Strong Close Quick Toss

Tosses and run plays in general do not work nearly as well in madden 12 as they have in years past.  That means finding a run play that consistently works is even more important than ever before.  In this madden-school.com free madden 12 tip, you will learn how to run this play for consistent yards.  Ideally, you will want to call this with a fast or good running back like Chris Johnson, MJD, etc.

Formation: Strong Close

Play: Quick Toss

Setup:

  1. Against man defense, motion your receiver on the right to the left
  2. Against zone defense, leave the play as is

Why this play works:  This play works especially well against man defense, becauseby motioning your receiver over, you clear out an entire side of the field allowing a good running back to get out to the sideline and cut upfield.

Classic play, still very effective. You can apply this technique to all of your runs. Great work.
