Favorite outside cbs?

Posts: 12 |

I was wondering who are y’all’s favorite cbs to run on the outside. I have Deion and Nnamdi on the outside and Brian branch in my slot. I run a zone scheme and have the KOs on my cbs but I feel like my outside cbs never do anything. I get all my plays from the slot and my safeties. are there better option for outside cbs or am I just not running them right? Does anyone else have this problem?

Deion/Nnamdi outside. Peanut slot. I don't like branch because of his mid 70s PRS stat which means he'll get burned a lot.

Yeah his press is bad but I don’t press that much with my slot cb. Branch plays really well for me but I have found most cbs I put in the slot play well for me. Ive used peanut, fuller, and even Trevon Diggs (cowboys TT) and they have all played really well.

Deion is my outside CB1. Deep Zone and Mid Zone for 1 AP is a must. Peanut might be even better than Deion on the outside, but I run him in the slot with 0 AP Mid Zone and Flat Zone. My CB2 is currently Reshad Jones, but that is one position that I'm looking to upgrade when somebody faster comes out. I run Branch deep.

Derwin still the goat at outside corner. Best AP stack in the game.

At the moment I've got Deion and Tariq on the outsides, both with Deep + Mid Zone KOs, then Peanut Tillman and Sauce in the Slot, but gonna build Nnamdi once i decide where to play him. Possibly/probably going to move Deion to the Slot and bench Sauce, although i'll really miss his height. I loved having Deion in the slot last year, his RoH card was so amazing, but then again, Acrobat was a decent ability last year.

Taller corners can cover way more "3D" real estate, or grass area on the field... they remain at a premium, especailly 6'3" or taller, that's fairly rare, even in MUT. At least until we start getting a bunch more OOP cards.

Deion/Lattimore outside. IMO, your set up looks fine. Outside cbs usually make plays via KOs since most people just run corner routes. not many people throw go-routes
