CB1 starts shifting more and more inside letting the WR get outside. The closest explanation I got for this was a QB looking off the CB. Could someone confirm or explain this?

Would upping vision help negate some of this?

if your a corner from now on just keep putting all your points in speed, vision and agility til they are all at about 50... then start going to the special abilities, there should be one that should help you from getting fooled by a pump fake.

Wow.. Your CB is a Level 21 - playing against a Level 15 - and still got handled.

I don't think I would have posted that up for everyone to see

In his defense, about 50% of GLB's CBs are doing worse this season than they have ever done in their careers due to the changes.

That's funny that you say that, because people are saying the same thing about WRs - that they are supposedly worse.

Seems kind of impossible, for both CBs and WRs to both be worse than last season.

Word of advice: Just because your CB isn't getting INTs and PDs, it doesn't mean he's playing worse. You know its possible, that they are covering their man so well, that the QB isn't even throwing them the ball - which is basically what people are saying about their WRs - that they are being covered TOO well.

And after looking at your CB, that seems to be the case. But honestly, it doesn't seem like your CB had too good of a season last year, either. He had over 80 tackles with only 3 INTs and 18 PDs. Either he was really great in run support (doubtful), or he gave up a ton of completed passes, while not knocking too many down, nor picking many off.


Besides, if someone's CB is actually worse - they did it to themselves. Its not that difficult to build a shutdown corner, regardless if it shows in in the box score or not.

I agree 100%, I actually get pissed whe my CB has more then 2 tackles a game. This shows me he is giving us catches to the WR.

I judge my CB's by if they gave up big plays. Like it's 3rd and 10 and they give up a pass for like 15 yards. That's what I look for. A CB can't stop every 5 yard pass
