The Sam Will Blitz 3 plays out of the Nickel 3-3-5 Wide formation do a great job of bringing pressure from up the middle. They do take a little bit of practice to get the positioning correct.

What is this playbook in custom?
It is Nickel 3-3-5 wide in custom playbooks. Same as it is here.
Having a lot of trouble getting pressure with the placement of the ROLB can’t seem to figure it out or it just doesn’t work .. not sure
You just have to practice the positioning a little.
i noticed that you can position whatever OLB you want and you can put the other in a purple or blue and then choose to play the pass. this works the same for me just better coverage.
Ya good call. It does work it just isn’t as consistent for me.
I cannot find the 3-3-5 wide in the all plays section of custom playbooks, can you help me?
It is under Nickel 3-3-5 Wide 9 in custom playbooks
I don’t see this one in the custom playbooks either, the only set is bear.
It is classified in the Nickel formations
Need a defense with a nice blitz and coverage behind it
Having trouble even finding this play. Formation Nickel/ Set 3-3-5 wide 9?
It is in there. Just choose the San Francisco 49ers playbook on defense and you will see it.
is the sam will 3 blitz pressure from right side do u flip the play or is it just the olb that you move back and to the side a bit ?
did the newest patch take away the blitz where you pinch and crash middle and move the ROLB out to change his angle? hasnt gotten the same type of b gap pressure for me since the newest update came out
