Strafe, strafe, strafe....

If you're sitting in a zone, filling a hole or whatever, that will keep you squared-up. If you're just moving the stick around, you're going to have a REALLY tough time making changes in direction and so on.

How do you strafe? Is it the left trigger held down?

I was getting ready to make a similar post, glad it’s not just me.

What I want to know is what are some pre snap must do’s? Is there any way to keep my CBs from immediately coming out in press when I play man coverage? I feel like it’s either press or play way off..? Why is there no in between??

If you have a linebacker will less than 88 speed in pass defense then it’s useless lol. I always user the linebackers, especially in coverage because if I don’t then they give up way too easy yards. I’ve man covered TEs before and guessed the cut they make and I still got burned due to the speed burst, it will always be there unfortunately.

But like Josh said, best to do is strafe and play zone coverage, cover your zone
