The New York Jets added to their running game in the offseason with the acquisition of former Bears running back Thomas Jones. With Curtis Martin retired, the Jets looked for more stability in the running game and signed former Bears (and several other teams for that matter) running back Thomas Jones.

The conservative approach is predicated on making shallow reads and working your way over the top. The strength of this approach is that it encourages making reads in the order in which each route likely develops. Step 1: Read the Pressure The Jets are in I-Form Normal TE Corner.
Your final read would be any route that stretches across the field. These routes take the longest to develop, providing plenty of time to make the other reads. In this case, the outlet is the drag route. If none of our first three reads are open, then we look to our outlet pass to dump the ball off to the drag route for a minimal gain.
In our example, we've come out of the huddle in the Strong-I Normal TE Corner with the New York Giants. Running back Brandon Jacobs is already assigned to stay in and block to the left on this play. However, we may want to change his assignment based on certain signs that we see before the snap.
that area to create an overload. Therefore, we need to make the proper adjustments by keeping additional players back to block. Fake Blitz The most obvious sign that a blitz is coming is when an opponent used the Fake Blitz feature to bring nine defenders down near the line of scrimmage.
the flat for a quick pass. There are going to be times when you mis-read the defense before the play and the pressure is going to come hard and fast after the snap. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid instant pressure most of the time. The most common receiver to look for when recognizing instant pressure is a running back moving into the flats.
safety turn and run with your receiver early in the play, it's time to look to your next read. Completing a deep pass against this type of defense can still be effective but requires good timing and proper personnel. Other Factors Utilizing the Vision Cone Freeze the safety by using the vision cone.
In this article, we're going to take a look at what it means to be able to attack all three levels (or depths) of a defense and create spacing for your receivers. It's important to have the ability to attack different spots on the field because it forces your opponent to remain accountable for every area.
Complimenting Routes By: Kyle Cooper Learning how to compliment your routes with other routes can really open up the field for your offense. We've already discussed in previous articles the different ways to make your reads, respond to the blitz, and create proper spacing.
By sending Torry Holt on the streak, Rams tight end Randy McMichael has enough spacing from distracted Steeler safety Troy Polamalu to haul in a catch. We make the throw with St. Louis Rams' Smart and Accurate quarterback Marc Bulger to the now wide-open tight end Randy McMichael.
● Minimize losses in the backfield: Find running plays that get the ball into the hands of your running back as close to the line of scrimmage as possible. ● Run North and South, not East and West: Almost every quick developing running play will be the most beneficial when you take the handoff and get up the field as fast as possible.
chance for a loss. Don't continue to get stuck in 3rd and long situations because you can't execute on 1st and 2nd down. Patience Behind the Line By: Kyle Cooper Almost every other running play in Madden that isn't the HB Slam or the FB Dive will require you to have patience in the backfield.
We slowly approach the line with running back Reggie Bush to give our blockers a tad more time to lock down on the approaching defenders. We hold the sprint button as soon as we find the slightest opening in the defense to get upfield as quickly as possible.

Chapter 9 - SportsGamer's Defense Training Camp SportsGamer.com presents a series of Madden training camp articles to strengthen your defense. These feature tips on shutting down the opposition's rushing attack, defending against the deep pass, countering the tight end, and containing a mobile quarterback.
The "stacking" defenders technique created enough confusion up front to allow multiple defenders in on the play. Getting multiple defenders in the backfield every time would obviously be ideal. However, all you need is just one to disrupt the timing of any play.
Adjusting your zone safeties wider can help prevent the deep ball. By the time Moss gets as deep as Fauria on the field and our safety recognizes the threat, he will have to make up so much ground that it makes it near impossible for us to make a play on the ball.
The middle linebacker will defend this tight end post route: use a playmaker audible to a hook zone to get into position. One of the easiest ways to tell which part of the field that your opponent is most likely to attack is where the ball is placed on the field before the snap.
A curl zone will defend against an expected tight end's corner route. Let's suppose our opponent starts in the middle of the field. We know that either route from the tight end is a possibility in this position--because there's ample space on both sides of the field.
Protecting against the flat and angle routes are challenging. Use playmaker mode to adjust defender assignments. The last two changes we've made on this play is using defensive playmaker on our r.
able to buy time to either make a throw, or scramble past you for extra yardage. What to Avoid… Many Madden players believe that placing the defensive ends in QB contain assignments will prevent the quarterback from escaping the pocket. Unfortunately it's not that simple, especially when facing the Speed QB Michael Vick.
Vick turns around and begins sprinting to the opposite side of the field. Fortunately, on this side of the field Leonard Little awaits to make a play. Once you are able to get the quarterback to run in the opposite direction of his throwing hand you are in complete control of the play.
Tip 6: Always pick up the pressure that your opponent is bringing on defense. There will be plenty of heat coming this season, so be sure to keep extra players back to block when pressure seems likely.

As has been typical of the Madden franchise, these are pretty easy achievements to unlock. Many will unlock during normal gameplay; a few standard games against the computer may unlock many of the achievements. You may have to focus your offense on certain tasks (like running the ball or going for a lot of passing yardage).
