Offensive Playbook & Routes

Timing your pass after the snap is the core of Football Bros. Here is how to run each offensive play:

Passing

Quick Slant

Receiver cuts across the middle. Perfect when the defense brings an aggressive safety blitz.

Tip: Throw right as the receiver makes his cut across the field.

Deep Pass

Deep Post

Receiver sprints deep before cutting toward the goalposts. High risk, maximum touchdown yardage.

Tip: Step up in the pocket to avoid edge rushers before throwing.

Rushing

HB Dive

A straight run up the middle. Great for pick-up downs and keeping the opposing defense honest.

Tip: Save your Turbo burst until you break past the first defender.

Short Pass

Curl Flat

Targets the sideline. If the defender drops back into coverage, dump it off for an easy 8 yards.

Tip: Release the pass early before the boundary corner can react.

End of Half

Hail Mary (Four Verts)

Sends all receivers straight downfield. Best play when time is running out at the end of the half.

Tip: Aim for the single receiver with one-on-one coverage.

Scramble

QB Bootleg

Fake the handoff and roll outside with your quarterback. If receivers are covered, run for the first down.

Tip: Use the dive key near the sideline to avoid heavy tackling hits.

Defense & Tackling Tips

Good defense comes down to cutting off angles rather than chasing the ball carrier from behind.

Pressure

Edge Blitz

Crash your linebackers into the pocket. Puts quick pressure on the passer before deep routes develop.

Watch out for quick running back dump-offs in the flat.

Zone

Cover 2

Two deep safeties cover the sidelines and deep middle. Your safest option against long pass attempts.

Control your middle defender to guard crossing routes manually.

Short Yardage

Goal Line Stand

Loads 5 defenders on the line of scrimmage inside the 5-yard line to shut down quarterback sneaks.

Dive immediately when the running back takes the handoff.
