Madden 08 - Using the TE in the Red Zone

The Red Zone needs to be the "cash-in" zone. We want to come away with six points here. The TE is a big weapon for us in this area. We like to get the TE the ball off of run action.

Singleback Big 3TE PA TE Cross


The first play we want to highlight as a part of our Red Zone "cash -in" scheme is the Singleback Big 3TE PA TE Cross. This play features two crossing routes by TE #2 and TE #3.	The defense comes out in a 4-3 Normal front. They use a Cover 0 scheme to defend the formation - Free Fire.

The QB and HB do a good job selling the play fake.	Because the pressure is coming up the gut, we roll the QB out to the right.

We spot TE #3 on the crossing route.	We get the ball out in front of him for the catch and the score.

Singleback Big Wing PA Rollout


Another thing we like to look for in the red zone is delay routes by the TE's off of run action. The Singleback Big Wing PA Rollout is a prime example. TE #1 runs a delay out route, while TE #2 gives us the crossing route threat.	The defense will attempt to defend the formation with a cover 0 scheme - Free Fire - from their 4-3 Normal Front.

The QB and HB sell the run action.	TE #1 throws a block on the defensive end.

He releases the DE and runs his route.	We hit him on the out with no one around him.

Turn it up and get into the end zone.

Singleback Twin TE WR PA FL Stretch


Our final play here is Singleback Twin TE WR PA FL Stretch. This play features auto-motion by TE #2 along with a flat route by the same player. TE #1 will pull the coverage with the corner route.	The defense comes to the line in a 4-3 Normal front and defends the Red area with a cover 0 scheme - Free Fire.

TE #2 comes in motion to the left prior to the snap.	The QB and HB do a good job of selling the run fake drawing all the attention to the HB.

TE #2 slips out in the flats all by himself.	We get the ball to him.

Turn it up the field.	Then get into the endzone for the score.
