My defense does nothing

It does make sense because now that I think about it I saw one tip on YouTube about enabling match while setting his zone drops to 15 or something, haha. There's a lot of misinformation out there about how to enable match and it probably makes people think it doesn't work or isn't good.

Question. Should i replace Taylor at FS with Blount? And i'm trying to find a replacement for Krause. Was looking at Simmons since he has decent man coverage.

I like the update. I’m having more success in base packages now. Great for stopping the run and I’m actually able to stop the pass unlike before. 3-4/4-4 and I’m stopping people from dropping bombs, and that wasn’t happening before.

I'd recommend Ed Reed at FS if you're willing to spend the coins. He has worse man coverage but superior zone coverage. It's my understanding the zone coverage rating is still something you want to consider for players in match coverage. Plus I think Reed's +2 speed advantage is worth considering. If they FS ends up covering a 90 speed WR or TE, I'd much rather have 87 speed in coverage than 85 speed. 

I agree that Simmons would probably be at least decent in match coverage seem good.

My two cents, you can afford to have one player with low man coverage as long as that player is your primary user since you'll be the one responsible for coverage. This is what I'd do with Krause/Taylor if you wanted to keep one of them.

Play rec is king with match coverage you want ideally 90prc but 85 is bare minimum. what is your players prc that are now doing nothing for you? That could be your issue with why your guys aren’t covering and can stay in whatever defense you’re comfortable with. I jump between match and zone drops. I love these guys who no huddle because they think they can exploit the coverage they just saw. I will call something like cover 4  match and don’t audible out of it and will have changed it into cover 4 zone and these guys will throw the ball right to me

Good idea. I originally had Reed at FS and Taylor as a sub lber but once Krause dropped, i put him at sub lber and Taylor at FS. My other sub lb is Troy. I think i'm gonna put Reed back at FS and maybe get Simmons to replace Krause. That way i'm balanced all over the field. I also like to user both sub lb

Do you suggest to get rid of anyone under 85 play rec? Pat Pete has 84 play rec i think but 90 man and 90 zone

I had Pat Pete and he wasn’t doing the job for me in match often failing to play his zone or match and watch plays happen

Funny thing is, 86 AJ Terrell in Pet Petes spot was insane and did everything. I wonder if his play rec had anything to do with it. I think it's 86

Aj terrell play Rec Is 86 and the Marcus peters that just came out has the play rec to.

Sounds like a good plan. I've heard that Simmons is an amazing user so I hope you enjoy him if you end up buying him

How aren’t you getting ran all over with safeties in at mlb. I tried it and was getting destroyed by power runs

I started running inside stuff on my D line. Now the only positions with abilities on defense is my line since they weren't helping my DBs at all.

Was actually thinking of doing this. my dbs still drop wide open interceptions with pick artist. I was thinking to put all my AP into the d line

Yea and his man coverage isn't that bad either so i should be fine to match anyway.
