How We Play Defense
Same framework as offense, same test — would a real coordinator call it, and would a real offense have a chance? Three ideas carry the section:
- Rush for real. Pressure is earned by rushing people, not by hiding eight defenders in a net.
- Play one position. You control one defender — play him the way someone at that position plays.
- Line up honestly. Disguise is football. Manufacturing a defender the called play never had is not.
The hard lines below are the ones either coach can settle from one frame or one screenshot. The rest are standards, judged on patterns rather than single snaps, and ruled through Gameplay & Settings → Playing in Good Faith.
