Eagles O and D help.

I've looked around but found a little information to be dated. I'm wondering how I should set up my corners and the order I should set up my wide recievers. I'm using Harrison or Maclin as my fourth WR and wondering if there's a certain order I should put Jackson, Maclin, and Avant in.

For CBs I have Samuel, Patterson and after that I need a little help. I used M. Jackson but he always got burnt when people did streaks. Thanks for the help!

I have my defensive and offensive depth chart setups listed in this section but basically I would go Jackson, Maclin, Avant, with Celek at TE I use Harrison more as a spell back and sub FB on 3rd downs. This is based on my game plan which is more of a balanced attack which utilizes speed on the outside and the ability to hold on to the ball in the slot (Avant) also Hall is a nice slot option.
For defense I would go Samuel, Patterson, Hanson. Lindley could be put here but I find its about equal Lindley is better man to man but Hanson is better in zone so I guess a lot depends on your defensive scheme. The loss of Ellis Hobbs was a major blow to the secondary. If you having trouble with speed in the slot you could put Mikell as your NB and Marlin Jackson at SS. Any other specific questions feel free to ask I could talk Philly all day Its my squad.

What defensive formation do you use to stop sb/sg snugs??

That's a pretty good idea using Harrison as a subbed FB. I've just always used Weaver because I'm more of a running type of guy. I do really like that idea. I did have the idea of using McCoy as another reciever and Harrison as my main RB. So many options offensively with the Eagles.

I mainly use Harrison at FB on 3rd and long's in I-form close as for 3rd and 4th WR I still like Hall and Avant because of their catch ratings. I'm not a fan of RB's starting at WR full time. For defense against SB snugs/SG snugs I would get into a Nickle or Dime formation.

This is debate you & I are gonna have, until Philly gets another WR. I like Jason Avant as a WR in real life. In Madden, not so much. He's got like 84 SPD which can be a liability when U face someone who has good user skills, so I sub Harrison in his place. Chad Hall doesn't get much of my attention either. I usually sub in Clay Harbor because of his speed & he's alot bigger than Chad Hall. I don't throw to Harrison too much so he's usually good to go stamina-wise when I need him. As far as D goes, I run them as-is. Except for my Nickel-Strong package, where I sub Lindley for Mikell & sub Mikell for Hanson, cause I he's a better blitzer.

I've recently been running my O and starting Harrison as my HB, with McCoy as a WR in 4 wide sets. Of course I'll sub in McCoy if I'm in a 2WR set. One thing I've been doing that has had great success is coming out in 5 wide, then subbing down to strong close. I've been using D-Jackson as my HB. Boy has it been lethal.

Defensively I've been running 46 speed, but I'll use Sims as my MLB1 and Jordan/Chaney as my MLB2. Been working pretty well for me.
