Madden 17: Gun Tight Flex – WR Corners

Beating man to man defense in Madden 17 is just as important as it has been in previous games.  That is why we are breaking down one simple way to shred man to man coverage in Madden 17.

Check out the full breakdown below.

Playbook: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Formation: Gun Tight Flex

Play: WR Corners

Setup:

1. Put the B/circle receiver on a drag route

Reads:

1. The X/square receiver is the first read over the middle
2. If he is covered, look to the drag route underneath
3. The final two reads are the wide receivers running corner routes

Overview: This play is a great man beater, there is a lot of separation on all of the routes in this play. Make the correct read and throw it to the open receiver for a decent gain.

Let’s dive right into the breakdown.
