EA SportsPrima Games is here to teach you how to call plays better than the NFC East coaches.

Whether you're playing against friends online or knee-deep in your team's franchise, if there's one thing about playing "Madden" it's the fact that gamers are always looking for those one or two plays to help put them over the edge.

That's why Prima Games is here to help, providing a couple of the best plays for every team in the game and breaking down the best way to run them (while at the same time running your opponent into the ground).

This week, Prima gives up the goods for the NFC East. Enjoy.

Gun Flip Trips, HB Mid Draw: If you watch the Dallas Cowboys then you are very familiar with all of the draw plays that they run. We like this playbook because of how many draw plays we have access to when in the Gun formation. The HB Mid Draw out of the Gun Flip Trips is an exceptional running play because of the tight alignment of two of the receivers to the trips side of the formation.

Once we have the ball in the back's hands, we can read the blocks being set by our linemen and receivers. The tight alignment of two of the three receivers to the trips side turns this draw into a run that feels more like a dominant Off Tackle play. We have the size of our linemen and the height and speed of our receivers to help seal the defenders inside and let Felix Jones get around the edge.

Use this play to punish an opponent who likes to sit multiple defenders back in coverage.
