Madden 17 Strategy: Gun Bunch Wk - Mesh Post

Playbook: San Diego Chargers

Formation: Gun Bunch Wk

Play: Mesh Post

Setup

  1. Hot route your A/X receiver to a slant route
  2. (Optional) Do whatever you want with your running back

Reads:

  1. Your first read is your A/X receiver on the slant
  2. If he is covered, look to your B/circle receiver on the post
  3. You can also look to the X/square receiver underneath or your tight end in the flats

Overview: This play has a lot of options which makes it hard for your opponent to decide which receiver to try to take away.

Let’s break this play down a little further.
