Today we are going over a play found in the Pittsburgh Steelers playbook in Madden 16.  It is really hard to stop unless your opponent knows it is coming.  When you mix it in with other plays from the same formation you will have a pretty good scheme.

You can check out the full breakdown below.

Madden 16 Tips: Gun Snugs - Steeler Crosses

Madden School Unlimited

Playbook: Pittsburgh Steelers

Formation: Gun Snugs

Play: Steeler Crosses

Setup:

  1. Hot route your A/X receiver to a streak route

Reads:

  1. Your first look is your B/circle receiver in the flat.  Most of the time, he won’t be open
  2. If he is covered, you look to either of the receivers over the middle

Overview: This play is really hard to defend since you have routes that beat both man and zone defenses.  If your opponent has really good user skill, he may be able to shut down this play but 99% of people won’t be able to stop it unless they know it is coming.
