TWIM 24 Mailbag

Great questions last week and im sure we will have some more good ones this week!

1. what are the best ways (i.e. formations or by hot-routing) to create picks and rubs for your WRs to get open?

2. when establishing a "running" scheme, what types of audibles should be set to compliment it?

3. what are the 5 "essential" audibles (play types not the formation) needed that every player needs to have set in order to attack every part of the field?

Id love to see this question answered -

Also,


1.What are some good defensive plays on 4th and short's outta the 4-3 that can really get some good pressure on the QB and cover the short passes.

2. What are some good route combos and inside routes out of the snugs shotgun and singleback formations.

1. Besides the clown, what is another good play to run when you need a last second desperation TD?

2. What team(s) are the most overlooked in this years game.

3. Which player(s) do you think is going to make the leap to madden stardom next year?

4. Possible Team Break down(s):
- Bears
- Bengals
- Raiders

Does the field goal accuracy rating matter if you're doing the kicking? i.e. If you're a little off to the left, will you miss by more if your kicker has a low accuracy rating? (More of a possible MythBusters than a question, I suppose, but it's quick enough that you might be able to squeeze two MythBusters into one show)

Team breakdown of the J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!!!! Hook a season ticket holder up.

Just watched the replay of the game of the week, Gibs I liked that you pulled out the stick play that you featured a few months back. From the plays you used from the Dallas book it looks like the guide is going to be solid. Does it bother you that the Dallas book only has 1 WR screen?

Meant to add- Don't know if you guys ever learned this (we were chatting it), but while the original splashscreen was up before the show started, we cold hear you talking in the background going over the format of the show. Glad you didn't spill any important beans (like the bracket seedings). You did reveal that you'd only take one caller, and that that one caller would be participating in the lightning round game - Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with us finding that out. But I'd hate for you to leak something next week that you guys didn't mean to.

Yeah, thats a production error as the director should mute the host mics! (scott van pelt dropped an fbomb) I will make that note to the director and we appreciate it.

A falcons breakdown on how you would set their depth chart. And why

A Cowboys breakdown on depth chart and how do you their defense. Similar to what you did with the Ravens on TWIM 23

COLTS Team Breakdown!

I have 3 threes I'd like to know if you don't mind 1.Umbumpables/ ways to beat a man press with the blitz 2.Ways to beat a deep dropback/ scrambling QB 3. Ways to defend great WRs/ TEs like Vernon Davis, Tony Gonzalez, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald players who make catches in traffic (Anquan Boldin) and silly catches (Randy Moss) that wouldn't normally be caught and you don't necessarily have a player on defense who can matchup one on one basically what are ways you can double team them or put serious coverage on them besides spotlighting (because I've spolighted them and sometimes they still make the catch lol) thanks for all your help Sgibs and Zfarls

I believe they did one a few shows back when they did an on the fly Dallas scheme. I don't remember the show.

How can I stop a goalline offense? I've played a friend that uses purely the Goal Line formation. He'll do tosses, sneak, and Power O, then when I stop one thing, he'll be ready to do a PA.. . The last time I played him he was using the Jaguars and Garrard got a good sneak.


Do a team breakdown of the Broncos or the Redskins!! (FB is 6'3" so he can RC!!)

What do you do if your star player gets hurt( ex: Peyton Manning) and it effects your whole gameplan?

You keep going with your normal stuff because Jim Sorgi is better anyway!

You run the ball. Make the QB not a central figure of your game. Use quick short throws that won't be off target.

I was messing around with their D depth chart because I think I may get them in the EAFL league I'm in..

LE:Vanden Bosch, Jones, Brown
RE: Ball, Marks, Brown
DT: Jones, Marks, Brown, Haye, Vickerson

LOLB: Kearse, Ford, Tulloch
MLB: Bulluck, McRath, Keglar, Allred
ROLB: Hayes, Ford, Allred

CB: Finnegan, McCourty, Griffin, Hood, Mouton
FS: Fuller, Hope, Kaesviharn
SS: Harper, Hope, Kaesviharn


Your fastest secondary players are at CB, which I use all of them since I audible down to my formations from Quarters, LB Pass Rush formation/sub.

You have to have defensive lineman at LB since the LBs are so slow.. The D-L provide height and speed.

Fuller is the tallest player that has "okay" speed in the secondary. He's 6'1" and 80 speed.. I'd probably switch him with a faster CB, and put him at 5th CB so he doesn't get anytime in the scheme you run.

How do both of you go about attacking a 1-5-5 defense?

How would you go about attacking your own (the original) Goalline Defense?

Whats your fav coverage D out of the 4-4?

How do you feel about putting your SS's at OLB in the 4-4 (ATL Falcons for example)?

What tourny player would you hate to face in the 1st round at MLG?

How do you feel about ACC Clock? And do you think it should be used at tournys?

What is the most memorable game (win or loss) of your madden career?

I really wish ACC clock wasnt used, and there was 5 min quarters instead. Gives more time to audible, cause i know when i do no huddle all of my players get tired to fast, and if you want to have a long drive it really hurts you.

I'd like to see this question answered.

Also Zfarls , What's the reason you dont use the Giants. I know its your favorite team, but whats the thing that makes them a team not suitable for your using.

Fist off thank for answering my question on run d from the 46 book guys and congrats on another great TWIM!

"What are some of the most effective QB draw setups?. Since the patch came out which has taken away the ability to gain immediate QB control from canceled PA plays what are some ways to still utilize QB draw effectively from UC and GUN? And are we left with designed roll out plays/canceled HB screens to gain that immediate control? I run Houston pb and have TJax at my disposal since I use the Vikings.Thanks.
