I watched a video on youtube the other day with some madden guru who wanted to share his formula for beating man coverage. The play, "MESH", we are off to a good start I thought, and then the wheels fell off as he proceeded to hot route every receiver AND HE DID AWAY WITH THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THE PLAY! THE RUBBING OF THE RECEIVERS LOL!
Don't get me wrong I will hot route, but I place much more attention to detail with PROTECTION, PRE SNAP, and finally POST SNAP Reads. There are some great stock pass plays that many time I don't even touch like STICK, VERTICALS, CURL/FLAT, STRONG FLOOD, MESH, SMASH and of course Z SPOT. All of these plays can be run as is. Sure i Will Hot Route, but my ego is not so big that I feel I have to reroute every receiver every play, and I think often that many guys who will often do this actually do more harm to their offense than they do help it.
just my 2 cents
