This is another great Madden NFL 10 Tip from AskMadden. For more great tips and strategies, check them out now!

The San Diego Chargers once again made it into the playoffs, and a big part of their success can be attributed to their high flying passing attack.

One of the ways the Chargers keep their opponents on their heals is by mixing is running back slip screens in the shotgun sets. Darren Sproles has great speed and hands out of the backfield, and with all of the other weapons the Chargers possess, (Gates, Jackson, Floyd) it becomes a tough task to always account for the slip screen. This week AskMadden.com brings you HB slip screen out of the trio formation located in Pittsburgh playbook to keep your opponents off balance.

Also known as a 'money' play.

Being that the Steelers are the only team ive ever used on this game i must admit that i LOVE this play even though i dont have a weapon like Sproles.

This play in some ways sums up the problem with Madden.
First, as mentioned before, its a money play. Fair enough, but whats so ridiculas about it is that it always works in spite of the fact that it is heavily "tipped off", yet it matters not.
The other thing thats so stupid is the play itself. While the pulling lineman does catch a block here, they rarely do in most games.
I cant count the number of times I've run this play, sucessfully, but the lineman all pull, all set up, then block no one, and its next to impossible to "use" a downfield block.
Never the less the play works 90% of the time, yet the downfield blocking, rarely works, even though in almost all cases the blockers all set up properly.
Don't even mention the backs animation, which leaves the back frozen on the edge waiting for the "slip", no brush block, no decption whatsoever.
A money play that doesnt work properly, is easily tipped, yet is very tough to stop.

Money play against human or cpu? Because against the cpu (which is what i mainly play) i couldnt call this a money play...sometimes the cpu de or olb blows it up.

Sometimes, not every time. And when they don't blow it up in the backfield, you will get at least 10 yards.

I dont know...maybe my stick skills arent all world but this play isnt always money for me lol

There's hundreds of slip screens located everywhere in the game. Nothing special about this one. Slip screens seem like the base HB screen in the game.

That trio formation has a way better WR screen than that slip screen IMO.
