Madden 24 - Jacksonville Jaguars Playbook

The way I'm approaching the Jaguars playbook is strictly that I'm going to be gimmicky if I use it. So to me I would want to go full force Dungeons and Dragons and do something nerdy like coming out in Gun Double Stack with 3 Running backs and audibling to Pistol Full House Close. Full House Close is what interests me the most. I think you need a secondary set with it and using a 3 RB personnel is so hard to commit to as far as passing. So why not come out in Double Stack with 1 RB in the backfield and the other 2 as the smoke screen's in the deadly READ RPO in there.

Other respectable formations : SB Wing Flex Close, Sb Deuce Close, SB Wing Tight, SB Wing Slot, SB Bunch X Nasty (missing plays), SB Tight Y Off.

There's also new and unique plays sprinkled into this book from different formations.

Litez's Top 3 Favorite Formations in Jacksonville Jaguars Playbook Madden 24

Pistol Full House Close - Symmetrical so everything can be flipped including that Triple Option. Two Slot Apprentices or of course HRM will makes this formation great imo

 

Gun Doubles Stack - I think this would probably be the best formation to use with Pistol Full House Close. Start off in this with 3 running backs. 1 Runningback in the backfield and the other 2 as the Outside Wide Receivers. Spam the Read RPO with the Running Backs on the smoke screens mixed with simple passes. Force them to have D for this and then audible out.

 

Singleback Wing Flex Close - Full version of this formation that has just about everything you need. It doesn't fit into a scheme with the Pistol Full House Close, but there are other usable 2 TE sets in Jaguars like SB Wing Slot.  Or maybe coming out in SB Bunch X Nasty withe 2 TE personnel and audibling to Wing Flex Close.

Thoughts & Analysis on the Jacksonville Jaguars Madden 24 Playbook

  •  SB Wing Slot

This may be one of the more underrated UC sets in this year’s game.  With the run game making a comeback, this has a flippable stretch, dive and a power o.  The pass plays has PA boot sail, a deep corner by the inside TE (streak the outside te on short side to get him open vs zone) and a deep post and shallow cross from the backside.  Has PA TE Scissors.  This is a popular concept they’ve introduced to M24.  A post and corner right next to each other compressed, and a corner on the opposite side.  You can attack either sidelines with the deep corners and streak next to it.  The post/corner going the same direction is a concept they’ve seemed to add a lot of this year.  

 

  •  SB Bunch X Nasty

The SB bunch x nasty is almost complete.  Missing a few plays, but good enough to run.  The fact that you can motion the rb to the line to block or put on routes, should make this even more usable in M24.  Also, the fact that the TE can now block without using motion, is huge.  Tight ends were horrible at blocking last year without secure protector as they’d get ragdolled.  They changed that this year so formations like this are going to be even better.

 

  •  Pistol Full House Close

The Falcons offense is centered around the run game and mainly operating out of the pistol.  Only 6 plays here so not a full scheme but for passing you have Corners to threaten the sidelines against man, PA cross to attack the middle with a skinny post and crosser, and curls has an angle route.  The real benefit here is that you can flip the play without a tell, and the WR’s are compressed and get slot hot routes.  Running game has a triple option that can be flipped and could be tough

 

  •  Gun Bunch Wide Nasty

A new formation, it’s very similar to the bunch y flex.  Jags Duval is the play that stands out.  It’s a levels concept in the middle of the field that also has a corner by the solo wr to go with a deep in, shallow drag and unique crosser.  Can be used to flood the weak side late.  There are all sorts of deep ins, corners and pivots.  The blocking is the main issue for me here.  Still might be fun if you’re ok with 5 out or just blocking the rb.

 

  •  Gun Tight Slots

One of the few books with this formation.  PA Seams and PA clown shot are two PA plays with crossers going opposite directions.  Has bench swap and drive trail.  Missing quite a bit to make this feasible but if you like tight formations, worth looking at

 

Overall Thoughts:  If you are a Jaguars fan, that would be your only reason to run this.  MAYBE bunch wide nasty
