Not in a deep zone he won't. and on crossers if you have the right zone and zone drops, the same thing. In man, yeah, he might...but when my entire team was 99 OVR , my WRs did not run right by lesser cards. Same with John Madden when they boosted him to 99 and everyone put him at TE.

Maybe, but if you user it smartly and have the right zone drops.....I dunno, I just think that it's the same with 91-93 speed receivers on corner routes. Deep out zone KO is the only way to stop those....so not sure why a short fast WR would break the game any more than those routes do

I was wreaking havoc with JM at 99. Definitely felt a difference there. But yeah, it's still scheming, not just streaks and tossing it up... though that seems to work against me far more than it should...

I was too, but that's probably because he was a TE running different routes like seam routes, etc, I think. I used him in ways which I knew he would be guarded by a LB or a safety, or where that big body could box someone out....99 speed , 6'4" and 260. It's what makes Jimmy G, Gronk, Muskgrave so OP. Speed and size. It's why I sometimes go 3 TEs and feel I don't lose anything off my passing game.

You right, you right. I guess we'll see how he does on the field. Hopefully not too often though... not looking forward to playing against Reek + crosser/corner cheese.

The good thing about corners and Reek is his height, you know? I think taller receivers are more successful on those routes that get close to the sidelines and have to go over top of the DB....I like cards like Mack Hollins and Cris Carter for those routes (and Gronk or Jimmy G in the right formation)!!!
