For this Madden Tips and Plays video breakdown, we start off a series of Five Man Press Beaters From Chiefs Playbook that beat that type of coverage. Our series’ opening play is the Gun Tight Y Off Wk – Post Wheel Drag. This play’s effectiveness relies on the motion used to get a receiver off the line of scrimmage without being jammed. This technique enables him to get the inside position where we can pass the ball to him down the right seam.

- He should get inside position He should position himself inside his man so that we can throw the ball down the right seam to him. Throw to the flanker on the Deep post route, if not look for the tight end on the drag.
