What Position Do You Control on Defense

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, and loved the "excel at taking them outta the play"

that's funny

Usually DE or MLB. I usually play the MLB position if it's a good player like the Panthers, 49ers, etc. If not I play dline.

D-Line all the way...always have. If I take control of a LB/DB, I'll screw up the coverage everytime. I have no stick skills what-so-ever.

I'm left end or whoevers blitzing.

depends on what formation is on the field. If I'm in a 4-3 and it's a passing down then I'm using the DE. If it's a 3-4 and it's a passing down then a OLB. If it's most likely a running play then I'm using a OLB most of the time. If it's a blitz then I'm using the fastest player on the field who is blitzing.

Most of the time im dline, ill be a tackle on running situations and then de on passing and occasianly i will be a saftey but i normally end up messing up the coverage and allowing a big play

yep same here and I usually use the DT or the LE. The only time I control anyone different is if it's a blitzing LB with good block shedding or occasionally I control a MLB in zone coverage over the middle. I feel like I can't keep up with the computer receivers as far as reaction is concerned.

DT. Don't like the camera angle on D, I know it's been like that since the dawn of time but I wish it was behind the player. Never been able to get my angles right with the current camera when playing LB or in the secondary.
