it's the final play of the game and I'm trailing.

So yeah, I would say he is taking advantage of deficiencies in AI, AKA cheesing.

Or any cover 4 play...

Power runs and 4-verticals. This guy sounds like a lot of fun to play.

Control your safety and make a play on the ball

Edit: This is out of the cover 2 man.

Not really affective, four wide to one with closest slot running a drag under the next guys seam route
