Tips on stopping the play-action pass

[Primetime]

If you have a fast DE, play contain on that side. It'll suck the QB in every time.

i've found zone defense to be completly useless this year.

Especially against short passes and passes to the flats.

If thats the case goto nickle and blitz the nickle back from that side, he'll get to the QB much faster than the CB from the outside would.

Ok I just labbed a bunch of blitzes from DBs from the outside. The problem is they don't blitz from the outside, they start to blitz, see the play action, bite, then go running towards the middle of line of scrimmage..lol. They don't go on a straight path from the outside from their position. I just labbed this a ton.

The problem could be I'm using the falcons and our Dbs suck and have poor recongnition so maybe that has something to do with it??

I just labbed this play alot it's nasty this year, see for yourself, Singleback - ACE ROLL RT -

CPU has the blue play tight end on his right or the TE on his left coming across or the WR running a corner. Because the zones are so bad players just lose track of were they are supposed to be.

The only close to stopping it I got was just using 4-3 under - overload strong, and use the RE to just spring out to where the blue pattern is going.
