West Coast Scheme - Singleback Bunch Swap

[SSBlitz]

Hey guys,

I just joined the maddentips forums, but I've been following it long enough to appreciate the collaboration that goes on among the members. Much respect to guys like JerseyJay and Michura, who have motivated me to do a quick breakdown of my own scheme.
A little preface about myself, I abuse practice mode in Madden. So much so that I play it more than games, and prefer it that way. I'll just put on some music, get ripped, and run the same formation for an hour. I like finding formations that have the preset audibles so that I don't have to use any slots.
Here's my contribution to the community. I figure I'll add a twist and include pictures, in case any of you are more visual learners. Let me know what you think, and I might do more.

Singleback Bunch Swap
This formation is found in the West Coast and Seattle Playbooks. The West Coast ideology is to use timing in the passing game to help open up a run game. The formation has a bunch on the strong side of the line and a single wideout on the opposite side. This makes it easy to pre-snap read whether the defense is in Man-to-Man or Zone coverage. The Swap version puts a TE in a three point stance on the line, with two wideouts off the line on either side.
The formation audibles are:
Up - Spacing (The play I call from huddle)
Down - Inside Zone
Right - Seattle
Left - Inside Zone PA

Personnel
I'm a die hard Redskins fan, and have came up with this scheme to use with them. I sub in Mike Sellers (FB with 80 catching) in at the TE spot. I love throwing to him in the middle so he can run over safeties (like this http://ballhype.com/video/the_redski...kenoy_kennedy/ ). Then I sub Chris Cooley in the slot and Devin Thomas (big receiver) at the right side. This makes for a very big bunch that dominates run and downfield blocking. Santana moss is the single wideout for his speed and release on the slant route. This also comes up as 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE to the defense, but acts more as a 4 WR set.

Man Defense - Spacing
Spacing just kills man-to-man defense. The only change I make is to hotroute the right-side receiver to a fade. This helps on four levels: 1) He sometimes bumps off the TE's defender. 2) He gets open for an easy throw early. 3) He attacks and stretches the SS back. 4) He's in perfect position for downfield blocking on a TE dump-off. So it looks like this:

This is against basic 2 Man Under defense. No BnR. Too easy. Here is your post snap read, Moss kills the slant route and Sellers is open too.

You'll notice the LB that's covering Portis will clear the middle when he sees CP26 blocking. Sometimes a linebacker stays in zone coverage, but that means the TE will be open (his defender will be on the HB). But without BnR, Thomas will be open too. He cuts around Cooley's defender, and when you see him plant his foot like in this picture, throw the ball to the sideline (hold stick right). It's a very easy catch.

In Bump and Run, your single wideout is still the best option. But if he gets locked up, Sellers is still wide open (I haven't seen him get bumped from the three point stance yet). You'll see #11 getting bumped in the picture. If you hit the FB before he curls, he'll catch in stride and kill a safety.

Flood Right is also pretty good against man, if you want to switch it up and attack down field. The right-side receiver gets his coverage bumped by the other two crossing around him.
