Adderley in no man’s land

Why does my adderley card seem so terrible for me? I’m playing him at slot corner with flat zone KO. He’s the highest rated Corner I’ve used in the slot and he is replacing Riq woolen ZC. Against the run and the pass he’s always getting cooked. During stretch runs he’s always multiple steps behind. Worst slot db I’ve used all year despite being my highest… really funky

I honestly do not know, i doubt it's the player/card.  I've mostly been running Adderley on the outside, opposite Charvarius Ward, using Williams and Ji`Ayir Brown as Slot corners.  Having Brown with reliable pass rush stats (PMV/FMV at or above 71) ensures that i won't be constantly getting tired if/when i decide to blitz one of my Slot corners.

The Flat Zone ability should ensure that Adderley is reacting well in pass coverage, so none of this makes sense.  Run fits/defense can be suspect, at best.  Perhaps try moving him back to the outside and hope for the best?  Wish i had some actual advice here, sorry i'm coming up blank.

Idk man adderly has been a stud for me on the edge with deep zone KO. Not sure about the slot.

I only put him on my team because of the 1 AP flat zone, I’ll probably get rid of him. could it be his acceleration? It’s only a 91

In my experience any player is good with DZKO. I still have ty law starting outside and he’s a baller for me lol

Sure, sure, that DZKO ability is second to none, IMO -- only reason i'm NOT using Ty Law is due to his speed.  All my other DBs are 98/99 SPD with 70/70 Superbowl chems.  Heck, i just had to bench Randy Moss because he was "only" 96 SPD on my 25/50 49ers theme team.

Yea probably right to a certain degree. With that being said I had Ward out there with DZKO and he was sold because he just didn’t make plays on the ball. Adderly Atleast gets ints and doesn’t leave you scratching your head.

I have Adderly in the slot with mid zone and PA. Plays really well for me there.

My MID/Flat Zone KO players sometimes ‘overcommit’ because they react hard to a player coming into their zone, so they leave space underneath. 

that said, the KOs  still results in more Ints/breakups than blown coverages
