I have my lvl 55 FS starting in the Pro's. What is a sufficient amount of STR / TAK? I was thinking 48/48, I know I'll miss some tackles, but my guy is more of a coverage build.

if you only roll with 48/48 you must have Sure Tackler at least. Otherwise 61 is a minimum at the pro level. 68 if you want to see any number of KL PD's. I plan on keeping 48/48 on my similar FS, and just making up the ground with VA's. It's not optimal, but he's pure coverage as well.

LOL @ this guy


Doesn't matter if you're a coverage "guy" or not. You will still be forced to make tackles. The question is, can you make the tackles? With 48/48 in the pros, well thats not gonna cut it. Not even a judgement call

Skeels is right, if you're gonna leave it at 48/48 then u better have some type of help with a VA and your tackling will probably be average at best. Thats great for a coverage guy thought right? LOL

Ha! LOL @ ^^this guy^^

Thanks Packers and Skeels, I am working on getting bot TAK and STR up, I only have TAK @ 48, and STR @ 38 right now. I have been pumping the rest of my attributes first, so now these are what I am focusing on. I was just wonder what the minimum is to be effective.

I would take Tackling to 60 so you can grab DvG . . . I think for a coverage FS 60-68 is a reasonable endgame level for tackling.

Don't "coverage guys" usually get more picks than that?

68+ imo

60 tackling, 48 strength on wrap up is the bare minimum I would think, but you'd have to have dvg.
And I'd take tackling to 68 before I'd take strength to 60.
You can't get away with being a safety and not being able to tackle. It's one of their primary jobs. That's why building a safety has more to it than building a CB. If you want a 'pure coverage' guy you have to make a CB, because safeties don't have 'pure coverage' responsibilities.

Taking both to the 3:1 cap should be enough. Even if he is coverage, David vs Goliath is a good VA to have too.

My FS with 50str 63tack and 15 in DvsG + SA points in wrap up and diving tackles is still missing too many tackles for my liking in the pro's.. Most of them are due to spin though, not sure what you can do to prevent that.

I guess it looks like 61/61 and DVG to make it work then, thanks fellas.
