Cover 4 is a run defense. It puts both safeties in the run fit. It's notably useful in defending the outside run such as stretch plays. You are correct to call Cover 4 to defend the run.

People really don't realize this, they see cover 4 and automatically assume it's a prevent defense

Re: Three Tips to Stop the Run in Madden NFL 17

I run the Vikings 4-3 base, and I use 2 3-4 style DT's and heavier, almost 3-4 DE's...In exchange, my 3 LB's are all about speed, PRC, AWR and zone cover..I'll pinch my DT's and spread out my DE's and LB's...

The 2 heavy DT's can stop the inside runs with their higher Blockshed and strength you get from 3-4 DT's and that leaves all my other players available to cover the stretch plays...I user my lone MLB....I generally run COver 3 Match as my base alignment...

Re: Three Tips to Stop the Run in Madden NFL 17

I just don't see the problem stopping the run in this year's game. I play in an All-Madden CFM with a handful of friends where we all pick one team to be for the league, but for every game on each user's schedule another user 'retires' and takes control of the opponent for that week, so we are always playing head-to-head, never the CPU.


In our league, running is a chore. You may make a big run every once in a while, but it's typically 10-15 carries for 35-60 yards for RBs. I've yet to break 100 yards with a single rusher as the Cowboys. We may be advanced players, but running on All-Madden is no joke.

The front 4 is the steel curtain against the run and a bunch of statues against the pass regardless of team.

Your correct, C4 is a very good outside run counter. Many people don't recognize this.

The problem I have, since the tuner that is, is that Safeties and Corners have become just as effective tackling runners one-on-one as my line backers are. You should have some kind of trade off with having less weight in your run fits that allow me to take advantage downhill. It shouldn't be automatic, but I should have an advantage against most Safeties.

That was biggest gripe with the tuner - DB tackling effectiveness.

The Steelers and the Ravens did this plenty in the 2000s and 2010s with Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed quarterbacking their respective defenses.
