Inside Cross (pre-set audible)

I have been looking forward to today’s release! The possibilities with formation are almost endless. This is almost a SUPER formation. How many times have I mention “hybrid” formations? Think of the Gun Bunch TE formation as the SUPER Hybrid formation, the KING of the hybrid’s. Here’s why:

· Bunch Trips

· TE on the LOS (line of scrimmage)

· HB in the backfield can be motioned to the left of the QB (great for blocking purposes) and motioned to the right for quick passing and one v one options with the HB.

· Tight formation

· Ability to motion to create different match ups and different adjusted sets

· Ability to tell if our opponent is in Man or Zone pre-snap

Each of the above need to be guarded differently in order to successfully defend them. Lets take a look a quick glimpse of some of these options:

· Bunch Trips

-Overload on the Trips side. The defense needs as many defenders as there are offensive players to properly guard all the quick options ie. Flat, corner, and Curl/streak

-Defense needs to shade the flat to guard the quick hitting flat routes. (much easier to do in real life, in Madden it requires us to manually move our flat defender out to the flat)

-Trips formations eat pressure for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With the overload on one side we will be able to immediately find holes in the defense when they are bringing pressure.

o TE on LOS

- In order to properly bring pressure from the strong side (TE side) we the defense needs to overload this side. We can, in most situations; guarantee pressure won’t be coming from the strong side.

- The TE in the seam of the defense can KILL Cover 2’s and Cover 3’s downfield. The defense is forced to guard this route manually, play cover 4, or man up this player.

o HB in backfield/Motion Left of QB/Motion to the flat

-The unique ability of being able to motion our HB either to the left or right can cause some real headaches for our opponent. We can pick up pressure extremely well when we motion the HB to the left of the QB. We want to block the HB a certain way and then motion him to the left. The only other formation in the game where we can do this is from Trips TE.

-In my scheme I talked about how when I come out in the Gun Deuce formation I like using the WR HB package. This gets a taller and faster player at the HB position than most teams can offer. The reason I like doing this is because of reasons such as this. When we motion the HB/WR to the right we now have a WR on the outside to take advantage of a one v one match up on the defense.

- This forces the defense to be accountable for both flats and also to be aware of the speed and the one v one match up we have no created on the weak side of the field. The defense is now accountable for every part of the field.

o Tight formation

-Gives us the ability to read the defense pre-snap. If the defense starts wide and slides in they are in zone. If the defense starts in and does not slide they are in man.

- The tight formation forces the defense to be aware of both flats and is typically much harder to defend against quick passes and crossing routes.

Now I’m sure that you can now see why I love this formation so much. Another great key to this formation is that all the quick audibles are great! Most formations may have great plays in them but a downfall for them can be there quick audibles. Stay tuned for the release of each play!
