If you arent in the 40s in tackling, you will be missing tackles in the Canada leagues. All SS's should have tackling to soft caps(in my opinion). The SS's job is to be the last line of defense, they need to make the tackle.

The problem is that SSs are also recommended to have Speed, Agility and Vision soft capped, plus healthy totals in Stamina, Confidence, Jumping and Strength. You get to the stage where you just don't have enough points.

Hey who you guys suggest getting tackling to the soft cap? I am thinking I am going to work on strength next (getting to 25)

25 is too low..Well in my league anyway...My SS has 55 tackling and 44 Str and he missed 11 tackles the season...and he is set on wrap-up

I meant that I would get it to 25 and then put points into it. Its a waste to put points in anything lower than 25

I have tackling of 28 and I only missed 5 tackles all this season. I don't think it needs to be soft capped.

playing safety you dont want to miss any tackles so mid 30s is necessary

I missed a few tackles this season, but since I got it to 40 I only missed 2 because I tried playing on POWER tackling. Will never do that again

just want to point out that's a scary number for a safety

Really? Looking at the other starting SSs in the good teams in my league, it seems to be about average or maybe even better. None of them were in the open field, they were all against RBs when there were other players around to make the tackle.

good point, i forgot about that

i got tackling to the soft cap for my SS about halfway through the season and didn't miss a tackle after that. so yes i recommend it.

and that's rough to hear, szarek. you must have a lot of power backs in your league? who knows lol

I missed a tackle today at 40.97 tackling so I will probably get tackling to the soft cap. Basically I will get tackling to 48 (7 points) get stamina to 30 (5 points) and then work on getting Vision to 60 (Should take me a level or two)

In the mean time, I will train STR and jumping to 25.
