Madden NFL 25 Tips & Tutorials Guide › NFL Teams › Houston Texans

Offense

Recommended Offensive Run Formation:

I-Form Close (2 HB, 1 TE, 2 WR)

Pro Tip

  • Give the majority of the carries to HB Arian Foster.
  • Make sure to give HB Ben Tate a few carries a game.
  • FB Greg Jones is a nice option in short-yardage situations.

Run Left

Arian Foster has the speed to run outside.

Run Middle

Foster also has the power to run over defenders.

Run Right

Get to the edge and run past the defenders.

Recommended Offensive Pass Formation:

Gun Tight Doubles On (1 HB, 1 TE, 3 WR)

Pro Tip

  • WR Keshawn Martin is the texans’ only speed WR.
  • Involve TE Owen Daniels in the passing game.
  • HB Arian Foster has the size to be split out wide and create matchup problems.

Base Play

Setup:

  • Motion the far right WR outside
  • The HB is your first read on this play. His route explodes to the flat and is our favorite route on this play.
  • Next look to the crossing patterns underneath and then to the deep post and sideline wheel.

Man Beater

Setup:

  • Streak the left slot WR
  • Motion the far right WR outside
  • The motioned WR will get inside position on his man-to-man defender. Throw a high inside pass lead.
  • Next look to the TE and throw the ball as soon as he breaks to the sideline.

Zone Beater

Setup:

  • Streak both outside wide receivers
  • Wheel the HB
  • Against Cover 2 and Cover 3 look to the corner routes.
  • Against Cover 4 zones look to the HB wheel.

Blitz Beater

Setup:

  • Streak both outside receivers
  • Block the HB
  • You will have eight pass blockers on this play.
  • Virtually no blitz will get you in. Lob it deep to Andre Johnson for the easy score!
