lol, it's sad when Chris Gamble (rated 88 in the game) is a third corner.

One thing I noticed that I found weird was that the DTs did a fantastic job for me, despite not being rated very high. I used Ryan Picket and Tim Anderson and they were awesome. It also helps that Will Smith is one of the DEs, and Hawk/Vrabel as OLBs.

I also just noticed that ESPN has Vernon Gholston listed as a DT. Am I missing something? I thought he was going to be a DE/OLB.

Game film Breakdown
We touched on earlier the fact that we receive the actual coach's film of every NFL game that's played each week during the season. Instead of just giving lip service to that point we're going to show examples of four new plays that were added to Madden NFL 09 that was the direct result of our film study. The first clip of each play was taken directly from the coach's film while the second clip of each play shows that exact play being run in Madden NFL 09 against a similar defensive scheme as to what's on the coach's film.
Chargers - I Tight Pair "Power O"
The Power O play is one of the favorite run plays of the Chargers. The idea behind the play is to carve out running lanes for the ball carrier on the outside edge of the offensive line. The play side guard, tackle, and tight end all block down away from the run hole. The fullback kicks out (blocks) the first defender that shows up outside of the tight end. The back side guard pulls and leads the ball carrier through the hole that's been created in the defensive front.

​
Packers - Gun Empty Ace "Levels"
The levels concept is designed to create both a horizontal and vertical stretching of zone and man coverages. The play calls for the tight end to climb to a depth of 10 to 12 yards and run a dig/in route to the inside. The two flankers to the strong side of the formation will both run 5 yard in routes. This creates a hi/lo situation for the quarterback to read. If the defense takes away the tight end go underneath to either of the two shorter in routes. And vice versa if the defense jumps the two shorter routes underneath, the tight end on the dig route is a viable option for the quarterback.

Patriots - Gun Snugs Flip "Bench Swap"
An extremely popular concept in the NFL the Bench Swap play is designed to attack cover 2 defensive coverages by vertically stretching the outside cornerbacks. The cornerback in cover 2 is forced to make a decision to either key the receiver running open in the flat or get depth on his zone drop in order to take away the corner route that's being run by the outside receiver. This variation of the smash concept forces the cornerbacks to have to key the flats longer since the flat route from a reduced split has lots of room to work with to the outside.

Saints - Singleback Bunch "Curls"
The Singleback Bunch Curls play is very effective against cover 3 and man free (cover 1) coverages. It's designed to horizontally stretch the curl/flat defender by forcing him to make a decision on which defender to cover. If the curl/flat defender (usually safety or outside linebacker) runs to the flat to cover the flat receiver, this opens a passing lane for the quarterback to throw the curl route to either outside receiver. If the curl/flat defender sinks in coverage in an effort to take away the curl route, the quarterback can then go to his receiver running the flat route.
