Madden 16 Tips: Gun Split Dolphin - Z Spot

Playbook: Miami Dolphins

Formation: Gun Split Dolphin

Setup:

  1. Hot route your B/circle receiver to a drag route
  2. Motion your tight end (in the backfield) to the left

Reads:

  1. Against man to man defense, your X/square receiver on the route that looks kind of like a slant will be open
  2. You can also look to your running back in the flat who will usually be open as well
  3. Then look to the slot receiver running the corner route or your B/circle receiver on the drag route

Overview:  This play usually has 3 or 4 different receivers who will get open against man to man defense.  Against zones, you still have a few good options but the way we went over this play, it is designed to beat man to man defense in Madden 16.

Let’s go through how everything works in this play.

Here is how the play should look right before we snap the ball.  Notice the tight end is motioned out to the left.
