Are abilities on CB’s a waste?
Personally I don’t like having abilities on corners just because it mostly only benefits against the passing game. I’d rather have 2 pass rushers because I can put inside stuff along with pass rushing abilities and then my abilities are beneficial in both the Run and the Pass. That’s just my logic behind it tho.
If a corner has abilities it’s literally impossible for me to throw to their side of the field
Enforcer on a CB is the best ability on defense I've used this year - NTL with enforcer is lights out
For fun I put abilities on 3 of my corners. NTL has enforcer so I have him in the slot or as safety. I rely on positioning and scheme to stop the run. Its been working pretty well. I have Byron and Jimmy Smith on the outside. With their 99 press and abilities it makes man defense very powerful.
Good stuff! I’m mostly doing this for fun as well. Keeping lurker on MLB Shazier because I used him, but I kinda wanna max out my CB ability!!
I haven't run NTL without abilities yet. With them, he is an animal. I keep him in the slot to be closer to the box for run D.
I keep him in the slot for the same reason!
It's also nice for squads, where I primarily am defensive captain. Let's people have someone else to user/hit stick with (LB, SS, NTL) so we can leave CPU Ed Reed alone in the back preventing the long TDs when we do stupid things.
I know i had them on NTL and recently moved them to MJG and havent noticed a difference in NTL play.
I know most people like them on their safeties, but I run a ton of Zone and enjoy having zoned out/zone hawk etc on my corners. Does anyone think it’s a waste ? Does anyone like the idea? Thank you
