Quick Set-Up:

  1. Move the RILB up so he lines up at least 4 yards off the line of scrimmage.
  2. Take control of the LILB and move him across from the RT and on the line of scrimmage.
  3. Put the LOLB and ROLB in QB Contain (optional).
  4. Once the ball is snapped, slant him towards the C.
  5. Once the outside linebackers get past the line of scrimmage, release or drop the LILB into pass coverage.

Coaching Points:

  1. This setup of the 3-4 Over – Sting Pinch Zone comes from the left and right outside linebackers.
  2. If  you worry that your opponent might take off and run, consider putting the outside linebackers in QB Contain.
  3. Only five defenders drop into zone coverage.
  4. This setup of the 3-4 Over – Sting Pinch Zone leaves the flats and deep middle zone open.

Final Thoughts:

The 3-4 Over – Sting Pinch Zone brings double edge pressure in Madden 21, without having to do much. By just moving two defenders, it creates the double edge pressure by getting the outside linebackers clear path at the quarterback.
