Man thank you. This to me is by far the best Madden channel. Instead of just uploading "money" plays you actually teach concepts. Keep them coming brother!
Damn, I’ve been reading high to low instead of low to high concepts… glad i didn’t pass up on this video! I see the value. “Don’t pass up the easy plays”. Love it.
This fundamentally changes how I’ll be playing CFB 25. I didn’t really know how to make reads before. Just stare down my red receiver and hope for the best lol
KB is the goat man, Teaching football from a NFL Qb perspective, The only channel like this on UA-cam. Other guys just show cheese plays and not how to read .
Not sure if you’ve done this, but would love to watch you play some regular games of Madden with an eye tracker. Would help a lot with showing exactly what you see play by play
Love your perspective Kurt it brings me back to my film sessions in college haha. We ran stick concept a ton in JUCO. Pre snap read to back side slant, post snap to go route if he's pressed or its a cover 2 corner. Our TE was nice on the options so that was always a good read too
One of the only madden content creators I respect, this dude can take any formation, any concept, and dissect it. Meanwhile, the majority of the madden “content creators” literally spew out the same videos of the same dumb meta that EA puts in madden every year. It’s become such a vanilla, bland, pay to win game and it is so painful to witness.
Have you ever thought about doing a video like this with an eye tracker? It's one thing to hear these explanations (which are very helpful in themselves), but it's another to see what you're actually looking at. Would help a lot with learning what good timing is (how long to be looking at each route). Of course that changes, but in a few of these examples it was hard to tell when you were focusing in which receiver. Seeing that bubble on screen showing what you're looking at could be really helpful, very cool if nothing else.
Thank you for your content. I’ve been able to understand the intricacies of my play selection better watching a number of your videos. Still get impatient sometimes with trying to force something that isn’t there, but I usually can recognize quickly why I made the wrong choice and where the ball needed to go.
Actual knowledgeable QB making me feel better about taking easy completions even if my YPA drops a bit. Keeping drives going with steady completions just feels GOOD.
Good video! Can you go through slide protections Also would like to see under center/ play action. I like to run the ball and want to get better at keeping teams off balance
Thank you tremendously for doing these videos, still fresh at learning this and following you the best I can. Its helped me a lot in CF25, getting a lot better than I used to be lol. Im not too familiar with route names and still figuring out zone coverage.
This is excellent Kurt, thank you. I played in college and I never understood passing progressions like you just taught. You should be coaching if you aren’t already. Question for you: when do you make a choice to go high low on progressions (I noticed you did that once or twice in the game)? Is it with deeper concepts or do you see something with the secondary and LBs that makes you change from low-high?
Love your videos man. I consider myself a student of the game, and now that I have sons that is something I try to provide for them. I’m about to start posting videos when the college game comes out, I would love to chat, pick your brain, and maybe catch a pass from you.
Vs a cover two look and running that corner route, guys will streak RB to open that corner. Then read the corners drop, you could also streak the backside wr to keep FS wide and open the middle for a streak to RB.
My issue in real life and madden, is tunnel visison, not seeing the levrage and locking on one receiver (guess that makes me a bad QB ... LOL) Awesome break breakdowns. Can't want to try the learning guide.
Hey Kurt, loving the videos! At 20:14 when you hit the post, is that a cover 3 that is disguised as a cover 4? Pre snap you have sort of the frowny face shape to the 3rd level defenders, but that left side safety is dropping into what looks like a purple curl to flat. All credit to your videos, thanks!
How do I get sacked less , I’m always getting sacked so when they get close I just throw it and lose interceptions , I love your vids man very knowledgeable
Yea in college football I rarely have time to read more then 2 routes if they aren’t open I’m sacked and I have a beast offensive line in ULTeam so I just have about ten plays that always get open I use then I switch it up to other plays that I will get sacked sometime in😂😂
Question: I watched this video and your "how to read defenses video". I often play a guy who uses a lineman to help defend routes. Does that change these concepts?
I just pick one of the recommended plays but when you pick the plays that you Want By yourself Like trough Formation or Play Type, how many different plays do you Need to get trough a Wohle Game? Just the Same 3-4 or do you Need more?
Bro your knowledge of reading defenses is UNMATCHED. You should create an Ebook. This way you can earn money on this stuff. I appreciate it being free but bro you should monetize your knowledge. No on on this grind can explain this stuff this well.
I’m starting to understand why Rodgers held on to the ball so long. He was waiting for the deep passes to develop. I don’t think he enjoyed taking check downs all game. Where as Brady seemed like he always took the check downs.
1. This is quite simple for people who understand football terminology like I do. 2. This is horrible for people that don't know football terminology like my friend that I'm trying to teach football. (I'm too stupid to teach him myself cause I just know what this stuff means without it ever really being explained to me)
Step 1. Start franchise mode and trade HB away for literally anything else. Step 2. Profit Love the way you don’t get give 2 plays that are 1 play TDs then leave us stranded for every other situation when they finally stop the broken play.
Great video mate. I am from Britian and I'm really wanting to get into American Football, mostly through madden. I can watch our football and my favourite part is the tactical side, player in the half spaces, high press, inverted fullbacks etc but the sheer amount of tactics in this sport is absolutely daunting to say the least. Feel like I'm back in Maths class 😂 So long story long, where should I start? Or what order should I start learning things.
Ex star Texas 3A QB from 2000-2004 here. That being said, I already know all my reads KB. Nothing more for me to learn on any level. And THAT being said, I can’t wait for the NCAA road to redemption to drop mayyyyyyne!! 😂 Yes this was satire. And yes I was a stud back when Bush was in office. Check tape.
This was awesome and SUPER easy to understand as someone who's never played real football, thanks for this!
LOVE this comment

Glad you found it here!
I think that’s my problem. I actually read low to high but I hate taking the easy throws 🤣🤣
This fundamentally changes how I’ll be playing CFB 25. I didn’t really know how to make reads before. Just stare down my red receiver and hope for the best lol
Bro same I just played a game after this video and dropped 42 points to his 21 and I’ve been struggling before
Bro I’m so bad in cfb I need help bad 😭
After following this channel for a while….I was finally able to have a 5k passer in my dynasty ✊🏾🙏🏾

I really appreciate it dude 🫡
I’m a db and this helps me in real life, thank you so much Kurt!!
Lfg dude glad it helps
This has helped me so much with just getting easy completions. I am not playing online, but dominating in Dynasty and RTG. Keep doing your thing!

