3 unstoppable forces between Sapp, Karlaftis and Madabuike. Then Aaron Donald (training option) with relentless and DON. This combo with a variety of Zone KO’s is a lot of fun.

I have isaiah simmons, tariq woolen, and sauce gardner for x factors. I use 2 universal coverages on my corners, then combine avalanche.

I think 3 D-Line unstoppable force/ colosus is pretty good but I have woolen and universal coverage seems good too what’s working for you guys?? Setup? george and sapp for me always the third i switch between secondary and D-line

Three D-line X-factors felt liek overkill. I ran Sapp (UF) & George (Colossus) for quite a while, nearly two months, then used my third on a Safety.

These days with all the Secure Protectors we're facing, I decided to change up my defensive philosophy, trying all three on DBs, two Universal Coverage (Nnamdi & Tariq on the outside), plus Kam with LIU Dual Threat.

A case could certainly be made for either approach, but I'm not convinced three D-line helps more than two. YMMV.

I go two Colossus and one Universal Coverage. My other DE in dollar is Baremore who gets 0 ap inside stuff and 0 ap no outsiders so hes perfect without an x factor. Using UC and being able to take zone knockouts off a player opens up a good amount of ap

Damn lol I have the same setup! But thinkhint about using avalanche instead of universal coverage

Not true D line x factors are just nice to have especially more then one on each edge because they can sometimes wreck double teams when people roll out heavy which is meta.

Nah man. I have 5 secure pros and get sacked maybe once every five games and I don’t double team. Sure if a casual holds the ball too long it’s a problem but for the most part anyone that can make somewhat quick reads will have no issue against dline X factors

So as we’re in endgame I took a step back and realized that 3 X Factors on your D line don’t effect the game as much as 3 X factors in pass coverage would. Essentially you give yourself 3 guys with knockouts all over the field. Depending on your scheme and where you position them, it could be very useful to have.

Tariq Woolen Reinforcement

Bo Jackson CB Reinforcement

Bo Jackson ROLB Dual threat
