zone beaters anyone?

aight so lately ive played guys that run straight zone all game and alot of my plays are designed to break down man. so i was wondering if any of ya'll got any zone beater concepts or plays or anything that would help me understand and break down zone a lil bit better. im not askin for anyones money plays more or less just the concept of rout combonations that help defeat zones. any help would be awesome!

Try taking a bunch set and putting the inside guys on streaks, and the outside guy on a slant out. That beats cover 3 all day as long as they dont use purple zones.
Another thing to try is find a play that has a slot reciever doing a crossing route, just wait in the pocket till they get open.
One last tip, put the recievers along sidelines on fades and they get open vs. cover 3 also if theres a post route next to it, such as i-form twins formation.

Against Cover 2 work the sidelines and the deep middle of the field. Against Cover 3 work the underneath middle with crossing routes. Against Cover 4 use the flats.

in man coverage if they dont move their safety or linebacker closerr to the flats then hit them thats an easy 5 yards

Great post

Cover 2: Send 3 deep routes, find the open one once the defenders commit.
Cover 3: Gotta love HB Wheel routes up the sideline with a streak on that side. Also fade/streak combo

Also, the C routes on plays like "Corner Strike" get open a lot if you hit them towards the inside before they make their cut back to the corner.

dude its really easy to get past zone its just the plays you run where i use ne look for plays like sluggo and plays the just throw stuff off completely and if you cant tell by looking the lab plays and just practice random plays

Run and screen?

well you can do that if they blitz a lot but for passing it can work but i dont try to use it i dont get enough yards

technically, you need 3.3 yards per play to have a successful offense. Zone defense is great at allowing short plays while preventing big passes, which is the opposite of man defense. Don't try those 20+ yarders every down, that's what your opponent wants. Use short patterns and move the ball.

i always get alteast 7 tho if you look its pretty easy look at the NE playbook and look at plays like y iso shake all you have to do is hit a at the right moment and HB split screen instead of using the screen as soon as moss fakes left hit him and thats a wide open pass on zone and sometimes man and all you have to do if you want a long pass and their using a cover 2 or 3 is use a strong verticals and there you go its all about reading the defense lately i have been doing the same thing and have a horrible record but i just unplugged my xbox from getting live and practice or play with friends and work on it and since that i have been doing way better iv played 5 dfferent friends and haveny lost a game yet but my problem is running a defense not an offense i just know what to do during offense

a lot of good players run zone a lot. if you face people that do it a TON, then try to go into shotty and run out of it and use draws and stuff like that. sometimes the best way to beat a heavy zone player that doesnt blitz is to run against it if you can. that will force him to blitz then if you can pass he will be getting pissed cuz he cant stop you!

Gun Split Offset Power O is great
