Also I took the same play, form shifted to 4wr spread, smart routed the TE and sent him in motion to the left, hike before he sets. Smart route the comeback route as well. That was you have 2 unbumps on one side, the drag eats up man coverage (usually K.Curtis) and you have the post route on the right side. If heat is coming dump it to the RB (westbrook) and the 2 unbumps will block for you. You will have one defender near you, if you beat him its at least 10-15 yard gain.

2nd play....
Have 4WR slants in your audibles. Come out in curl drag and audible to 4WR slants. This play only effective in man. Pull the routes. the Slot WR to your right runs toward the sideline, put your vision cone on him. Hike the ball and throw it IMMEDIATELY. The WR to his right blocks for him and its almost like a screen going down the sideline. If you can put your fastest receiver in the slot, you may be able to break this for a touchdown.

Again, I only mess with Madden like this ever so often, so Im not a pro, just glad to find something.
