TWIM #55 Mailbag Questions

What questions do you have that you want answered on this weeks show? #TWIM 55

what ya got fellas?

What are the stats to focus on when setting up a weak offensive line?

are there specific yardages for short medium and deep throw accuracy or are they based on the routes or what .. i thought short 0-10 medium 10-20 and deep 20+ but my scientific experiments have shown, based on 100 throws, that cam newton is just as accurate on a 15 yard square in as a 5-10..

What's the best way to play Offense, with a weak Defense like the colts? Do you Score early and often and put up as many points as fast as you can, or do you ground the clock out, and only put your defense on the field a couple of times in a game?




Thanks,

do you have some routes that have a short , medium and deep look like a 3 level attack?

Lets say you have a big bodied WR (6 foot 2+). Do you like him in the slot or the outside?

1. due to their personnel, what is your "recommended" offensive style of play for the Ravens and a depth chart set up to run it? (i.e. west coast, run balanced, run heavy etc.)

2. how often should you come out in your offensive or defensive "base-play?" doesn't that get predictable to your opponent when you don't come out in other formations?

What would be the 5 Sets for Success with the Raiders playbook and is the Raiders PB the only one with I Tight Off Tackle?

How do you guys utilize the 3-3-5 Bear formation? I like the formation, but I'm having a hard time mixing up my pressure. Thanks!

here, i got you...not worth the time on TWIM (no offense)...

with the colts, you have a high powered aerial assault. you dont have the run blocking OL nor the type of back to go between the tackles 20x a game. score with the colts early and often, and bring the pain on D. no point sitting back letting the other team have time to outrun your slow DBs...come out in a nickel set and get freeney/mathis free....run overstorm brave....run cover 2 with a global blitz of the LBs...just get those DEs comin hot.

Now that she's free Do you think Amanda Knox will start to dominate the Madden scene?

Thanks ZAN, I run my 4-3 and 4-6 where i have at least one end coming free every time, unless they block like 7 people. Just was not sure who to ask. I appreciate you answering my question.

What is the concept of "facethrowing"?

with the 46 "suggested" audibles you gave, what is the game situation for using each of those formations?

What zone coverages can be used to defend deep corner routes and deep outs?

Thinking about changing to the 43 defensive pb...Do u have any 43 schemes that u can show...blitzes & run D

Facethrowing is when you put a 6'3'' + WR with decent CIT and JMP ratings on a streak vs. relaxed man coverage OR cover 3/4 zone, and throw a high bullet streak when they are about 15-20 yards downfield. The DB typically gets in a bad position where he's just outbodied by the WR. The WR catches the pass and typically the DB isn't agile enough to make a play on it; oftentimes allowing a catch and run for 5-10 more yards...

Do you have any quick setup defense plays using only line shifting, crashes etc and global changes without manual player movement (or bare minimal player movement) for offline play against friends?

Reason i ask...... i never even get close to player movement setups playing my buddies offline as they know i am bringing something i have practiced, so as quick as they can possibly snap, they snap.

Btw love your 4-6 ebook, got it yesterday...a must buy for all Madden fans wanting to improve their D. superb job guys.

I got killed online by a dude using the Lions and what I think was a toss sweep run play to the outside w/ Jahvid Best, he had close to 300 yards rushing, I tried the 4-6 cover 3 w/ the pre snap adjustments.. I still couldn't stop it.. what play would you suggest to shut down the toss sweep or off tackle runs?

besides the Strong: Close, please name a few other solid power running formations to build a scheme around and which playbooks can they be found in?

4 verticals attack from a 2x2 set. 2 deep zones cant defend four guys.
