In today’s Madden School tip, we are starting a breakdown of the Gun Stack Y-Flex formation.
You can check out the first play below.
Playbook: Atlanta Falcons
Formation: Gun Stack Y-Flex
Play: PA Read
Setup:
- Hot route the B/circle receiver to a streak route or a slant route
Reads:
- Your first read is the Y/triangle receiver on the deep cross
- Then look to the X/square receiver on the deep post
- Your final read is the A/X receiver on the checkdown
Overview: This play is a great cover 2 and Cover 3 beater, as it attacks the deep sideline and also the deep middle while forcing the user to put a flat route on the right side of the field. It also destroys man coverage because of the whip route and the 2 post routes.
