Trouble defending PRO offense

[HerkKerbstreet]

Everytime i face a team that likes to pass a lot (SMU, WVU, USC, pro offenses) i always get burned and beat. None of my plays work (man, zone coverage). I can never stop the pass. I run a 4-3 defense. What should i do? Im playing as Texas State

As for what to do, I assume you aren't lining up to try and defend 4+wide in the 4-3 right? Also, as texas state, your going to get burned a lot by those teams, they're a lot better than you. To alleiviate some of it, try stunting linemen, or even just adding them on additional short zones on known passing downs

Start recruiting tall, fast corners!!!!! and fast Safetys, stick with man to man nickle for 3 wr dime for 4 wr. if u do play zone stick with cover 4 or cover 3

I have found success defending the Pro offense by blitzing the Line backers, having my safties in man and Corners in zone.

How do you set this up?

[Ueauvan]

i look at it the other way, safeties zone, cbs man, backers (1 set for certain formations - coverage another fast blitz)

i like 2-4-5 and 2-3-6 altho i wish it wasnt with 3 on the line

you also have to figure out for example is your ss#2 better or worse than either fs#2 or cb#3. the answer then can either make you do some formation subs or prefer some formations over others

nickel - normal 3 cb, 4-2-5 - 2 ss 1 fs 2 cb
