Warrior General Games

Is there a particular defensive formation that will cover the TE better than any other? I would also like to double team the TE if possible.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!!!!

I can't figure out how to stop the TE either. Particularly out of the Shotgun 3 WR set.

The last game we played a team that attempted 17 passes to the TE and completed 16 of them. We typically don't run this scheme on the Shotgun 3 WR sets but changed to it just to try and double up the TE because we knew they were going to go to him a lot. We also went to a 3-4 against the strong I formation because the TE got a lot of his catches against this formation in prior games. I don't know if it worked better or not because they only attempted 1 pass to the TE out of this formation.

Here are the plays.

The two LOLB's builds are very solid. The individual tactics were set to close coverage, go for pick with safety help, pass focus.

Any suggestions? Also, does anyone know if the pass to the TE out of the 3 WR set is considered medium or long?

Against the shotgun 3WR you have to get to the QB, which is easy, because you know they only pass medium or long, so you have time to get there..

Play 4-3 cover zero wekside shift and blitz the ROLB.

It's hard to cover agile TEs when you have 20 more points in speed than agility imo.
