Tips for Running a Good 4-3 Defense?

Is there any way to sacks with the DL against the CPU while running a 4-3? Without being able to jump the snap no matter how good my DL is, I rarely can pressure the CPU.

Robo-Quarterback is the state of the art quarterback that has ultimate poise, excellent read coverage ability, infinite stamina and consistency.

No defense can stop robo-QB

1: Make sure you have your 2 fastest D-Linemen at LE (1st fastest) and RE (2nd fastest).
2: Make sure you have your 2 fastest D-Lineman at SDT and WDT.
3: Make sure you have your fastest Safety at FS.
3: Shift your D-Line to the strong side of the offensive formation.
4: Loop your D-line.
5: Bring your FS down to LB depth over the weak side of the offensive formation.
6: Either keep manually controlling your FS to lurk short passes and then drop back to cover deep, or just click off of the FS once the ball is snapped.

NOTE: If you are playing with a team that has 3-4 personnel, just make sure to do the same substitutions, come out in a 3-4 play, and audible down to a 4-3 play. The 2nd MLB will slide down to become the RE, and the original 3-4 RE will slide over to DT.

Recommended 3-4 play:
3-4 Stack, QB Contain -Double coverage on outside receivers, Midle coverage with MLB in spy assignment, Great run D, DE contain assignments for QB scrambles or screen plays, and 34 Stack formation looks like 4-3 normal.

Recommended 4-3 plays:
4-3 Normal Cover 2 Buc -Make sure to playmaker safeties wide to cover the deep ball.
4-3 Normal Buzz Weak -Added coverage for deep outside routes, and screens.
4-3 Normal Spy 3 Blitz -Added coverage for deep outside routes, and an OLB blitzing too.

I recommend using the Multiple-D playbook; -Good luck!

What does "loop" the d-line mean?

"Looping" the D-Line means to make them crash to the outside.
