Shutdown vs Universal Coverage vs Zone Hawk

What’s the consensus on theses-factors? Running a primarily zone D with Zone KO‘s and PA on my starting safeties and outside corners.  My guys are all tall (Sherman, Calvin, Lynch, Sean T) and I hardly ever drop picks due to PA so I’m mainly looking for which one of these x-factors will boost coverage skills. Or I might put reinforcement on my sub lb’s.

Which one have you guys had the most success activating/noticing a difference once activated

For me, universal coverage has worked the best. It essentially improves your player's ability to cover man and zone greatly and makes any receiver drop a ball near them. Hope this helps!

Same i use this on all my DB's

Universal coverage is by far the best defensive x factor IMO. Not counting the crazy AKA ones.

Universal clears... bets x factor in the game. and reinforcement is really good on sublb because its knockouts and gets you off blocks in the run game.

Good to know, thanks. Probably gonna run two universals in the secondary and then reinforcement in my user.  Any preference on where to put the UC? I.e. both safeties, outside corners, one in the slot etc…
