How on earth do i stop slant routes?

Hey Everyone, i was playing a friend in an online game in madden 12. He had the raiders, while i had the Chargers. I put Jammer on Jacoby Ford because i felt as if Jammer could keep up with Ford and he has a pretty good man defense rating. He kept throwing balls to Ford on slant routes, and no matter what i did, it always completed most of the time. I ran man defense, zone, none worked. Any suggestions?

Press coverage is my best advice.

Use a zone defense, put four lineman on the line and manually blitz a linebacker. Works best with dime or nickel (Cover 2 with Nickel and 3 Deep Safe in Dime -- from either of those defenses, you can manually blitz the LB from the side with frequent success, the LB only leaves a small hole in the middle that your safety will usually collapse on quickly if they throw to a short slant). Even if you don't get a sack, any time you hurry the QB, he'll throw an interception or bad pass. You will give up some completions on slants underneath, but usually for less than 10 yards. Be careful that you get some sort of pressure, because a danger with zone is that if the QB gets enough time and the receiver runs a streak, only a safety will be left to guard him, so you can get screwed.

Press coverage. Or manually shade Jammer to the inside. Or put a LB up to the D-line in the B-gap on Ford's side of the field and put him in a hook zone (Yellow) or set him to QB Spy (make sure he's even with the d-linemen).

He wasn't a cheeser, it was my fault for not being able to figure out how to defend it. If it isn't broke, why fix it?

Jammer if pressing should have his way with Ford on most downs or cover 2 sink

I would use the feature on the game that allows you cover the WR inside. Or perhaps spotlight him or do both. It work great because if you move the corner inside they see you move him. This way you play the inside but your opponent does not see any CB movement.
