Madden 08 NG - Singleback Flip Trips Delta Sit

by: PhillyRon

Once a month I come over to the dark side to see how things are going with our current gen guys. This month on my visit I want to look at the Buffalo Bills playbook. I have always like the amount of pass plays that you can find in this playbook but the play that I am focusing on today is the Delta Sit. Follow along as we get into more detail.

First and foremost take a look at the play and get and understanding of the routes. This play will give you success versus any coverage.

I was originally going to show this play versus man coverage but it was to wide open. The defense is brought to the field running the 3-4 Normal Cover 3.

The reason why I say this play will work versus any coverage, is because of the route combinations. At this point of the play the 3rd receiver runs a flat route and forces the outside linebacker to run with him to the flat.

The design of the defense will always give us a quick pass lane for our flanker running the hook up route or in this play the Sit route.

When I zoom in a little closer you see how wide open the flanker is in between the zones and beneath the coverage.

Because we know that the safety is in robber coverage, he will react to the flanker hooking up under the coverage and when he does this we go to the 4th (triangle) receiver running the deep corner route.

The corner back is playing deep third so we will always get the inside position to go up and make the catch.

When our receiver comes down with the ball, he has gained 22 yards on the play for us.

Final Thoughts

The Delta Sit reminds me of the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls. I know that sounds strange but if you look at the play diagram you will see the triangle. I have found it easy to move the ball in any version of this game when using routes that create a triangle. Take it to the field, and see for yourself.
