Beating man coverage is essential to moving the ball on offense in Madden 16. Of course, one of the primary ways to beat man coverage is to run the ball.
However, in those 3rd down situations you need plays and formations that can beat man coverage with consistency and that’s exactly what this formation and these plays do.
Playbook: Baltimore Ravens
Formation: Gun Y-Trips HB Wk
Plays:
- Slot Drive
- Four Verticals
- PA Slot Out
Personnel:
I like to have my fastest WR in the slot and two guys on the outside who have good catching or catch in traffic ratings. Basically put your 2 best WR’s on the outside and your fastest guy in the slot.
Setups:
Slot Drive
- None
Four Verticals
- Hot route Slot WR to a drag route
PA Slot out
- Cancel the Play Action
Post-snap reads:
Slot Drive
– Slot –> X/square –> Tight End –> Running back
Four Verticals
– Slot –> TE –> Running back
PA Slot Out
– Slot –> TE
Overview: On any of these plays, feel free to hot route your running back or other WR’s to different routes to compliment the man-beaters that are already in place.
