Defensive Ability Set Up

What is your defensive ability set up right now? I mostly run Dollar, but having a hard time deciding between inside stuff or zone knock out abilities. Here is what I'm currently running, but I'm looking for other opinions though.

CB:

Moss - Deep Out Zone KO (3 AP)

Hester - Deep Out Zone KO (3 AP)

Safeties

Ronnie Lott - Deep Zone KO (2 AP)

Herb Adderley (at SS) - Deep Zone KO (2 AP)

DL:

Warren Sapp - Light It Up X-Factor Unstoppable Force (1 AP)

Also running 50/50 GOM Future TT

PA on CBs - 3 AP. 

MIDZKO on Sub LB - 3 AP. 
LA on both Sub LBs -0 AP

DIZKO+ PA on FS - 3 AP

DON on Matthews - 1 AP

Inside stuff on DT  - 1 AP

Unstoppable Force on MadaBeast.

using 4 linemen Always. 

when i get Ray Lewis 96, I’ll switch to MIDZKO+ LA for 2 ap. And use the extra 1 ap for sumn else

im not a fan of DOZKO for 3 ap. switching flat zones to 20-25 works for me.

Do flat zone KO activate at 25 yards? always wondered this. i run this set up, but deep out zone KO activates for me

Are you also running the free Lurk Artist / Pick Artist on Moss / Lott / Adderly?

Flat zone KO only activates between 0-10 yards outside the numbers. 

but MIDZKO activates between and outside the numbers, 0-20 and 10-20 yards respectively.

theres always an opportunity cost with non-zero ap abilities. Im still experiment a bit

Yes. Just didn't include them since it doesn't count towards the AP limit (also have lurk artist on Gronk, Lewis, Carmichael, Peppers and Pick Artist on Adderley and Bo Jackson)

Got it. My setup is similar, I run primarily BNOG, 3-3 Cub and Dollar:

FS: Lott - PA + DZKO (2 AP)

SS: Kam - PA + DZKO (2 AP)

CB1: Adderly - PA + DZKO (2 AP)

CB2: Peppers - PA+ DOZKO (3 AP)

Slot: Moss - LA (0 AP)

Sub LB1: Gronk - LA + Avalanche X-Factor (0 AP)

Sub LB2: CA Ray - LA (0 AP)

Left Rush End: Suggs - PA (0AP)

Rush DT1: Madabeast - Inside Stuff + Unstoppable Force X-Factor (1 AP)

Rush DT2: Sapp - Inside Stuff (1 AP)

gotcha. I'm using the light it up on Sapp for 1 AP in place of inside stuff. Plan on grabbing NTL tomorrow. So that may switch some things up for me depending on his abilities (even though he won't get DOZKO)...

Definitely waiting to see those ability stacks tomorrow. If I can get another PA + DZKO for 2 AP to replace Peppers at CB2, I'll probably switch my Light it up token to Sapp for Unstoppable Force. I currently have it on Doug Williams but don't use HRM a ton so I would go back to CA Lamar with 50/50 Ravens and 20/20 CA.

My setup for nickel over

CB

Moss 0 ap lurk artist and unstoppable deep zone ko

Woolen 3 ap DOZKO + 1 ap pick artist

Hester 1 ap pick artist 

S

Peppers 0 ap Lurk Artist + 2 ap DIZKO

Bo 0 ap Pick Artist + 1 ap DIZKO

LBs

Gronk 0 ap Lurk artist + avalanche xfactor 

Carmichael 0 ap lurk artist

DLINE

Carter 1 ap inside stuff

Madabeast 1 ap inside stuff + aka unstoppable force

Inside stuff is good when it activates but in my experience good players know how to play around it so it can sometimes feel like you're wasting ap depending on the quality of your opponent. I've been thinking about switching it out for a mzko on one of my LBs.
