Just to bump Marisa and answer this... In Madden/NCAA (I prefer the latter) when I'm backed up in my own end zone I usually try to run off-tackle (not with a pitch, those lead to a bunch of fumbles or tackles for loss). Often the defense is pre-occupied with stuffing the middle, and if you can break through a tackle or two, your big RB is into the secondary and breaks off a nice long run. Yea but a playaction pass as works. How do you think the Patriots are looking this year?