Freaking incredible to watch these videos and get a pro QBs perspective on what they're seeing and why they make the decisions they make.
Simplified to the fullest..thanks kurt.this will improve me alot !! Real student of the game..

I absolutely love everything about this. This type of content is so helpful
I'm now getting into football and recently bought my first Madden. I wasn't getting anything going but I swear this helped sooo much. Appreciate it ❤

I loved learning about the passing game, THANK YOU! 👍
Good video!
Can you go through slide protections
Also would like to see under center/ play action.

Subscribed! Love the content and truly developing a deeper understanding of the game!
Thanks for posting
Hey Kurt, the last video you made with your KBCUSTOM, could you make that available to download on the madden Community downloads?
100% will next time I’m on
@@KurtBenkert please it would really helped me if you made it available for download
@kurt how will we find it to download
You must go to community files @@tenaciousprod9987
That jet sweep cut was so nasty
Crazyyy haha
Thank you.Very informative.So basically quick passing routes are pick a side and medium passing concepts are low to high?
Thank you!! Great video
This is excellent Kurt, thank you. I played in college and I never understood passing progressions like you just taught. You should be coaching if you aren’t already.
Question for you: when do you make a choice to go high low on progressions (I noticed you did that once or twice in the game)? Is it with deeper concepts or do you see something with the secondary and LBs that makes you change from low-high?
Mostly by timing of how things play out, sometimes it’s situations based
Can you do something similar for the running game? What defenses to look for, what concepts to run, etc.?
Love your videos man. I consider myself a student of the game, and now that I have sons that is something I try to provide for them. I’m about to start posting videos when the college game comes out, I would love to chat, pick your brain, and maybe catch a pass from you.
That Jet Sweep at the end was insane lol. that did not look like it was gonna work

Can I get a playbook based on these 3 concepts! This makes it so much easier to understand. I appreciate the help.
For some reason the Madden 25 beta is still working for me, The QB pump fix on this game affect the DB. So crazy you guys are going to love this s***
How do I get sacked less , I’m always getting sacked so when they get close I just throw it and lose interceptions , I love your vids man very knowledgeable
Dang… so much learning going on!!
Yea in college football I rarely have time to read more then 2 routes if they aren’t open I’m sacked and I have a beast offensive line in ULTeam so I just have about ten plays that always get open I use then I switch it up to other plays that I will get sacked sometime in😂😂
Thanks again Kurt
This is great! What playbook do you suggest?
Thank you bro
When you do a jet sweep press B to hover over the player in motion then hike feel like gives less of a tell
Just like doing hot routes on run plays
Oooo that’s smart
Kurt love your vids my man but how do you do the deep outs and ins? The ones where u can get too the sticks
Question: I watched this video and your "how to read defenses video". I often play a guy who uses a lineman to help defend routes. Does that change these concepts?
Your awesome Kurt.
Are you gonna do any CFB 25 content?
Learning ❤
thank's Kurk it's what I needed
Kurt
How do you get the ball off against a cover 4 press playing against teams like The Cowboys, Bills , Eagles, The Chiefs who have great pass rushers?
Do you have a video similar to this but for stopping things on defense?
Kurt how do you get your wrs and tes to go deep for hot routes
How can I tell what defence there using so ik what plays to use
I just pick one of the recommended plays but when you pick the plays that you Want By yourself Like trough Formation or Play Type, how many different plays do you Need to get trough a Wohle Game? Just the Same 3-4 or do you Need more?
The goat kurtis benkurtis
What play books was he in for defense and offense
Bro your knowledge of reading defenses is UNMATCHED. You should create an Ebook. This way you can earn money on this stuff. I appreciate it being free but bro you should monetize your knowledge. No on on this grind can explain this stuff this well.
I need to learn how to throw the deep ball I always throw interceptions
My brain hurts.
he disrespect of the "wrong side" jet sweep lmao
How do I motion people ?
as far as the weedwhacker goes... you had me at premium head
These games are so easy when your. Composed. Need to teach that 😂😂 one int I’m done 28-0 I’ll lose that
But Kurt, 99% of Madden players would tell you the slant is supposed to be a third window throw completed at the opposite sideline vs zone 🤦🤣
Don't just be letting the kid scheme on you; he will always make you rage quit.
I’m starting to understand why Rodgers held on to the ball so long. He was waiting for the deep passes to develop. I don’t think he enjoyed taking check downs all game. Where as Brady seemed like he always took the check downs.
Tired of being trash and don’t know what to do and I’m learning defenses thank god u page pop up ima be nice at college football now
Real ones know this came from his E-Book
Hell yeah 🫡
Not him quitting bc he knew he got clipped 🥲🤣

How do u pump fake
Double tap the wr button
U Don't realize how bad you'd be if u played mut. Pick artist and flat zone would have u shook in ur seat
