Arrow

The Arrow tag flags plays that feature an arrow route, the flat-breaking angle route run by a tight end, slot receiver, or back that attacks the space vacated underneath by man defenders and sits down in the void against Cover 3 and Cover 4. In Madden it shows up in concepts like RPO Read Y Arrow out of Shotgun Doubles Off Close, where the arrow pairs with the run read to punish crashing linebackers and unblocked edge defenders. Filtering by Arrow gets you straight to those quick-hitting man beaters and flat stretchers, which is useful if your scheme leans on RPO reads, drive-and-arrow combos, or fast checkdowns against blitz-heavy opponents.
