The best play in the formation is the toss, you can run that all game and not get stopped but now you have this to mix in! Just a fantastic formation.
Trio is one of the deadliest formations in the game. This is one of , if not the only play in the game with the unique HB route on the right side. Against man defense, our HB is going to shoot out for an easy gain. With the trio’s positions on the field, and the route combination ran here we can hit any area on the field at any time. The defense has to pick their poison.
If you are throwing them correctly they will spin while catching the ball. This is an extremely nice quick pass because it simply will not be picked off and it is on BOTH sides of the field.

This is a great play that can beat man or zone defenses, along with the blitz. We have the RB route which is on a unique flat that will be a great quick read against zone defenses and man blitzes.
This formation is one of the deadliest in the game and is filled with untapped potential. Look at it, this is actually one of those NCAA formations that people always say to themselves, “wow, if only this formation were in madden…”
