Bucs Spread Attack

TheActualCC's Gun 5WR Tight scheme
Created by TheActualCC
The Bucs playbook is small, and that is the whole appeal. TheActualCC lives in Gun 5WR Tight, runs the entire passing game off one audible set, drops into Gun Empty Quads when he wants the quarterback to carry it, and keeps Singleback Bunch TE around for a quick run he can audible down to. Filmed on day one of Madden 27. Three formations, seven videos, no filler.

Start With The Overview
TheActualCC filmed this on day one of Madden 27. It covers substitutions, packages, and the general ideas behind the scheme before you touch a single play. Watch it first, then work the play cards.
  • The Bucs playbook is small. You are going to live in three formations, not thirty.
  • Gun 5WR Tight is the base. Every pass concept in this guide is called from it, including the red zone.
  • Gun Empty Quads is the second formation, and it is where the quarterback run game lives.
  • Singleback Bunch TE is the tie-in. It exists so you have a quick run to audible down to.
  • The overview covers substitutions and packages. Get those set before you run any of the plays below.

Set Up
  1. 1Come out in Gun 5WR Tight and call Clear Deep.
  2. 2CORNER ROUTE on the trips side receiver.
  3. 3DRAG the receiver on the left.
  4. 4You have other options off the same look if you want them: flat, curl, and more.
  5. 5Watch the video for the full read and the timing on each option.
Adjustments
  • The corner and the drag give you an answer against both coverage families out of one call, which is why this is the concept TheActualCC starts from.
  • The flat and curl options are there when the look does not give you the corner. Take what the setup gives you rather than forcing the deep route.

FAQ

What playbook and formations is this?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers playbook. It is a small book and that is the appeal. You live in Gun 5WR Tight, drop into Gun Empty Quads for the quarterback run game, and keep Singleback Bunch TE around for a quick run you can audible down to.
How many videos do I get?
Seven. The scheme overview, the 5WR Tight audible breakdown, three plays out of 5WR Tight including the red zone pass, and one video each on Empty Quads and Singleback Bunch TE.
Is this a full breakdown of the whole playbook?
No, and that is on purpose. The Bucs book is small. This is the scheme TheActualCC actually runs out of it, filmed on day one of Madden 27, not a tour of every formation on the menu.
What game modes does it work in?
Anywhere you play a human: ranked head to head, Ultimate Team, online franchise, and tournament play.
Will this get patched out?
Every guide is a living guide. When Madden 27 patches change what works, the scheme gets updated and you keep access at no extra cost.
Do I get access right away?
Yes. Checkout takes about a minute and the full guide unlocks instantly. Lifetime access, and updates after EA patches are free.
I am new to competitive Madden. Is this for me?
Yes. Most of the setups here are one or two hot routes, and you are working out of one formation for most of the game. Start with the overview, learn the 5WR Tight audibles, then add Empty Quads once the passing game feels comfortable.
Three Formations. One Audible Set. Filmed Day One.
TheActualCC's Bucs scheme: Gun 5WR Tight as the base, Gun Empty Quads for the quarterback run game, and Singleback Bunch TE to audible down to when you just need the quick run. Every hot route he uses, plus the red zone pass.
