I have a 40/40 Legends TT and I haven’t had much time to play lately. Now that we have CB Megatron and SS Ted Hendricks there are so many great choices at Safety & SubLb. I play Zone 99% of the time with a lot of Cover 2 and Cover 4.
Who has been playing the best for you guys?
I run Megatron and Lynch at safety with Taylor and Atwater in the box. You can throw Hendricks in that group with them, but his abilities don’t fit my scheme at all so I don’t use him.
Ted is good if you don’t play man and it seems you really don’t as you said so you could user him or let him play coverage on his own. Atwater is really good as well. Probably the best FS even without a theme team, and this one I can speak from experience-John Lynch is a goon. And of course Calvin is absolutely broken😂
in no order
atwater, kam, Ted, lynch, st21
FS - Taylor
SS - Lynch
SubLB - Kam, Ted, Atwater (in that order)

Thanks man, how has Megatron been playing for you?

Yeah I don’t really play man at all. I have been using Lynch and he’s been pretty good for me too! Does Ted move better than his SS card last year? He was kinda clunky for a user.

Yeah I guess I already know the top guys I was really looking more for feedback on where everybody is using them and who is playing the best for everyone. I don’t think my post was as clear about that as I thought.
From what I've seen, Atwater and Hendricks are great for SubLB. Not too many run actual safeties though when it comes to the FS and SS spot. Normally it's NTL, Deion, Rod Woodson, etc...at those positions.

That sounds like a Man Blitz scheme to me with the CB’s at FS and SS.
I like Lynch at sub LB but to me he is interchangeable with Kam, but I have Kam deep. Atwater is the better coverage FS so Sean Taylor goes to sublb2. Im leaving Calvin at CB1 with NTL at CB2. Might try Hendricks once we see prices crash on Christmas. He looks like an amazing user but I like to change my user by formation, so no way he is playing man defense. We have a lot of time left in ZC so I still think we see a SS Simmons.

I like how this setup sounds, mine isn’t too different currently I just haven’t had much time to play yet. I am also expecting a SS Simmons. Who are you using as your Slot CB?

I sold off Rod Woodson to buy back later. So I have Deion there now because he is free. It kind of has been working out because he has the speed for man blitzes but with all the slot WRs running corner routes he has been able to hang with them. He has gotten dusted a couple times in the run game but that was to be expected. If I end up with Hendricks or Simmons at Sublb. I'm going to try Sean T back at FS and Atwater at slot cb. I have the purple strat card that boost man and zone so everyone hits the 90 man threshold. Of course we might also get a new lock down CB in the next two parts or in that player present.

I tried Deion in the slot today and was surprised by how good he plays there. Got a sack/fumble on a slot Cb blitz that sealed the game in H2H for me. Was thinking about doing the same when I get Ted Hendricks. I will have too many safeties but they are all good so one of them is going to have to move to CB.
