2.) I can essentially take away 1/2 the field as the FS, especially if they have good speed like an Ed Reed or a Michael Huff.. It's also easier for me to stuff the run as a FS.. I'm normally able to come through unblocked and blow the play up in the backfield.. Especially if it's a toss/pitch or a stretch play.. Those don't usually go anywhere against me..

I do find that I'm more prone to give up the big play though.. I find myself looking in the backfield and getting caught on play-action alot.. I'm also pretty vulnerable to crossing routes and streaks when they're run on the same side.. It's hard to cover the middle and the deep ball at the same time.. All in all, it works pretty well though..
^ This sums me up perfectly. The only difference is i use the SS as well.

Re: What Position Do You Control on Defense

I play with whoever the worst player on the defense is (except for corners, I will NOT play as a corner...when I play as a CB, 74 yard TD passes happen) because I figure the other, better players will do their job, while I will make the worst player better. (Ideally)

I prefer FS though. I like playing the middle of the field.

Re: What Position Do You Control on Defense

The consensus for sim games has always been to never control the d-line. I like to play FS or SS, sometimes LB depending on the play and opponent.

D-Line. If I play coverage, I usually just bungle it up. I'd rather try to place the LB and secondary in a position to succeed.

Re: What Position Do You Control on Defense

Im always a player trying to sack the qb

so

DE/OLB the most

but I'll switch and take control of the MLBs and Safeties to blitz too....

the only position I don't play with is the CB

Re: What Position Do You Control on Defense

Everything but cb, it all depends on my opponents play style.

Re: What Position Do You Control on Defense

Defensive End or Tackle because I like playing the run and rushing the quarterback and I'm not skilled enough to play corner or safety.
