I am trying to keep the thread in the irght direction. No offense taken. Except to the Tebow thing.............

The biggest reason I go this way is that I will not play with the big schools as it is more fun IMO to build a program (they rarely come there anyway). Here is what I do. QB: all about THA and SPEED.....I wont get a good O-line so he needs to be able to run for his life AND throw on the run - with poor accuracy it is INT's all over the place HB: I prefer the short thick guys who have high trucking....they need it. Plus, I have more fun knocking guys over than using the over exaggerated jukes. TE: The biggest guy I can find (so far...6-7/276....3* who went to Madden). I have no interest in the 6'1"/210 TE. WR: Height, Height, Height..... -------------------------------------------------------- DEFENSE: My motto here is that "fast, strong, big guys" are not worth recruiting if they have crappy AWR, M&ZCOV, BSHD, and can't tackle. DB: I will not recruit any DB if he is not already in the "B"'s for Man coverage. A fast guy with a C- ability to cover guys man for man only helps you catch up after you have been toasted. Look @ the 5* guys, some of them simply cannot cover - they balance out in other areas. LB: All about awareness, tackling, and ability to get off a block. Again, speed is not as important if the guy knows what is going on from the snap of the ball. A FAST guy who runs into the blocker quicker (than a slower guy GETS AROUND (or off) the blocker) is worthless to me. I really dont like the helpless feeling of watching my guys be flat out stupid when a play develops while I wrestle with the blocker. My best LB was a guy who was 5'10"/240....3* guy who was an All-American after his sophomore year and ended up being the top LB in Madden. DE: Pass rush ability, block shed, speed, & awr. If the guy is a monster/manchild, that is a plus. DT: Not too much thought....the other one's take quite a while. This is all about just being a HOG.

I like a lot of these. I can see your defense being monsters

I would say speed and pursuit. With those you should be good against the run and it seems you already have the right coverage for your corners.

Offense Speed first and foremost for skill positions. Str and Awareness for the Linemen.

Defense pure awareness and tackle.
