This is a nice play to mix in with the others from the mini scheme.  This setup gets 2 players off the same side.  This can be an effective strategy if your opponent is blocking a running back every time on the left side of the field.

Our Madden Pro “Truth” has literally taught Tyronto how to play Madden, literally down to what button hikes the ball. On the other side of the...

Blitzing six and getting two guys through is an effective tactic on this years game.  But when most people are getting two guys, they are getting them both off the outside. This blitz is special because one is coming from the B gap and the other off the edge.  It is recommended to audible from a dime or 46 speed package into this play so cornerbacks are the...

You guys have already picked up the Truth Defensive Experience, so you’re already playing defense like the man himself. In the mean time, while you guys have been studying and mastering how he plays defense, Truth has been in the lab perfecting an offensive strategy that his own defense couldn’t stop! Well, that’s not entirely true. Truth has...
