(Shutdown) Best Safety In The Game? (Weekly Positional Poll Season 2 - #2)

Shutdown to avoid future unnecessary referencing/bumping

Bump :)

I voted for Bo Jackson. Great ability discounts, fast, decent height, good man and zone, good against the run, and super quick at moving side to side with his high agility and COD.

Only knock on Bo is that he's 6'1" which is pretty short when compared to Peppers and Hendricks, but I felt like Hendricks and Peppers didn't react as well to the ball as Bo does (though I do feel like old gen could be the reason why. Bigger players feel clunky on old gen where as on current/next gen, it seems like that's less of an issue).

peppers has been great for me

The stats might not show it but Thomas SR. has been playing like a beast for me.

I think it's gotta be Bo.  His versatility is just insane.

For me, with his COD/Agility he feels like the best user in the game, and he gets Pick Artist for 0 AP and Acro for 1 AP.

You can throw him at deep safety and run Pick Artist/Deep Out Zone KO for 1 AP. 

As a hybrid archetype, you can even make him the hardest hitting corner in the game in a press man scheme and run Medium Route KO/Pick Artist for 2 AP or Medium Route KO/Deep Route KO for 3 AP.

I do think Peppers is the best deep safety in the game if you just let him play on his own.

He's played great for me as well. Great run support and coverage ability. He's overlooked because he isn't super tall, but I felt like the really big guys felt slow when playing deep.

Hendricks > Peppers > Bo > ST21/Thomas SR

Updated with new TOTW safeties :)

Peppers is a beast deep for me. I also play Ted deep and he is insane at breaking up passes.

Up top is Peppers and User is Bo for me

Bump :))

Bump :)))

My son had Bo Jackson and he was awesome. Not worth the coins to me and Hendricks has been a beast for me.
