Madden NFL 17 Guide Draft Champions Coach/Playbook Guides by Team
New York Jets
Offense
The Jets’ offense won’t have you winning shootouts, but it works well in combination with their aggressive defense. If you can grab a lead, it will put significant pressure on your opponent. The offensive line is an underrated area in Draft Champions. Not many players love selecting the big guys up front—until they get into a game and control the line of scrimmage, resulting in a win.
Key Formation
Singleback Wing Trips is just one example of the Jets’ new spread-style offensive playbook. Approach it as a run-first set before looking to the quick pass.
Key Player
HB with 90+ Trucking
Formations
- SINGLEBACK: Jumbo, Ace, Ace Pair Twins, Bunch Ace, Tight Slots, Doubles, Y-Trips, Wing Trips
- I-FORM: Pro, Pro Twins, Tight
- STRONG: Pro, Twins Flex, Tight Pair
- PISTOL: Strong Slot, Slot, Wing Trips
- GUN: Split Jet, Doubles, Y-Trips Offset, Bunch Wk, Snugs, Spread Y-Slot, Y-Trips Open, Trips Y-Flex Tight, Trips Open Left, Trey Open, Empty Jet, Empty Spread, Bunch Quads
Although you may expect to see power run sets, this is a fairly spread-heavy playbook.
OFFENSIVE Draft Targets
- C (STR, RBK, IPB)
- LG (STR, PBK, RBK)
- LT (STR, PBK, RBK)
Defense
The Jets have one of the most aggressive blitzing playbooks in all of Madden NFL 17. Take advantage of these plays on third and long to generate sacks and even some turnovers!
Key Formation
Rely on the 3-4 Solid early in games to shut down the run. Be sure to pass-commit if you think your opponent is going to call play action, and try a play like Trio Sky Zone.
Key Player
CB with 90+ Man Coverage
Formations
- 3-4: Odd, Under, Over, Even, Solid
- 4-4: Split
- NICKEL: 2-4-5 Even, 2-4-5 Dbl A Gap, 3-3-5 Wide
- BIG DIME: 2-3-6, 1-4-6
- QUARTER: 1-3-7, 3 Deep
The strength of the playbook is heavy pressure on passing downs with man coverage. This can feel risky, but if you draft the right players in the secondary and call for pressure at the proper time, the rewards can be huge!
DEFENSIVE Draft Targets
- DT (STR, BSH, PUR)
- CB (MCV, SPD, PRS)
- MLB (SPD, MCV, PRC)
