Sratagey Item question - DB vs CB/S vs SS/FS

What is the difference Between a strat item that says DB or one that says CB/S? I assume they are exactly the same as DB - Defensive Backs - and the CB/S is Corner Back and Safety.. 

Also - There are CB/S - Corner Back and Safety along with others that have FS/SS - Free Safety and Strong Safety.. 

• Man 2 Man (CB/S)
  • +4 MCV, +2 PRS, +2 PRC, +1 CTH
• Mind Reader (MLB/FS/SS)
  • +4 PRC, +4 AWR, +1 TAK
• Run Stuff (DL)
  • +2 PUR, +4 BSH, +2 IBL, +1 POW
• *Slot Specialist (DB)
  • +3 ZCV, +3 MCV, +2 PRS, +1 TAK

Unless they updated it and I havent treid since, CB/S is CB and SS only. 

DB is all CB/FS/SS. 

DL is down line men

I'm almost positive CB/S also boosts FS but I will check later. I always wondered why they would make one that says DBs and one that says CB/S ...I believe DB = CB/S. I have Ball Hawk for CB/S and I am nearly positive it boosts Peppers and Dawkins on my squad

Like I said, I havent tried any of the other ones since the beginning of the game. 

Back then it was only CB and SS. Because Rod Woodson was FS it didnt buff him any. And when I chemmed him up and put him in CB position it still didnt count it. I think at some point at one of the updates, I wanna say when purple was intro they changed it to possibly do all of them. 

They really just need to intermingle more positions for S, Edge, DI, CB.
