I'm worried about the depth the WR's will get. Depth is hard to translate into fball games. Hopefully a throw to "A" won't get knocked down by a defender covering "Y".

That slant over the middle will be money every time vs man and about 75% of the time against zone. Check it out in the Bronco's playbook, won a couple of madden tournaments with that play. Even if the slant over the middle is not there, there are a bunch of dangerous routes on that play.

I was gonna say the same thing. I've used this or something really, really close to it.

Yes, you are right. It is money (THIS YEAR) vs man with no one sitting in the middle. Most everything vs man this year is money because defensive locomotion is not tuned well. But that's this year. Not sure what tools and how they tune defensive locomotion for 2012.

One thing I've also noticed is that you have to take into account what type of man coverage you're calling. Without the ability to adjust the leverage of the CB's it is programmed into each call. Two man under has the CB's playing to the outside of the receiver, so the middle is always vulnerabel, wheras cover 1 has the CB's playing more inside technique.

Man blitzes are the same; some of them you'll see a corner taking away the inside, others just the opposite.

I actually prefer it this way because it makes play calling important. It is also one way we used to run things, especially cover 1. We would have our field corner outside leverage with the FS helping on the inside and have the boundary corner play inside leverage and hopefully the sideline is the extra man that helps him. This is not a cut and dry as match ups may dictate we do something else. But in principle that's how we ran cover 1.
