Other Effective Plays

Playbook: New Orleans Saints

Formation: Singleback Y Off Trio

Play: PA Y Glance (Man Beater)

Setup:

  1. (Optional) Put your tight end on a curl route. (This hot route makes it work better against cover 1 but not as good against cover 2 man).
  2. (Optional) Block your running back to cancel the play action

Reads:

  1. Your main read on this play against Cover 0 or Cover 1 is the X/square receiver on the stop and go route. He should leave his guy in the dust
  2. Against Cover 2 Man defense, look to the RB/R1 receiver deep

Overview: Use this play for a free 1 play touchdown anytime your opponent is sitting in cover 1 or cover 0.

Playbook: New Orleans Saints

Formation: Singleback Wing Tight

Play: PA FL Stretch (Cover 1 and Cover 0 Beater)

Setup:

  1. None required

Reads:

  1. Just hit your X/square receiver deep for an easy touchdown

Overview: Some people like to sit in Cover 1 all game until you prove you can score on it. This play will get your opponent out of that defense real quick.

Playbook: New Orleans Saints

Formation: Singleback Wing Tight

Play: Mesh

Setup:

  1. Hot route your X/square receiver to a comeback route
  2. Motion him 2-3 steps in to the right and snap the ball (See the video for timing)

Reads:

  1. Against man to man defense, your X/square receiver should be wide open

Overview: This concept absolutely destroys man to man coverage in Madden 21. It will likely be patched eventually but it can be quite useful until then.

Love the playbook so far my only advice would be you guys should label the contents by what play beats which cover as well so we don’t have to go through the whole book to see which plays bear which coverage. Like link each play to the coverage it beats so we can also view it that way or in game if we forget the set up or formation it’s in.
