, and proper defensive structure. This guide breaks down the exact fundamentals you need to consistently shut down the run game, force long third downs, and dictate every drive.
1. The User: Your Most Important Defender
Whether the offense is running or passing, your user defender determines the success of the entire play. But most players use their user incorrectly.
Don’t User on the Line of Scrimmage
Never user a defensive lineman or someone right on the line. You’ll get sucked into blocks instantly and lose control. Instead:
· User a second-level defender (LB or nickel)
· Or use a high safety, which is often even better for run defense
This gives you clean space to react, redirect, and flow to the football.
Avoid the Two Common Mistakes
Most players either:
· Play too timid, barely moving until the back is already 5 yards upfield
· Crash straight downhill, getting stuck in the traffic at the line
Both are losing habits.
The Correct Method: Flow Across the Formation
Instead of charging in or standing still:
· User on the opposite side of where you expect the run to go
· Flow laterally across the field with only the left stick
· Stay clean and force the run back into help defenders
· Or fit the gap yourself and make the tackle
This simple “flow and funnel” technique turns you into a reliable run-stopper on every snap.

2. Manipulating Blocks With Your Path
Great users don’t just tackle-they manipulate the offensive line.
By getting close to the LOS and looping across, you:
· Make linemen commit to blocking air 
· Open lanes for free defenders
· Force backs into tight windows
One small step by you can free a linebacker entirely. Mastering this timing is the difference between giving up a touchdown and creating a stuff for no gain.

3. Coaching Adjustments That Boost Run Defense
Before each drive:
· Click the right stick to open defensive coaching adjustments
· Safety Depth: Move one tick left → safeties at ~8 yards
· Safety Width: Move one tick left → safeties pinched closer
This pulls your safeties into the run fit without committing extra defenders manually. It strengthens the second and third level while still protecting you from deep shots.

4. Under-Center Run Defense: The Blueprint
Under-center runs can be strong, but you can neutralize them with a simple system.
Use Cover 3 or Cover 4
You don’t need a fancy play-just a stable coverage like:
· Cover 3 Sky
· Cover 4 Drop
This protects you against play action while still giving the structure needed to stop the run.
User the High Safety Against Run-Heavy Looks
If the formation clearly signals run:
· User a safety, not a linebacker
Why?
Because the safety won’t help the run unless you manually bring him down. By usering him, you add an extra free defender the offense isn’t accounting for.
Just remember:
If it’s play action, bail deep immediately. Slow-play the first second of the snap to stay safe.

5. Shotgun Run Defense: Adjusting for RPO Threats
Stopping shotgun runs starts with stopping the RPO.
Identify Bubble RPOs
Most shotgun runs pair with:
· RPO Bubble
· RPO Alert
· RPO Glance from doubles or trips
To counter:
· Run Cover 3 shaded underneath
· Drag down your hard flat defender toward the bubble
· User on the running back side
· Loop across the formation
You cover both the bubble and the run with these two simple movements.

6. The Bottom Line: Run Defense Is User Defense
If you follow these rules-flowing instead of crashing, adjusting safeties, using stable coverages, and accounting for RPOs-you’ll shut down nearly every run scheme in the game with دیدن لینک ها برای شما امکان پذیر نیست. لطفا ثبت نام کنید یا وارد حساب خود شوید تا بتوانید لینک ها را ببینید.
. Shotgun runs should become easy to diagnose, and even under-center power runs will become manageable once you master high-safety user technique.
Lock down the run, force your opponent into long passing downs, and you’ll control the entire pace of the game.
