How do you stop a play action on defense?

Question

Me and my friend play madden 08 sometimes and he always picks the titans. So he always picks play action and he runs when the ball with vince young when there is no one open. Or he passes it when he seems like hes gonna run. So how do you stop that kind of play on defense?

Answer 1

Use a defense that spies the QB...Try a zone blitz with your MLB spying the QB.  If you can get behind the line you will disrupt the run and trust your DB's to do their jobs.  Another trick is call a pass defense but play the run.  Use a Nickle or Dime package and sub safeties for the additional CB's use your extra safeties to stuff the run.

Answer 2

Call defenses that use a QB Spy.  THat will make one of your linebackers slide with the quarterback.  As the quarterback moves outside the pocket, the linebackers will go as well without getting too far out of position.  With that linebacker spying the QB, you should be able to focus on pass defense.

Answer 3

gamble/blitz

submarine/fallback
