Offence philosophy Thoughts for 08
By Thomas Riddell
Special to sfl-football.com





[size=18]We all know Madden 08 ,
Here is the last good PC version of Madden
I want to introduce a couple of ideas that I used when it comes to offense

(1) if you're starting with a Young quarterback have a veteran team around him
There's no point in getting a young offensive line young receivers if you've just drafted a quarterback in 08

The O-Line won't be able to protect them
The receivers will drop too many balls

And your quarterback will suffer

(2) if you're going to have young Offence line
Then you need a quarterback with high awareness
Strictly because the old line is going to make mistakes and the ball needs to be out quicker


(3) young quarterbacks need veteran receivers
Catch Rating and AWR Helps the QB

(4) were the veteran quarterbacks can do both
young receivers are more likely to Progressive quicker with a veteran quarterback


(5) Running backs you've got a Young quarterback the best thing you can do is put a veteran running back behind him
This allows you to be more focused on the run
Then use the play action pass game
Then take the occasional deep shot

(6) TE' it's good to have a mix of talent when it comes to the tight end spot
I have one guy who is a really good blocker
Have another one who's a break pass catcher
And then have one for injury purposes that can do both pretty well

(7) FB fullbacks will always be something of an enigma
If you have a Young quarterback investing in the full-back position
Might be a good idea as it will help your Veteran running back
Nothing like having a little extra pass protection or a release valve for that Young quarterback

( 8 ) the key is this if you're starting with young QB put veterans around him it's the best way to groom a young quarterback

If you have a young offensive line get a veteran quarterback
Once that o-line has a decent skill level then you can go after younger quarterback never do both the same time it's a recipe for disaster
