Lurker on Defensive Line????

Does adding this ability give them extra animations if I zone them? Is this ability only used when you are usering the player?

I don’t think any d-linemen get lurker unless they are a lolb or a rolb. If they did though, then it would definitely help if they were in a zone.

With Lurker they will get jumping animations like DB’s get. You don’t have to user them for it to activate but so far when I have tried this with Julius Peppers he dropped a lot of INT’s that he should’ve caught. On the other hand I have used Sam Adams as a QB Spy quite a bit and he has made a lot of INT’s on quick passes over the middle with no Lurker.

If you are using plays that frequently put your DE’s into coverage you should definitely give it a try. I know Peppers and Too Tall both get Lurker for 1AP. Then obviously there are several OLB’s to choose from as well.

Peppers is a demon that I break out every once in a while as a user on the dline.  Especially if my opponent keeps throwing angle or table routes.  It usually results in a pick six game over.  But I do not beleive it helps them if they are CPU controlled.  For 1 Ap it is worth it in my opinion especially if it leads to a key turnover and a win.

Lurker works whether it's usered or CPU controlled.  If you are playing someone that is slant/drag routing you, lurker QB spy a lineman for an easy pick.

I currently don't have a lurker lineman, I sold peppers and too tall, but I keep lurker on Hendricks and formation sub him at DT on my dime package if they are dragging me.

So he will activate on cpu or only on user?

Yes, Lurker still activates on CPU.

Yes lurker will activate on CPU controlled players

It will but eh. Lurker usually isn’t worth the points
