Haven’t played in a few months Before LBs were useless cause they couldn’t jump and were too slow and we all subbed safties in. Are we still subbing safeties or are you guys using linebackers now and if so which ones? I play Most nickel and big nickel

If you're on current gen, yes as long as you use the lurk artist ability. Since it's only 1 ap it's easy to fit it in.

If you're on old gen safeties are probably still the move

My answer is both. I use basically pure BNOG and I have Jordan Hicks and Ted Hendricks subbed in, but you MUST use Lurk Artist on a LB if you want to user them. Safeties are still plenty viable there and better for man coverage schemes, but they get bullied in run sets.

which ones?

those with the Lurk Artist ability (Jack Campbell, Derrick Brooks, Luke Kuechly, Kenneth Murray Jr., Devin White, and so on

it's basically Lurker + Pick Artist for 1 AP: https://www.abilities.fyi/abilities/compare?ids=lurk-artist,lurker,pick-artist

Still love my safeties as subs but I move to 4-3 for run d and its setup with LBs of course.
