Madden NFL 09 - Running With the Quarterback

July 30, 2008 9:40 am - Author: Kyle Cooper

Mobile quarterbacks had dominated the Madden series for a long time until here recently.  However, this season the popularity of the mobile quarterback in Madden might be back with names like Tony Romo, David Garrard, Tavaris Jackson, and Vince Young.  Romo and Garrard are mobile in a different way because users will most likely ask them to use their legs to create better passing angles instead of running for first downs.  However, guys like Jackson and Young are fast enough that they have a couple more options are their disposal.  

 


In this example, Tavaris Jackson of the Minnesota Vikings is set to run a quarterback draw under center.  However, there's a certain way to run the draw that will provide you with better blocking up front.  

 


The key to getting the most out of the draw is allowing your offensive linemen to make their blocks up front before you begin moving forward.  

 


As soon as we receive the snap we quickly just tap up on the d-pad, then let go of everything for just a second.  Once you perfect this movement you'll see your quarterback stand straight up as shown in the image above.  

 


After you've waited just a second in the pocket with your quarterback frozen, then begin moving upfield and always be prepared to slide.  

 

Jackson's already pick up three yards and now the defense is finally closing in.

I would rather use a pass play like hail mary, and draw anyway
