Will 3 buzz says shift linebackers to right but in the video u say to the left….
Great catch. I fixed it. The video was correct.
On the will 3 buzz blitz, in the video u never tell us to re-blitz our LE, while in the steps, it does tell us to do so, so are we suppose to re-blitz him or not?
Don’t re blitz the DE
i reblitz the lolb for the browns which is mingo in practice and they fly through everytime. add me on psn idontevenlift135 to maybe lab sometime or something.
I like the way the pressure gets in but is there a way to sacrifice the middle coverage n attend to to the top because I get pressure but I might get there like a milli second late to stop his deep lob throw to a speedy receiver
So for the will 3 Buzz
1. Spread line and crash down
2.shift your line backers to the left
3.and do you re blitz the end or not ?
Also for the opposite side do you have to flip the play or can you do it normal and just shift the linebackers the opposite way ?
You don’t have to re-blitz the end. You can if you want to. For your other question you do have to flip the play.
