In today’s Madden School tutorial, we are going over a way to beat cover 2 defenses deep downfield.
Let’s dive right into it.
Playbook: New York Jets
Formation: Bunch Wk
Play: Jets DBL Trail
Setup:
- Put your RB/R1 receiver on a streak and motion him to the left
Reads:
- Your first read is the B/circle on the drag route if you feel pressure
- A/X can also come opponent on the in route
- If we have time. we want to hit the X/square receiver on the Post Corner route deep.
Overview: This is a great Cover 2 beater and can be used often because even if your opponent isn’t in a cover 2, you still have great check downs options.
Cover 2 sink is a much harder coverage to beat tahn tampa when needing deeper yardage. So if we can see some cover 2 sink beaters thats better. Otherwise we are just seeing corner routes over and over.
