<p>So CJ2K played alright for me. He played like I expected him to. Got to the edges quickly and probably was able to turn the corner on runs that no other HB in the game can (96 accel).....however, once a defender gets his hands on him, I don't care …</p>

<p>Neither. I leave my CBs where they are. I find sorting them in coaching adjustments doesn't always work out too well, but that's just me</p>ForceFLEX16 said:do you sort by speed or height?
ive tried both i think i get burned more often on speed believe it or not - that 20 yard vertical route the cpu runs where they just jump straight up on a dime and snag it

<p>Lachry, do you run zone/man, or a combination? I found Woolen to be much more effective in zone but I run a mainly man scheme and in that scheme Haynes was better</p>lachry said:Woolen has been the best CB I've used all year by far, and I've tried a bunch (including Tillman and now Deion).
I run strictly zone and have him equipped w/ pick artist (like every DB I use). He by FAR gets the best animations on 50/50 balls and jumps so many routes its unreal. I had him @ CB2 because of having Deion, and he played so well I went ahead and swapped them, and he's just as amazing @ CB1.
It's odd, I thought his comp card was pretty bad. I had such high hopes for the comp version, and it just played horribly for me. I scooped the TG LTD in plans to flip it in a few weeks, but after trying it, he has a spot on the roster for awhile.

<p>The thing with Metzelaars is, he can block, he can run, he can break tackles, and he's 6'7". He can stiff arm with the best of them. Acrobat for 2 AP is awesome. Between Aeneas and Ed Reed, some great plays are made with that ability</p>SlowAndSteady said:I haven’t tried Metzelaars but I would like to unless we get a Vernon Davis some time soon. I really wanted Delanie to be the guy he just didn’t do anything in the pass game. If I had a big enough coin stack I absolutely would put him at TE2, just can’t afford the price tag right now.
I agree Cromwell still plays great and I fully support sticking with cards that play well for you. No reason to switch until there is a REASON to switch. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
Also I’ve got Ty Law in the slot and he is always making plays for me. I wish he could get Acro for 2AP like Aeneas does though.

<p>That honorary lineman is amazing. Its why I keep Hines Ward in the lineup. He gets it for 1 AP as well.</p>SlowAndSteady said:It’s going to sound crazy but Nightmare gets better separation for me. I put the TE on streaks pretty frequently and somehow he gets down the field faster and moves better. He’s gotten better separation on corner routes and drags, I don’t know if it‘s because of his smaller frame or maybe better agility? His run blocking is amazing and Honorary Lineman for 1AP has also been really effective mostly on outside runs.
Side note, now that I think about it I’m also still using TE Tremaine Edmonds at FB and he does the job EXTREMELY well.

<p>He's a man archetype. Running zone with him you are going to get less effective play. Also, how are your coaching adjustments set on ball in air? default, plays ball, plays receiver, etc?</p>BungSmuggler said:i've had Deion since last Friday, and i highly recommend going for the swat unless you have perfect position for a pick. You should probably doing that for all your DB's anyway, but Primetime has gotten burned a few times when i went for the pick. I've also noticed he plays way better in man than in zone, which kinda sucks because i run mostly zone.

<p>BIG difference. RG3's senses pressure trait is "ideal". Fields is "paranoid" That definitely makes a difference especially against a pass rusher with under pressure on him. RG3's TUP is 93, Fields is 88. Again, huge difference . And RG3 has the clut…</p>veneo2937 said:hes like rg3 but better thp

<p>That's the thing.....I think Haynes has played better for me than Woolen....and I love Aeneas in the slot......no way I am going to keep a 900K coin card as my #4 or 5 CB so I may try him in the slot but likely will sell now that I have Deion.</p>SlowAndSteady said:Got Woolen moved to CB2 and he’s played much better for me this morning. I should have Deion this week so I will have to figure out where to put him as well.
