What Kind of Pass Coverage should I use

[crob8822]

Hey all you Madden Coaches I have a big game coming up. My Cowboys are playing the Phildelphia Eagles, the Eagles are currently in 1st place with a 9-2 record and we are in third with a record of 7-5, Both my starting cornerbacks are out, the corners that are replacing them are in the 60's and 70's overall I was think of playing cover 2 with loose coverage. I do not want to expose neither to single coverage, I know that I also have to watch out for Donovan McNabb running I need this win to stay in pace for a possible wild card spot.
what would you guys do.

Seriously? Pray.

Do you have a good DL and LBs? IIRC the Cowboys use primarily a 4-3, so I would try rushing the 4 DLs and MLB every play, putting the two OLBs into zone to protect the middle of the field, or out in flats.

Or you could just run dime and quarter and hope to hell they don't run all over you.

That sound good but with the LB in the flats and your MLB rushing the passer Donovan McNabb will have lanes to run through, What I will do is play cover 2 that way my LB's could keep an eye on their QB, I will try to run the ball on offense and try to use up the clock. I will loosen my corners so that nothing will get past them and make the Eagles drive down the field. I feel that field position is key I will give you guys the results when the game is played.

[JustinM]

The only thing I worry about there is that you'll have little pressure on the QB unless you're using particularly forgiving AI sliders.

If i was you i would go with some type of zone blitz but i blitz every play regardless i feel i'm prety good especially against the computer so blitz the more pressure on the QB the better coverage you will play atleast thats my approach

Well I play the Game and the results were as expected Philadelphia 44 Dallas 7
I tell you that I could not stop them both on the ground and in the air.
I tried to zone blitz as one person advised and Mc Nabb just step in the pocket and hit Irv Smith in stride for 25 yards. I played the cover 2 zone and they just marched up and down the field. My young cornerbacks were over match with such low tak and awr the could not bring owens down woodson and Williams led in tackles. offensively philly defense held Julius Jones to 57 yard rushing on 22 attempts here is the line score, thanks for helping I just learned that you need depth in order to compete what is worse I've lost Larry Allen for the rest of the season.
