Best defensive okay book for someone getting killed by the pass

[japinard]

I've had a few indies visuals plays r cited as good for taking away those20 years passes, but I actually don't have he formation and play they're referring too. Not even sure how to look that stuff up. So skipping this, would OS'ears be willing to post their top
* Defense Playbook
* What sets it apart from other play books or makes it unique (feel free to skip)
*Ffavorite play in stated playbook.

Hope to continue learning so I don't suck so bad a,

Playbook is largely irrelevant as most 'books have ample stock of pass defense sets. Just call plays that are designed to stop the pass and play the pass during the play, you'll get better with practice and timing execution.

Yeah playbook isn't the issue. There are a lot of variables in pass defense. Are you getting beat on short/medium/deep passes? All of them or some of them or a combination of them? Are your cbs better rated at zone or man? But more than anything do some of the db drills and try to do more manual defense. Whenever the ball is thrown I immediately switch to the nearest defender and either play ball or play receiver.

The players matching the scheme and man/zone ratings matter more then ever it seems. People assume every defensive back can cover man to man and zone no problem and that's just not the case. Older DBs being so slow doesn't help matters on quick moving receivers either.

It all depends on your personnel bro. I've personally found over the years that pass coverage relies on play recognition attributes. Find teams with high play rec like Baltimore, buffalo, and hit the lab. I only allow a total on 226 yards o'er game online ranked matches and is currently riding a 9 game streak. Overall record 10-3. Mainly because I'm spend alot of time in the lab. Also learn your passing formations. I'm a guy that prefers man to zone. I will play man around 60% and zone 40. If I do indeed play zone in certain to send a blitz of some sort because I can't stand having my defense sitting there watching the QB throw dots (like the guys playing cover 3 each and every down). In zone coverage their will be holes and if given the right QB with the right offensive line (phillp Rivers and the chargers) then good luck buddy. You have to be aggressive each and every down. I treat each scenario as a red zone situation. Man to man is so much improved this year. It's almost op. I like team and prefer teams with high man to man ratings as well as press. How I feel playing man to man has more perks than cons. It's the art of football mano v mano. Only thing is you have to watch the routes like outs, and slants. In this situations I double press the man align key, press coverage key twice, then depends on what route they are running most( for slants shade inside), (for outs shafe outside shoulder) (for streaks cover over the top) (for the guys who like to throw drags, you shade underneath so that you are in what's called a trail technique.) so just to re cap, try going man to man more, be more aggressive in more situations(blitzing on first and second down), look for teams with high play recognition, lab with team with high man and press coverage. Try these steps and in no time you should be locking it up in no time.
