The cover two is designed to double team your outside WR's. Tyler Boyd was averaging 15 yards per catch at the start of the season the highest he ever had. You can get chunk plays by sending your outside WR deep drawing coverage downfield and attacking underneath but still 15 yards downfield which is a chunk play. Your Slot TE and RB can all get 10-to-20-yard chunk plays while attacking cover two. You seem to be under the impression chunk plays are 40 yards downfield which is untrue. We was using our RB and TE mostly as 5-yard checkdowns and not pushing the ball downfield against cover two. We also threw a ton of behind the line of scrimmage throws and screens which got blew up 80% of the time and put us in 2nd and 12 or 3rd and 10. Bad scheme attacking too short and making us have 10, 12, 15 play drives. Joe Burrow is one of the most accurate QB in the NFL and you want him to throw checkdowns all year negating his strength. 20 yard throws are perfect for Joe to tear up cover two the intermediate routes playing to his strengths and attacking {again for those in the cheap seats} with TE, RB and the slot WR getting 15-to-20-yard chunk plays.

You would like to get the other team out of cover two so we can go downfield to Chase and Higgins more right? Since we plan on paying these guys a ton of cash well get chunk plays underneath to do it.

What you are talking about is man 2 which is not a struggle for this team or most teams in the league. It does provide help outside on your receivers but again this isn’t what has been giving teams issues as of late it’s the two over five under zone defense.

Well, that’s my experience in madden anyway.  LOL

In the following highlight video what you can take away from it is that Washington is a natural pass catcher that has no issue catching a ball in traffic and who understands how to settle into the open spots in a zone which is what the Bengals ask their TEs to do on a regular basis. You can also take from the video that he is a tough tackle with the ball in his hands and is looking for yards after the catch.

The ceiling on Washington is extremely high which is what you want from a first round selection.
