Need CB Advice Please

[niftyjets]

So I am in the 4th season of my franchise with the Jets and Revis is still my best corner at a 90 overall with confidence boosts 87 without. He still has 88 man coverage and 98 awarness etc but is down to 82 speed. Should I stop playing him? Hes been getting burned a lot lately. I have good young guys behind him so its not a necessity thing just a loyalty thing.

advice??

Maybe you can move him to safety like Charles Woodson in his later days.

I agree.. Move him to safety.. Putting him on tight ends will be effective..

Lol. I feel ya on the loyalty thing. Even though it's just a vid game, I tend to keep players around awhile. That being said, 82 speed obviously is horrible for a CB. And, legit, if u see/feel he's getting beat, it's just time to bench him. I had a slightly diff CB situation. I play with atl and while Trufant is solid in the game, Alford is like a 76 ovr. He's got decent skills, but I noticed he was getting beat often, actually. I was struggling on d overall because of this. I was blaming the game (lol, as I'm sure we all do). 'Stupid madden. Wth, I keep getting beat by that same route.' Etc. anyways, I finally picked up a FA that was better, and it made an instant diff in my d. So, yeah, regardless of attributes, almost, legit, if u see that corner being beat, gotta get him out. Even revise island can go underwater after a few years in the league.

If you run a lot of man defense you can keep Revis as the #1 ''IF'' you keep two safeties deep when doing so.

If you are leaving your DB's on islands, and playing a lot of press you'll need to bench him, or consider FS.

Finally if you run a zone based scheme and play off coverage when in Cov3/4, and obviously your Cov2 variations you can hide his lower speed. Finally in a zone scheme you could just move him to nickel DB as the nickel has essentially no deep responsibility.

Any zone that keeps 5 underneath defenders (2 flat / 3 hook zones) & ''play the sticks''. Manually guard the seams.

I have to agree with this, if Revis keeps getting beat deep it's time to stop selling tickets to the island. Unless you're willing to move him to a #2 where he may be able to take away they're second best threat (unless it's another speedy guy). Safety is an interesting way to keep him on the field since he should still have decent agility and acceleration and play rec which should let him make some plays back there.

Jets had some cool blitzes and schemes that they were able to pull off when Revis was in his prime and shut down half the field, but with him gone you'll have to go back to some more common schemes until another shutdown guy can emerge. Lest you continue to have the deep ball tear you apart.
