TWIM 22 Mailbag

Is it a bad thing to have shorter heighth at the safety position, such as Bob Sanders and Jim Leonhard? Both of these guys measure at 5'8, and despite their great attributes can these players actually be considered liabilties when going against teams such as the Chargers, Saints, or Cowboys?

What is the best way to attack the Shotty 2 back (Split Cowboy, Split Offset) and Gun Snugs Flip without leaving yourself too vulnerable in flat coverage?

Could you guys elaborate on the DELAYED BUMP technique?

could we see a scheme that consistently utilizes the 2WR 2RB 1TE look, whether you are under-center or in the Gun formation to confuse your opponent who watches your sets on the screen before he/she picks their defense?

Out of the 46 normal (Baltimore PB) what would be a good zone d to get pressure and still have coverage. I wanted to compliment my inside blitz nano.

Thanks,
Steelers

How do you stay in a zone look, while your are in man. This meaning, if someone is on offence, and comes out in snugs flip or bunch, or any other compressed set, how can you keep your defenders from lining up with the recievers, which tells your opponent its man.

Do the ratings of offensive lineman make a difference in how fast blitzes get in to the quarterback?

for example, does the offensive line of the patriots prevent blitzes better than the offensive line of the packers?

What i dont understand about the MLG rules is you are not allowed to put SS at lbs or lbs at de but you can just come out in Dime or Quaters then go to a goaline and you have SS or cbs on the line... what is the diff????? Can you guys talk about this?

remember back in the day when you guys made that run in gun tutorial for 09 with the moss toss and the moss bomb? i went back the other day and played madden 09 beacuse the run and gun in that game was too fun and i got to thinkin what if you audibled a wr like moss or d jackson to take a pitch or even a quick pass out of the back field from the fullhouse or even the iformation, do you think it would be worth putting a high powered wr in a postion such as hb, fb or te? or would i be wasting my time labbin this? and is this even mlg legal?

haha ive been around maddenbible since a little after it started (however i just subscribed) belive it or not and i just want to give you guys thanks and props for doing what you do.

When using teams such as the Colts, Saints, Eagles, is it possible to run an effective 4-3 scheme with them?

Twisted all the teams you mentioned are 4-3 teams. I would play 4-6 with the eagles and colts.

colts run a mean 4-3...2 top notch DE's=less blitzing u have 2 do, and the more exotic u can get in coverage

I was just thinking how good the toss to CHAMP BAILEY was in 08! Then you also had the bomb downfield. What a little offense, along with the FB dive!

haha those were the days

How can I utilize the 46 Bear formation from the 46 playbook. Also, can audibling from quarters or the 46 speed package make this even better?

i co-sign this question for TWIM!

I've been getting pretty good at the squib, thanks to last week's show. What I've been having trouble with is that the other team's blockers tend to engage fairly quickly in that situation, and even with a good squib I can't get to the returner fast enough. What's the best way to shed tackles on a squib and get in the open for a good hit stick?

Reverse the maddenbible wiggle down the field. I do agree the blocking is a little better though.

for me I can get down there easy enough but my guys are trash tacklers when I hitstick....Mostly I got 93 spd and 97 spd corners getting to the guy first and no matter how early I hit him he shakes the hitstick off...Even my backup MLB sucks on the hitstick. any tips

can you guys teach us how to stop half back off tackle out of goaline

come out in a zone play and the audible to man or visa versa......And you can come out in man/zone combos which will give your opp false reads

You can monkey with the depth chart, whoever is at like 4th LB even if its a starter in another position will be on special teams, (something like this) So use those guys to your advantage!

I have just pulled down the best 10 questions for the show, if you still have one, you can call and remember to think of the question before hand and try not to cuss! Thanks

remember to give a shout out to the tournament winner. and start promoting the next 64 person tourney-the madness.
