Simulated Pressure

4 Formations19 Sets47 Plays

Overview

The Simulated Pressure tag identifies plays that show blitz pre-snap but rush only four, dropping a mugged linebacker or safety into coverage while a defensive lineman or edge player peels off into the vacated zone. Across 4 formations, 19 sets, and 47 plays, this tag covers looks like Single Mug, 2-4 Dbl Mug, and 3-3 Over that force the offense to identify the free rusher and adjust protection to pressure that never comes. Filter by Simulated Pressure when you want disguised four-man rushes that keep coverage integrity intact, giving you a safe answer against quick passing attacks without the blown assignments that come with true six and seven man blitzes.
