Question 1

What formation do you use for Texas 2 Man Contain Blitz in Madden?

Accepted Answer

Use 33 Single Mug. The page calls it the best formation for Texas stunts. From there, spread your defensive line, go into stunts, and call Left Tex 2 Man or Right Tex 2 Man.

Question 2

How do you apply contain in Texas 2 Man Blitz?

Accepted Answer

After calling the stunt, press Right Bumper and Left Bumper to apply contain. Build separate macros for each side, Left Tex 2 Man and Right Tex 2 Man, and don't combine them into one macro.

Question 3

Which side do you call Texas 2 Man from?

Accepted Answer

Call it from the opposite side of the QB's throwing hand. For example, Trevor Lawrence is right-handed, so you call Left Tex 2 Man. The pressure comes off the left edge and he rolls right into it.

Question 4

Why is Texas 2 Man better than Texas 4 Man against mobile QBs?

Accepted Answer

Texas 4 Man has defensive ends looping inside, which kills contain and lets fast QBs escape outside for easy yards. Texas 2 Man keeps edge pressure without abandoning the outside, so the QB stays in the pocket under duress.

Question 5

When should you use Texas 2 Man Contain Blitz?

Accepted Answer

Use it when you're facing a mobile QB who keeps escaping the pass rush, or when Texas 4 Man is getting beaten by outside scrambles. It works best when you know the QB's throwing hand so you can set the pressure on the right side.
