Madden NFL 25 Tips & Tutorials Guide › NFL Teams › Dallas Cowboys

Offense

Recommended Offensive Run Formation:

Strong Close (2 HB, 1 TE, 2 WR)

Pro Tip

  • HB DeMarco Murray should see the majority of carries for the Cowboys.
  • QB Tony Romo has 73 SPD, which is enough speed to run an option offense.
  • FB Lawrence Vickers’s 82 IBL rating makes him an important piece of the run offense.

Run Left

Murray has the size and speed for any run.

Run Middle

Murray is great between the tackles.

Run Right

Murray’s speed allows him to get to the edge.

Recommended Offensive Pass Formation:

Gun Flip Trips (1 RB, 0 TE, 4 WR)

Pro Tip

  • TE James Hanna can be used in four-wide-receiver packages to get extra size on the field.
  • HB DeMarco Murray is an excellent receiver out of the backfield.
  • Look to TE Jason Witten for all crucial third down situations because of his 96 CIT rating.

Base Play

Setup:

  • Streak the HB
  • Streak the far left WR
  • Against zone coverages look to the curl flat route combination on the right.
  • If you see HB DeMarco Murray in a one-on-one man-to-man situation look to air it out deep to him.

Man Beater

Setup:

  • Streak the HB
  • Streak the far left WR

The auto-motion receiver is an unbumpable route that gets great separation over the middle.

The trail route is our primary route on this play. Look to throw the ball to that receiver as he cuts upfield.

Zone Beater

Setup:

  • Out the far right WR
  • Drag the far left WR
  • Against Cover 2 and Cover 3 zones look to the deep post and corner.
  • Against Cover 4 zones look to the HB out of the backfield and the drag route.

Blitz Beater

Setup:

  • Drag the far right WR
  • Streak the far left WR
  • The WR running the wheel route on the right is a great option if the screen is covered at the snap of the ball.
  • In this example the screen is covered and we throw a high lead pass to the wheel receiver.
