In today’s free tip we are going over a fairly basic way to pick up a lot of yards against all types of defenses. The formation we run this play out of puts our best receiver in the slot by default which creates a huge matchup problem for the defense. We have the full breakdown below.
Playbook: Green Bay Packers
Formation: Gun Pack Trips
Play: Stick Nod
Setup:
- Hot route your square/X receiver to a streak route
- Hot route your running back to a swing left
- Hot route your r1/rb receiver to a slant route
Reads:
- Your primary read is your X/A receiver on the stick nod route
- If he is covered, look to your r1/rb receiver on the slant route if he is open
Madden-School.com Pro Tip: Against man to man defense, lead pass to the left (to the middle of the field) which should allow your receiver to pick up extra yards after the catch.
