Dallas Cowboys play book
After watching last night's game against the Bucs, the first thing I noticed is the plays called where NOT like the onse listed in the default Dallas play book. This may be a stretch, but which PB best resembles what they ran. I saw Dak come out in some pistol at times.

I assume things will change in the Cowboys live playbook soon.
Last year the Cowboys ran 11 personnel something like 77% of the time, they didn’t move their receivers around the formation much if at all (they didn’t have time to teach each receiver the different positions due to COVID restrictions; CeeDee Lamb was almost exclusively a slot receiver in 2020), and they rarely if ever put Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard on the field at the same time. The offense we saw last night was much more diverse than anything Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore put on tape last season.
As to answer your question - maybe the Dolphins? They have a few Pistol sets, they have under center zone runs, and they have many shotgun passing sets, including one which puts two RBs on the field. They don’t look like they have many shotgun sets with an offset running back, though, which means if you put Tony Pollard as 3DRB1 on the depth chart he’s going to get into the game more in shotgun, whereas the Cowboys made heavy use of Zeke from their shotgun passes last night as a sixth pass protector and don’t really employ the concept of a 3rd down back in their offense. -

Very nice feedback....ill be sure to.lab with the Phins PB. Yeah I really like how they stayed away from the run as the Bucs had the boxed stacked almost all night. Why not throw it 50 plus times.I assume things will change in the Cowboys live playbook soon.

Re: Dallas Cowboys play book
The cowboy’s playbook has been the same since I started playing madden again in ‘17. Eagles still have Chip Kelly plays/formations. As someone who always builds their own playbook from scratch, Madden is way past due for showing some love to the playbook feature.Comment

Yeah it seems only a few playbooks are touched per year. Far and away the most stale aspect of the game.Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira - UFC Hall of FameComment

Re: Dallas Cowboys play book
This has been an area of frustration for me as well. Generalized plays for all teams. I’ve found making a custom playbook is the only way, but it’s a time commitment. I start with the Rams playbook (Kellen Moore has admitted in the past to stealing plays from McVay and admiring their close formations and pre-snap movement) and then add a few formations and 9-12 plays in those.Comment
