Setup:
- None
Reads:
- Throw the bubble screen
- If the screen is not there, throw it away or take off with the QB
Overview: This is another play that your opponent always must think about.

Play: Dig
Setup:
- Put the RB/R1 receiver on a hitch
- Put the Y/Triangle receiver on a zig route
- Put the B/O receiver on a streak
Reads:
- First look for the A/X tight end and the RB/R1 receiver on the hitch routes
- Then look for the Y/Triangle receiver on the zig route
- Finally find the X/Square receiver over the middle of the field
Overview: This play is unique because the Tight End is on a hitch and you do not find that much in Madden. This play is only to be used a couple times a game when needing short yardage. 3rd and 4th and short are the times to use this when needing to pick up a first down.
nice …my play from this set is drive …i got it from a youtuber a ways back but i will def add the rest of this to my scheme good looking out madden school
Surprised to see someone actually covering this. I loventhis formation. Typically run it with NO for Slot Apprentice but been using the apprentice routes less of late. Gonna try it with BMore and work on that draw. Of course I only use it sparingly with Old Man Drew. Thanks guys
