How to win with Atlanta?

[NezDogg]

Tell me what to do. What are your receivers? Good plays to run. Anything would help.

[kts1230]

if you dont see a blitz coming off the edges or from the corners than any PA is good with them. same with bootlegs. one thing though is that even though u have vick, always look to pass first run second

[pitbull]

the falcons are unstoppable if there are in the right hands and the right offensive system. when you use vick, use his legs to avoid the rush, occasionally take off when nothings there. the best offensive system for vick on madden is probably the compression. w/ the compression offense someone will come open almost all the time. if you master the compression and you can read coverage, then you can become a dangerouse player. all the tools are there for vick,
elite TE
good backs
and the moble QB is a plus.
those are the tools you need to make the compression work great.

i use falcons and there my fav team :D im 16-4 online 2 r discs...

my wr set up is jenkins,lelie,white,crumpler,dunn except for white every1 had over 80 catch so its helpful. i do alot of short passes and throw runs in there. im avging i tink 37 points with them and i play lvl 8+, not saying im the best wit them, but i do very well with em..if u want hook me up on aim bigeric828 or online b1g balla 8

[sportfan88]

The key for me when using the Falcons is to attack all the parts of the field. Make sure that all 5 eligible recievers are used.

I like to put Lelie on a streak, Dunn and Griffith on flats, Crumpler on a post, and Jenkins on whatever route you want. There is a play like this in Sea PB I form-WR Option. Just hot route lelie. If all the routes in a play are covered then you should have an open running lane.

Make sure you pound the rock with Dunn because he will break a couple, and use Griffith out of the backfield. He is pretty fast and has good hands for a FB.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help everyone, but I still suck on O. I can't do anything. Throw int's with Vick all the time and Vick can't hit anybody, then I try to run with Vick and everyone blitz's me.

a real good way 2 get good with vick is-use a team wit a great qb-colts/patriots for instance..once u get good in the pocket and what not..switch to falcons. this will do 2 things-1- if people r blitzing, u wont worry half as much and try 2 scramble 2-give u time to look for wr's if nuttin is there then take off

most people when they play falcons is eita put guys in qb contain-which makes the pocket vick dangerous or they blitz alot which allows many openings on the field

when they blitz just throw 2 flats or throw to where there blitzing, also come out of big formations or twin set formations. i hope tis helps

remember vick and lelie is a deadly combo, alge catches like everything 2 him, jenkins got speed and can jump, and dunn is very quick and fast

try this and hit me up if u need more

[NezDogg]

Thanks Everyone. what PB does everyone run? what are your good plays?

[pitbull]

i use the oakland PB. check the oakland BB thread, i posted some nice stuff starting on i think it was page 19. if you want a good compression off. use seattles or tampa bays books. theres a thread on seatles book on this site. sorry, i don't know how to post up links.

What i see alot more vs me when i use the Falcons is the outside LBers will play the flats to contain me from running with Vick and at the same time the Middle LB while being controled by the user will spy me anywhere i run to.....out of 3-4 and Quarter D...With this DB's playing cover 2, to take away the deep ball from me....

What should do to make them pay when they are in this Defense?...I run alot of I form, Weak Form and Strong From...As a base offense.

How would you attack this Defense?

[GAV]

Run the ball. Throw deep. Hit the flats. Use the screen.
Hit the TE. Throw the fade. Duh!

When they play that D, they've left a lot of holes, but first thing's first: Don't run with Vick so much. Only do it when they least expect it. That way they won't play this D against you and you will be able to run with Vick when you need to.

But if they are playing that D, run up the gut. Also, if their CB's are in zone, run some dual drags. The MLB can't guard both WR's. Another good one when the MLB is spying and the Safeties are in Cover 2, your TE's wide open on a post.

You forgot Run with the QB when your opponent is Containing or spying you with 80 speed LB's or 75 speed DE's.. Its not like ATL's Qb has 93 speed or somthing!!:rolleyes:

Im being spyed on mostly by #54 of the Bears or Manny Lawson of the 49ers who has 90 speed for a LB...

[lynch1000s]

Be able to use vick as a pocket passer.

Be prepared to see a lot of bump and run blitzes and double corner back blitzes to keep vick in the pocket.

Lelie deep on zone coverages, crumpler on posts, and dunn out of the flats, etc etc.

Be able to use five wide, and be able to use the pocket to buy as much time as possible.

Run often, then play action pass out of the same formation. This will throw your opponents off.

It's not like factors other than speed come into
play when running from spies:rolleyes:

[NezDogg]

Anyone use ATL's PB? if so, what are some good plays?

[Atljunglist]

I use ATL's PB.
I think it is one of the more underrated playbooks. Ive been using it all year. I love the Sb Flip Trips formation, and Trips TE for running compression out of smaller sets. I also run 2RB and 2 TE sets as well.

[playa_bengals]

tis may be a stupid question..but what is a compression offense? is it the no huddle?

[Atljunglist]

nah its an offensive theory. using compressed sets IE: Trips and Bunch sets giving you 3 quick reads on one side of the field.

[pitbull]

tis may be a stupid question..but what is a compression offense? is it the no huddle?

the compression offense is like when you have a group of recievers grouped together, wether they're near the formation or not.
examples are-Singleback tight, trips bunch, i form tight twins, shotgun trips bunch and stuff like that.

try to find Big B's conference call, he explaind it alot better.

Use a West coast offensive approach to the Falcons. Throw short outs, curls, screens and occasionnaly a deep pass to your homerun-hitters. The key here is to have short throws to exploit the arm strength of Michael Vick and minimize the effect of low accuracy.Whenever you see man coverage, you know that if it's tight, you can run for good yardage as the defenders have their backs turned.

[lynch1000s]

Two good plays in the ATL playbook, I don't use it personally, flats and jenkins(WR1) option.

Any play that has both backs coming out into the flats, and crumpler over the middle, and roddy white or Lelie deep, and maybe jenkins on a curl, post, or drag works well.

Make sure you use the flats a lot with vick, and crumpler over the middle.

but I use the oakland playbook with ATL, which works pretty well.
