Madden 16: Gun Split Close – WR Corner

In today’s free Madden 16 tip, we are going over a money play that you can use to beat both man to man and zone coverages in Madden 16.  It is found in the Indianapolis Colts playbook and the play is called WR Corner.

You can check out how to run it below.

Madden 16 Money Play: Gun Split Close - WR Corner

Playbook: Indianapolis Colts

Formation: Gun Split Close

Play: WR Corner

Setup:

  1. Put the X/square receiver on a drag route.

Reads:

  1. The first read is the B/circle receiver on the corner route.
  2. Next, the X/square receiver on a drag route.
  3. Lastly, the tight end out of the backfield to the flats.

Overview: This play is effective against zone, because the A/X route is angled and makes the safeties commit to him. The tight end out of the backfield and the drag across the middle, brings all the zones up. This leaves the B/circle receiver wide open to the corner for a big gain. If they user this just simply check it down to the drag route or tight end.

Let’s take a look at this play in more detail.
