huh, so thats a "nano blitz"...is nano an acronym or something? I've only done it once a couple of games ago and didnt know how or what I did but I got an "achievement unlocked: nano" message on the screen so I assume I did this....the CPU does it to me all the time though

Not sure if that's really a nano blitz. I thought a nano blitz was a 4 man rush that penetrates the A gap. This guy is sending 6, or 5 w/ a fake blitz.

Also, he fails to mention that if you keep a RB or TE in to block, you can get away from this and hit the gaping holes in this defense. Deep post anyone?

I like the fake blitz idea. I have plays where I'm supposed to do that but I don't. If it actually attracts the OL.. I will do it. That part was a really good tip.

The "Nano" achievement means that you sacked the qb right after the snap, you DT beat the Oling and got there quick.

You cannot block it unless you slide protect. That's why it is a nano blitz. Against base protection the same guy is going to come up the gut every single time. If you slide protect you pick that middle guy up but the outside guy comes free.

WHen are all these adjustments made when there is clock run down? Against the CPU the snap comes about a second after we're on the field. There's no time for all the adjustments needed to perform this.

Against the CPU you might never get all of this off. I don't even try against the CPU. I pretty much run a lot of vanilla defense against it.
