Madden Filmroom Updates

Quarter Normal 3 Deep Man - One of the best coverages in football is the Cover 3. In Madden though this is not the case. I have taken time to figure out what Cover 3 plays the best and can be relied on in a game situation. The general thought from a defensive standpoint is that this type of coverage will always have us in position to defend the pass. I know you're thinking... aren't all defenses designed to defend whatever is thrown at it? That train of thought is correct but the Cover 3 as a design should put 2 players around any pass threat. I have gone through the different cover 3 defenses and found that the Quarter Normal 3 Deep Man gives us the best chance to stay successful against the pass and run.

4-3 Normal Free Fire Flip - This week in the filmroom we want to take a look at a defense we showed showed back in the August 15th edition of the filmroom. Instead of running the way we showed in that write up, we want to make a few different adjustments. The first adjustment is to flip the play at the play call screen. Instead of the MLB getting the pressure on the QB like it was on the 15th, it will be the LOLB who brings the heat. Here is how we set up the 4-3 Normal Free Fire Flip.

Singleback Tight WR Option - We have had some VG forum members show some interest in the Tampa Buccaneers Playbook over the last few weeks. We thought this week we would take a look at one of the pass plays from that playbook that we really like. The Singleback Tight Option is a good play to call against zone and man coverage because of the pass route run by the FL. Below we show how we like run it against Cover 0 coverage.

Washington Redskins Playbook Breakdown - This week we take a look at five plays from the Washington Redskins playbook. Instead of just showing five random plays from different formations, we thought we would show how to string five plays together from the Singleback Stack Double Weak to beat Bump-n-Run man coverage. Four of the five plays we show below are pass. We also used the same motion for all five plays to give each of them the same look to keep our opponent from knowing which play is being called.
