Man scheme

I always ran zone but want to switch to a man scheme. any recommendations on who to get and what abilities to use. (For all db’s, safeties included). I currently run nickle and dime with simmons and pola-mao in the box.

KOs

Don’t do it.

Patrick Peterson with 1 ap one step ahead and cromartie with 1 ap inside shade are popular in man schemes

Don't do it. You have to be very good at making adjustments to run it effectively and even then, it can get torched. I've had numerous one-play TDs given up because a defender covered a different player post-snap than what the pre-play assignment was. Also, OSA is nowhere near as powerful as we originally thought and the only KO that works most of the time is deep out.

Ya people will run crossers all day and your defenders will run into each other and take themselves out of the play. 
 

there is a lot of nuance to successfully running man defense and it’s probably best left to the sweat lords.

Ya me neither, and my mad D got roasted. I’m having much more fun now that I switched back and just lurk zones with Justin Simmons
