Spent 3 hrs this morning trying to get AKA Karlaftis set card to do something…ANYTHING

I got him Monday when he dropped and all week he seemed underwhelming. Finally had more time to REALLY test him out this morning and the results were the same.

I tried him at LE, RE, and DT, Colossus or UF. DoN or DoN-less. I couldn’t get him to do anything at all. Maybe had 1 tackle for loss?

I would go back and watch each game to see if he was at least shedding and pressuring the QB, nope. Every time I saw him light up and get a quick shed he would immediately engage with another o-lineman instead or going around them.

After using his Super Bowl card for soooo long because it was dominant for me I am highly disappointed with this card.

Also before anyone asks I only used him in H2H modes. Ranked and Champs.

Side note:

The best thing I learned from this is that Too Tall and Larry Allen continued to perform amazing no matter where I moved them.

Glad I’m not the only one. Sold him this morning before turning off my console.

This is so strange to me, folks aren't having good success with Furious George, eh?  I've got the LTD version, but opposite Chubb, my pass rush is as elite as it's been all year; Chubb (Unstoppable Force), Larry (Colossus), T. Sweat (Unstoppable Force) & George (Colossus) -- i posted my full ability stack elsewhere, but i highly doubt it's the DoN + ET combo that's getting me pressures.

Everyone has Secure Protector + All Day now, so it's going to counter most of our elite pass rush moves, but Colossus WILL get you sheds, it just won't always be under 2-3 seconds, however it very often will be a footrace to the QB, at least that has been my experience.

Things just weren't clicking like they were in my previous lineups at first until i moved a few pieces around...now getting much better results than the previous group. Gonna be another round of musical chairs come monday when abdul or george gets replaced by the freak.

I nearly forgot, another Titans theme team piece. Not sure there is much room for improvement beyond Chubb and George... I've been keeping Hunter Combine at LE for his speed boost.

Apparently theres a glitch with olb getting bodied off the line on the run vs oline men w nasty streak. For whatever reason nasty streak can pancake olb rushing off the edge on runs regardless if in open space or not.

Interesting, thanks for explaining this to me. Apparently I haven't noticed it that much, as I've just got Chubb in at RRE, often put T. Sweat at RE for 3-4 Odd.

Come to think of it, my Even 6-1 was kind of getting blown up with Chubb at RE, but didn't really think much of it at the time. Someone else mentioned or referenced this, but I didn't fully grasp what they were saying at the time. 

Will have to keep an eye on it. I've definitely got five wide Nasty Streak across my entire O-line. 💪

I think there’s an issue with colossus on DE. Someone said it a week ago or so.

yeah he dont seem that goated as one might think. i think larry allen is still the best

I have Sweat at DT2 but I think I’m going to move him to end and see he how does.

I haven’t tried Carter or Chubb yet. It would be nice if I could get the d-line down to 2AP with 3UF’s and Larry. But I guess I have to spend the AP somewhere.
