For this Madden Plays breakdown, we look at a Man Press Beater called Gun Tight Offset TE – Saints Drive Out. What we like about the Gun Tight Offset TE – Saints Drive Out is we can get all five receivers off the line of scrimmage by making just one pre-snap adjustment.

Quick Setup:
- Send the outside receiver on the left in motion to the right.
- Hot route the two inside receivers on streaks or any routes you choose (optional)
Coaching Points:
- Once the outside receiver on the right has been sent in motion, the formation goes from a tight to a bunch a formation.
- All five receivers get off the line of scrimmage without being jammed.
- All the receivers will get open. It’s just a matter of who you throw ball too.
- It’s really your choice on who you want to make your primary receiver to throw to.
- The reason we hot route two receivers on streaks is to clear out room for the underneath receiver to get even more open.
- In the video breakdown, we show all the different options we can throw the ball too based on what hot routes are madden.

Final Thoughts:
The Gun Tight Offset TE – Saints Drive Out is an excellent passing play to call to beat man press coverage (bump-n-run man coverage). All five receivers are potential threats depending on if any hot route adjustments are made.
