My red zone offense sucks

[TheSedated]

I always went succesful with I Form Wing Curls, Strong Close Y Trail with the left receiver audibled on a Slant route, Pistol Y Trips Stick, Guns Double Y-Flex Z Spot.
The last one is a money play of mine. You have to be fast to get the ball to your receivers, but it pays to learn it. The amount of receivers wreaks havoc in the defense close to the goal line/inside the goal line. The primary route is open often and therefor a fast TD if near the goal line (LOS closer than maybe 8). If the primary is covered, look out for the TE, if he's also covered, the Slant routes, both of them, are almost guaranteed to be open. The HB is your primary target when getting blitzed.

If you've got a fast HB, you should also look out for Sweep plays. Power Runs and Trap Runs should also be given a look at when in the 5yd zone.

I usually call an RPO when I'm at the goal line for this reason

In my experience, about 60% of H2H players have no idea what to do against a run heavy scheme with RPOs

Run wise I use Singleback Ace and it's been working really well. I have HB Dive, Stretch and crackback toss in my audibles and use what's best for how the D lines up.

Pass wise I don't have anything that works consistently yet, but I usually call Stick, Slants, and Spacing type plays.
