To learn more football, I made an Ebook that teaches EVERYTHING you need to know, as if you’re a rookie entering the NFL.

How do I expand the route options? I don't see corner routes.
@vespasian8572 you need hot route master
I know this was 2 months ago, but good shit man. Ya know I looked you up on wiki too see if you was for real. You had a short stint in the NFL which I don't understand your smart you seem to know your shit. You obviously love football cause your a Madden fan. May I ask what happen dude? You played with falcons 49ers , and Packers, those are some top teams.
Kurt is like the cool uncle that had a cool job when you were a kid and could never understand it, but once you grew up yall sat down and had a drink and he explained it all, Great video Kurt, you da GOAT!
#1 comment on my channel hands down
@@KurtBenkerthow do you beat people that man to man people mix with zone? It gets confusing reading where to throw it
Kurt the coolest UA-camr out there man, you for the people!! Thanks for the help
@@brandonjakubowski899zig routes stop that
@@KurtBenkertcan we get a video like this but on how to make motions as useful as possible? u say motions are good but i’m not always sure how to make the most out of them
Learning to read defenses and coverages is probably the one thing which will increase your enjoyment of watching football more than anything else.
They need to change the camera angle of the TV broadcast so we can see the whole field
@@idgafmpthat would be the fcking best!
@@idgafmp I believe they did that during TNF for a little while a few
Years back
@@idgafmp fr. they give you the angle sometimes in the replays, but I hate how often the default shot ends up cutting off everything beyond the LBs.
@@FreshPrincex4 they have a view on prime games that is the all 22 all the time even though last year. It's called "prime vision" or something like that.
im decent at madden when it comes to stick skill. but when it comes to reading defense and makin offensive reads i struggle, these vids definitely help, appreciate the knowledge
This is why Kurt is one of the best Madden UA-camrs. He actually teaches you how to play and see the game. This is something that is going to help my team out a lot. Appreciate man. 🐐
I definitely agree 👍🏾
As a lineman, I’ve struggled my entire life, irl and in Madden, to understand the way that defenses work beyond the guy right in front of me. Kurt just taught me in 17 minutes. 100% goat. Thank you dude 🙏
Madden needs to add you for educational tutorials in the game, like practice mode or training camp in franchise. This is amazing stuff
Like seriously , I watch football breakdowns from real football to learn to be better at Madden. But other youtubers only focus on Madden glitches and not football fundamentals
If you like the Defensive side of the ball and want to stop everything Kurt talked about in this video, run Cover 9 Show 2 and Cover 3 Buzz Seam out of Nickel. These Defenses do a great job of disguising the pre-snap coverage, which confuses many novice Madden players. Anyways, great work, Kurt! Love the content. Keep it coming.
Everybody just comes out in base align regardless so pre snap coverage is usually always hidden
If you notice this, start running the rock! Flip your run to the opposite side; since they are base aligned, they won't be able to adjust properly, giving you great leverage on blocking schemes. @@NasTheGod215
I love the Flood concept vs cover 3. Easy high/low on the flat defender. Can run it a variety of different ways but it keeps the read the same for the QB
Gonna have to add in next video
absolutely. so many variations you can run. as a standard play "Singleback Wing Slot - PA Y-Drag Wheel" is great. I love that TE route. its like a checkdown and a late developing deep ball at different points in your progression.
also a big fan of having your TE run a cross route the opposite direction of the flood. The route develops at the perfect time so that its right where you want it to be after you read the flood routes.
you can throw your RB on a wheel route as well, which enables you to attack cover 3 up the seam with the wheel route while still having multiple windows over the middle of the field with the flood.
I also love dagger to the WR1 with the Slot WR clearing out the safety.(dagger plus that ability to generate extra separation on the last cut of a route is *chefs kiss*). I like to audible my RB on a Texas route as well. overall you get an early and late window to hit the crosser. with the ability to hit the Texas as a checkdown between the two windows for the cross. There's a whole bunch you can do with RB audibles in order to attack pretty much every kind of coverage or hedge your bets so that your plays all have routes which beat man and multiple types of zone.
@@e2rqey Whenever i run pa y drag wheel the de always sheds in 1 second and i cant even throw
Really wish match coverage worked properly to stop that concept better.. Played a guy who ran flood out of empty set where he motion his WR to other side and it make my Boundary and Field Corners switch sides of the field.. lame glitch in the code of the game and got exploited all game lol
@@Rez12121 I usually full sprint immediately on the rollout. You still have the flood routes and the RB checkdown if it gets too hairy. But if you can, try to pull it off throw all the way back across the field to the TE. If you don't sprint you're gonna get wrecked.
Also, I will run the abilities that make you immune to defensive pressure when on the run, as well as fearless, without inside or outside deadeye. Instead just getting the accuracy from dots so I can use two more abilities instead of both inside and sideline deadeye. Since it's easy to just built Dots and keep it.
Then when you have gunslinger, the bullet throw leading pass perk, no throw penalty from pressure, and the deadeye accuracy from Dots. I'm able to hit it pretty consistently. Although I practiced it a lot and with Myles Garrett lined up on that edge position as well. I figure if I can pull it off against him, I should be able to with anyone.
