I’m trying to decide what to do with my DBs, anybody want to help? I have: CB Parham, Carmichael, Deion. FS Berry, SS Pola-Mao, Sub LB GT Hendricks and GT Peppers

Pretty cheesy players for the most part, I know lol 

i have 50+/50 chiefs TT and two remix boosters at 3/3, so my guys are all loaded up - which is why I still have berry and Pola-Mao

im using 1 AP each on furious George and maniac, but I guess I COULD switch to two 0 AP rushers and lose the x-factors instead, to save the AP 

rn I have Parham CB 1, Carmichael CB2, ROH Deion CB3/slot

i get burnt more than I would think I would with that lineup, so I’m trying to re-do my AP, and would love some help.  

should I focus on man abilities, zone abilities, or a combo of both?

I also have 6 mil, so I COULD buy some new guys if I needed, but the value I have on my safeties makes me pretty happy with them - but idk.   

any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

With your current players I think a zone or possibly hybrid scheme would be the best.

In my opinion, a good man scheme wants at least a couple players with inside shade/ one step ahead discounts and none of your players have access to good discounts for those abilities.

I've noticed enough of a difference between running unstoppable force and not running it that I think it's still good especially if you don't blitz often.

What's your current ap setup?

Me personally I dont like super tall players like peppers and Harold they seem very clunky personally I like players who are 6’1 to 6’4 i really like moss GT Isaiah Simmons was hit or miss I love jayron Kearse up top but even more in the box I also like mukuamu up top and this might be weird but I think the best FS is Chad Johnson just because he has universal coverage on all game

cover 2 or cover 3 cloud, focus on zone KOs then PA, Deion is probably the best acrobat in the game so i think he is the best flat corner you can have. I like PA+Acro on whoever my users are so I have GTs at those spots. I'd sell parham and get Byron Jones or you can get a rookie premier corner and use the token to still put chiefs chem on him. I like to run cover 2 with Acro+PA+FZKO on corners, PA+Acro on the users, and DZKO on both safeties and sometimes the slot corner or one of the middle users to put them in a deep middle third when needed. I would stay away from hybrid schemes, I think they are terrible

Thank you guys for all the help!

im gonna sit down tomorrow and rest all your guys suggestions!

I’ve played around with it a little but rn I have:

0AP:

LE Tuipuloto - no outsiders and tackle aupreme

GT (sub LB) peppers - acro and pa

DT Madden - inside stuff

GT Parham - pa and deep route ko

DT Cox - tackle supreme and inside stuff

1AP:

SS Pola-Mao - pa and deep out zone ko

GT Hendricks (sub LB) - acro, pa, mid zone ko

GT Carmichael - deep route ko, pa

ROH Deion (in slot) - acro, pa, medium route ko

season 5 chase young - tackle supreme, no outsiders, edge threat elite 

FS Berry - pa and deep out zone ko

then I have pa on my CB 4 and 5 (Marcus peters and Isiah Rodgers) and lurker on my LBs who rarely see the field - Gay, Derrick Johnson, singletary, manic - all 0AP

would truly love any advice or input!
