A lot of people overlook that inside and outside makes OSA.

With Patrick being released, we now have 4 OSA players 6'1 or taller.

Appreciate all the info boys. Definitely gonna try out some these.

This is for anyone who primarily runs man.  What players are you using and what abilities are you stacking? I’ve been running different types of zone all year and have my abilities based on that, but game is starting to get a little stale for me. Wanna switch it up and try something new. Lmk what you guys are using. Any info is appreciated.

I run all PA and inside shade or outside shade on all of my DBs

I say acrobat and one step ahead

Mostly running Cover 2, from either Nickel or Dollar packages, although i continue to tinker a bit.  Here's what i've landed on as of this week.  After a ~month of using almost exclusively Zone, Tariq Woolen has finally been replaced by Pat Pete and i've converted back to Man.  Adjustments to your defensive schemes in Man are absolutely essential... that's been the key to making this work.  Whatever your opponent is doing, adjust accordingly.  If it's trips/trey/trio typically i'd want to Shade Inside.  If you ultimately press, be careful, but also Shade Overtop.  I regularly "guess Pass" (R1 / RB) and hope for the best, but this will get you lit up in the run game.  NTL and Cromartie are my Slot corners, Deion and Pat Pete on the outside edges, with hopefully lock-down ability stack.  D-line is Maniac & George for Unstoppable Force X-factor, with Reggie White (DT) using 1AP per.  Reggie gets 3 Abilities for a mere 1AP, difficult to beat.  45/50 49ers TT:

1. CB Deion: (2AP) Pick Artist, Short Route KO, Mid Route KO, Deep Route KO
2. CB NTL: (1AP) Pick Artist, Mid or Deep Route KO (depending upon what i'm doing/playing, mostly Deep)
3. CB Patrick Peterson: (3AP) Shutdown X-factor, OSA, Pick Artist, Deep Route KO
4. CB Cromartie: (1AP) Inside Shade, Pick Artist
5. FS: Byard (1AP) Pick Artist, Acrobat, Deep Zone KO
6. SS: Palo-Mao (1AP) Pick Artist, Deep Zone KO
7. SUBLB: Chinn (0AP) Pick Artist
8. SUBLB: Justin Simmons (0AP) Pick Artist

This thread helped me a ton with adjustments.

I run a 3-4 Odd Pinch Buck 0 Man Scheme. Blitz gets in like crazy. But for the 2 corners on the field I have Patrick Surtain II (TOTY) with MRKO, DRKO, and PA. On the flip side, I have 98 WW LTD A.J. Terrell with SRKO, MRKO, DRKO, and PA. For safeties I have Leon Sandcastle with DRKO and PA, and then Pola-Mao with DRKO, MRKO, and PA.

Thats 10 AP by itself?!

1-2 ap inside shade on 2 cbs and and put them at ss and fs. Cromartie and Horn for me.

1-2ap osa on outside cbs. Peterson and Night Train for me. PA and Acro with remaining ap, i also have maniac and groot xfactor. And the  some 0ap secure tacklers on the line for runs.

CB 1: Deion Sanders 1 AP for acro PA and deep route KO

CB 2: Tre White 2 AP for PA acro and deep route KO

CB 3: Jaycee Horn 2 AP for PA acro and deep route

SS that plays up top: Jalen Pitre 1 AP for PA and deep route

FS: Eric Berry 1 AP for PA and deep route

might replace Jaycee with night train and Pitre with Jeremy Chinn

I don’t run man but OSA on Pat Pete came to mind for me

I did what big meow is doing and I will sub in corners to safety when my safeties are in man coverage. I put Pat pete at FS with OSA and Cro at SS with inside shade.

Deion outside with PA, tip drill, and deep and mid knock out.

Woodson opposite with deep and mid knock out and PA

NTL in the slot, deep and mid knockout, PA, inside shade.

Debo as sun LB with inside shade.

People use to abuse my safeties or sub linebackers in coverage as they didn’t have any abilities, it’s a bit tougher for them now.

so far so good, made a Super Bowl
