Philadelphia Eagles

Offense

The Eagles’ offensive playbook is a unique one in Madden NFL 16 and contains far and away the most shotgun Formations. You must be comfortable passing and running from shotgun to have optimal success.

Key Formation

In the Gun Ace Offset, learn how to run Inside Zone consistently and the rest of your offense will open up. Every formation should have an inside run, outside run, screen, and deep pass off play action.

Key Player

HB with 80+ Catch

Formations

• Singleback: Ace, Ace Pair, Ace Pair Twins, Doubles, Wing Trips Open
• Weak: Pro
• Pistol: Doubles
• Gun: Split Slot, Slot Offset, Ace Offset, Ace Twins Offset, Twin TE Flex Wk, Doubles Offset, Doubles Wing, Doubles Offset Wk, Tackle Over Trips, Y-Trips Offset, Y-Trips Offset Wk, Wing Trips Eagle, Wing Trips Eagle Wk, Tackle Over, Trio Offset, Trio Offset Wk, Bunch Open, Bunch Open Offset, Double Stack, Spread HB Wk, Flip Trips Eagle, Trey Open Offset, Empty Trey

OFFENSIVE Draft Targets

• HB (CTH, AGI, ELU)
• QB (PAC, SAC, DAC)
• WR (6’3”, SPD, SPC)

Defense

The Eagles have a solid 3-4 defensive playbook and also rely on multiple LBs moving around to create confusion.

Key Formation

The 3-4 Predator allows an LB to rush from the DE position and hopefully outmaneuver a slower tackle with acceleration or finesse. Don’t use this set on a running down, because this player won’t be your strongest option.
