Pitt Doubles -Slot Cross

I posted this, because this is the infamous man coverage killer of 07 and 08, and now its back!

No setup needed for this play, just make good reads. But always look towards the slot WR, who in Pitt doubles, is Hines Ward, THEN look towards everyone else.
The only way people can think of shutting this play down is blitzing, and that leaves the HB open in the flats, or the TE open off the delayed curl.

great job! i was looking for a good play to kill man.. you just made it a whole lot easier

seems like this is a duplicate of 08 with just some minor tweaks, like i am finding a lot of stuff that worked for me in 08 is working in this years madden

great post bro

yeah pitt doubles by itself is worth a mini ebook caus of the plays and routes that are in it i mean it really is a stroke of genius imo and i think i will do it lol but this play is a guaruntee

i find that if u mix this is with the wr screen it is a good 2 play combo... lmk what u guys think

i bet i can stop it lol

i found a man killer in ARI PB.. a couple actually

care to share them? lol

haha maybe but not all of em..

VERY TRUE!

Good one! Tryed out not only slot cross, but most of the rest of the plays in this playbook in a 45-13 route of the cowboys on all madden. Would like to add that I'm a huge believer in a solid run game game, so chippin away at the run really opens up the play action pass outta this formation. Think ward had 2 TD's and like 150yds rec. So good stuff.

this work in run n gun ?

Not sure... I mean it should if the formation is there I don't see why not. But I'm not sure if its even in that pb. I mean the basic concept of it is putting ur #1 in the slot position either against a lb or 2nd string cb creating a huge mismatch. So yea if its in there I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

If the play is in the run and gun than yes. I would look strongly into the PITT Book, you might like it better than the run and gun. The formation Sinhleback doubles from undercenter, and Pitt doubles from under basically the same could be an offense in itself, I mean that very seriously!
