Block 6 or 7.  double team and ID the mike also  shift your line every single play. Route combos is something I struggle with to at times but zigs are really good. Try getting the ball out a little faster. Or you could just run a double pass and hope he doesn’t know how to cover it!😂

RUN THE BALL. Up the gut.

Zig routes, zig routes, and more zig routes. They’ll torch almost any db in man and are by far the best man beating routes.

Corner routes sometimes work and sometimes don’t. I like to try them because they have big play potential and can be pretty good.

If they try pressing a player with Double Me or Max Security or Rac Em Up put the receiver on a streak. It will beat the press.

Wheel routes from receivers can be good, especially against press, but I don’t use them much.

If they are shading outside to defend those previous routes put an in-breaking route on the field, such as a slant or a drag.

I almost always block the running back against heavy man blitzers. There aren’t many running back routes that torch man coverage, and it allows me to put my tight end on a corner route or zig or any other good man beater.

The best man players will put zones on the field to take away the best routes, drop players into coverage, and blitz randomly. Those are the hardest to play against. Running the ball can sometimes be effective, especially up the middle. 
Good luck!

Took me a while to figure out how to block this, but you need to keep your Tight End in to block, the running back doesn't seem to want to pick up the edge rusher coming through, at least not reliably.  So from any formation where your TE is aligned with the rest of the offensive line, you should be good to go.

Basically, just keep the TE in to block, set up your routes as you normally would (using plenty of Man-beaters, such as Wheel routes, Zigs, etc) and ID the Mike on the opposite side from your Tight End.

Yes! My go to with Faalele and vanguard interior lineman! HB direct in the Seahawks playbook with motioning a vanguard receiver over is the way to go