That boy Kurt in his bag makin moves in madden and d’s 1v1s. 🐐 status

You’ve helped me be a better QB in madden 24 putting guys in motion or changing routes to pull defenders in certain directions has made my experience way more enjoyable
I don't play Madden, I just want to understand football so when I'm watching it I know what's happening.
Thank you! 😊
Defense for Dummies or Reading defense 101. Great video to help some of us to understand what you are saying or what you are thinking. Just another quality video. Job well done!
Thanks dude 🤟🏼
I dont even play madden but you have a way of explaining things in a simple way to the common man, ive gotten back into ncaa football 14 because of your vids
I started playing madden about 4 months ago. I was getting super frustrated and then I found your videos. I'm still not good at reading the defense but I can see my mistakes a lot clearer now.
What I learned is that more than anything study the tendencies of your opponent because humans are creatures of habit
frustrated lol its been so easy to score that last 3 years pick any running play hit A and just keep juking and spinning... just hit A quick hick and throw 50 /50 balls all day magically watch the catch and TD
@@triptrip8353 sounds like you been playing madden for a while
Kurt.. I hope the Falcons bring you back to compete for the QB1 job
Thank you kurt. This helped me understand cover 3, i always throw picks into coverage against it. i love the way you're so vocal on offense and talk through your thoughts pre-snap. really makes me feel like I'm learning while watching. Good luck on your redemption series! ill be watching the whole way! much love
Great video, I feel like understanding how defenses and offenses work with blitzes, coverages, and routes makes watching football more fun. There's so much depth and layers to nfl offenses and defenses, it's fascinating to delve into
Best video you have posted yet (aside from your redemption series), I would love to see more like this. I am sure you can go even more in depth on these coverages. This is the kind of content I LOVE!
I'd also love to see how to adjust a defense based on what you see on offense. I know you could reverse engineer it from these instructions, but I think both perspectives makes it more clear.
Great insight KB, thanks for hooking us up!
I’ve thrown way less picks in madden since I started watching your videos. Like i understood the differences in coverages and stuff before but I couldn’t see it real time, now I see it.
Seeing all the checkdowns vs cover 3 just makes me think of James white in the 28-3 game .
I’m really enjoying your channel. I found it via Instagram reels. I also love that i have commented that your videos stating that you help teach the reading of defenses, then you drop a deep in depth video a couple days later.
You are really helping me destroy my friends in madden. Every single time they ask I say my man Kurt taught me some stuff 😂
This is awesome man. There are some similar videos up on UA-cam about how to read coverages. I think you see the "big picture" of offense and football better than others do. You're also an awesome teacher, and you're really good at communicating your thoughts. Last night I watched this video, hit practice mode to try out come concepts, and then the next game I threw for like 330 yds with 4 TD's and no turnovers on All-Madden. I also teach guitar, and I might honestly end up taking some inspiration from your teaching style into my lessons.
Wow, Thanks for this video. It's complex but the light came on. I'm going to rewatch it and train myself to see space. Keep going DEEP with QB content! Bring the passion for the position. This will bless the next generation of QB Who are Madden Gamers.
Kurt is for the people! I love watching your shorts and definitely found this video helpful. Please do make more like this, especially with more vs against other players. Great info, great teacher, and most importantly - very fun!👌
WE NEED MORE READING DEFENSES WHOOPS KURT! IT HIT DIFFERENT
Otw
Damn right THANK YOU KURT ALWAYS BRO MUCH LOVE 🤘🏻🐐🐐🐐
I've been playing Madden since I was about 7 and barely got good within the last few years.
I've been picking my older brother apart with route changes to create openings and my run game.
Forever my favorite person to play against.
Not only is this a good video for madden players, but its a good walk through for young quarter backs that are trying to understand the processes they need to go through to identify defense and break them down.
pretty awesome how you explain it and go through your reads.
Great video Kurt. Of course, to understand offense at a high level, you have to have a high level understanding of how the defense is attacking you. The next video I would like to see is how you see defense from a QB's perspective. Like, how to you typically run your defense on Madden. What adjustments you like, or how people can up their game on defense for those who struggle. Thanks!
This is so sick man! The redemption videos got me into motioning the offense and making hot routes. Now hearing how an NFL Qb reads a defense is so cool to me.
I will watch every second of this video, and retain absolutely none of it as soon as the ball is kicked, but that’s not your fault, I’m sure you’re doing an amazing job of explaining it all. I’m still gon get to that line and blind fire like I have for the past 30 years
Just subscribed! And so much better at madden since watching you break down coverages!
This is great content, Kurt. You’re absolutely killing it man, keep up the good work!
Absolutely love the video and the concept. It’s very helpful to understand the “why”!
Fuggin amazing dude. I love to see this kind of a qb mine. It helps allot. Super impressive!
That was a great help! I’ve played Madden forever and haven’t really had it explained like that. Looking for more vids thanks
Just found your channel and I’m a huge football guy and consider myself very knowledgeable. That being said, these videos help take my knowledge of the game and break it down for madden so you’re a legend 😂. Let’s get one to help me run the ball against different defenses next so I can keep that lead 👌
Love the content, Kurt! Keep killing it
Great vid! Love the breakdown & mathematics!!
