In this Madden 12 tip, we are breaking down a quick pass that you can use with any team. Quick passing should be mixed into your madden nfl 12 offensive scheme in order to keep the defense off balance.
Playbook: Houston Texans
Formation: I-Form Close
Play: Texans Drag
Setup:
- Choose the Dual HB package
- Hot route your circle/b receiver to an extended out route
- Hot route your tight end to a streak
- Motion your fullback (2nd string hb) out to the left and snap the ball right when he gets past the receiver
Reads:
- Your first read is always your fullback on a quick pass.
- If he is covered, look to pass to the receiver on the drag route or on the extended out route
- Against cover 2 defenses, your tight end should be open over the middle of the field for a nice gain.
Overview: This play works because your fullback/2nd string halfback gets a running start on his way out to the flats because you sent him in motion. The only consistent way to stop that route is with a cover 2 or manaually defending it. On the right side of the field, you have an over/under read with your receiver on the streak and your receiver running the 10 yard out. Against zone coverage, one of them should always be open.
