On this play, Gates will run a drag route underneath drawing up coverage while the backside receivers run a cross and a dig respectively.

A. Because NCAA is a month ahead of Madden in release dates.
B. Because a rep from EA answered that question in another play thread that defensive plays will be shown in about 2 weeks.

Yeah, this was one of my favorites from back in the day -- only I remember running it from Singleback Normal. The slot (LB) used to destroy man and was good at beating Cover 3. The shallow cross was always a nice checkdown.
