This is Version 3 of our Dollar Scheme, the other versions still work, just not my main set up!
Auto Alignment: Base | Auto Flip: Off
KOs are ideal for this Defense, but we can make this work in Regs & CFM
Tip:These defense is a Concept that can be applied to more than just Dollar. Watch the videos all the way through.
Set Up
Pinch Everything (Global Pinch)
Crash Defensive Line Down
Shade Coverage Underneath
Blitz User
Tip: Standing near the Defensive Line with your user like I do in the video. This will make a huge difference in your Sheds.
Overview
This is great at defending Deep & the Flats, but we're weak in the Intermediate Areas of the field
Make minor adjustments, don't change everything to stop 1 play
Adjusting Hook Curl Depth is a secret tactic few people know about
Watch this video, it's important!
Tip: I love running my Base Defense, and then taking one Defender (usually a Hook Curl) and manning him up onto the most dangerous WR
Set Up
Pinch Defensive Line
Press Coverage (Do not Global Pinch)
Shade Coverage Underneath
Adjust the Top Left Safety
Blitz your User
Tip: This defense is great at attacking Pass Heavy Offenses. This Blitz is best when you don't have any Pass Rushing Abilities on your Defensive Line, as those Trigger Animations that mess up the Blitz
Overview
Your user should start on the side that's Opposite of where you think the run is going
We're looking to Loop across the Defense to make a play with our User, or free up at CPU Defender
This concept works in almost every Madden
RPO Defense is included in the second half of this video. It includes a specific defense and hot fixes
Tip: While this can take a little practice, the value from being able to run this correctly is huge. I run Dollar against nearly EVERY formation, regardless if it's Heavy or not. For more Run D, checkout our "Pro Tips" section