Hey u broke that down pretty good! That’s one of my problems is reading the defense like I’m supposed to. My pocket presence is not all that good either it’s been alittle struggle with that too but yeah thanks for bringing it more to the light for me👊🏿🤟🏾✌🏽
This was always my favorite part of playing QB was the mind games you end up playing with the Linebackers and the Dime safeties for hidden flat coverages and QB spy’s
This video helped me allot looking at coverage differently
Love the work mate
Dude thank you so much for this video. This is beyond helpful.
Great video Kurt giving the secrets of madden and how to get easy dubs.. one that at @11:10 you could have hit RB for an early throw after he broke for either a touchdown or atleast right at the 5
Great vid, you do a good job explaining these concepts
This is a great video! Hands down one of the best I’ve seen as far as concepts and ideology. What do you have for defense.
Love the coverage breakdown
This might be the most helpful video I’ve seen on this topic. Any chance of a video about how to call the correct defenses?
I’ve watched 3-4 videos and you make the most sense bro💯💯💯💡💡💡
amazing video I've been looking for this exact thing thank you! subbed!
Need you to show us how to play defense in madden. Appreciate your vids always kurt
love the channel man! didnt realize how much there was to learn
I learn so much from this channel about football. I only know baseball and soccer very well and I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to all these plays and stuff. Thank you for the great content.
Watching this video makes me realize football is chess
This actually confused tf out of me even more than before 😵💫
I know you’ve done some videos on using an NFL play call sheet in Madden, but what if you tried using the most Meta madden offensive and defensive pro play setups?
Would be interesting to see your analysis on what MCS players do and why it works / wouldn’t work in real life compared to madden.
These type of videos are so good man appreciate it
Yes this is just what I needed! Thanks Kurt😁
I’m def gonna give this a few watches. Reading defenses is def my weakness and your breakdown here is helpful.
Glad it’s here to help 🤝
This is great stuff. Thank you. I’m good at manipulating space running the ball out of I, weak, and strong sets but continue to struggle passing. This is very helpful and I’ll probably watch this 6+ times! 😂
appreciate this so much. ive seen so many tutorials on youtube and this is the one that finally clicked for me.
Let’s go man
My classic go to in the older games (dont play the newer ones cause they removed my favorite parts) is just read the safeties, I usually have at least two deep routes so if one safety drops in robber than one of the deep ones should be a makeable throw. great video. All about spacing and leverage!
I think it would be cool to see a series of this in the same style as your redemption series, like “what if I played defense” or something like that
Yeah, should do more tactical, understanding of the game type of content, very awesome tbh
This video helps alot. Thanks Kurt!

Thank you for the tips man! I appreciate it!❤
Love you!!!!
I love the idea of this video. Not just oh here is basic cover w and cover 3. I like the explaining and the shading plus the game play. My only thing is running corners on cover 3 without a clear out lol
This dudes the man. Thanks for the helpful content. Reading defenses adds another level to madden. Appreciate it. Go niners!!!
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
Love content like this.
You the GOAT 🐐 Kurt🐐🐐🐐
Kurt. This is a game changer. I have never seen the game like this! Excited to try all this out!
🤟🏼🤟🏼
Bro, this is the most helpful video on reading defense I've seen. Thank you! It makes sense now!
Lfg man
Appreciate this, please keep them coming
Can I hit you up on IG? I wouldn’t ever use Telegram outside of this one instance
Thank you for this video . I will need to watch it 10 times to get it in my head .
Love this shit keep it up G
This is what we needed great work
🫡🫡🫡
Wow! How have I not seen this channel sooner. Love these breakdowns. I have a question. What's the point/benefit of id'ing the mike LB?
Baller vid! Show the same w press and base align
AMAZING video! Any chance we can get this type of video but for defense?
thxxx great like always
Ive been playing Madden for a few years and eventually I taught myself to see the field the way you are seeing it. If I wanted to share a UA-cam tutorial for a beginner starting out, I would definitely share this video. You did an excellent job explaining defenses. What offensive playbook do you use? I abuse that Trey Offset - Inside Zone run all the time, its literally broken
Great vid!!!
Benkert Bangers can’t be beat
Much appreciated
Thank you for making it easy to read the defense I really it now I know what to do 💪🏽💪🏽
This is amazing. Thank you!
Thanks dude!!
Great video, maybe you could use instant replay to help with explanations after you play a snap. Idk if it’s available in practice!
Thanks Kurt love you and also drafted you in my fantasy draft welcome to Tampa Bay in my vr world
Love your content bro! You need to start getting them sponsors… idk why they calling you
Been enjoying your content so much I bought your book Real Football and highly recommend it, keep it up 🐐
Dude this is lit so glad you’re loving it all
Yo I could listen to this dude talk football all day lol
I love ur vids because I can act like i know more than i actually know after I watch them.
Thank you. Need this for franchise playoffs this week. Won my wildcard game last night. 🙏
Lfg keep it rolling
Great explanation.
