OK, I'm looking for some advice on what I should do wih my last 7 VA points, I've already pumped 15 in Power Tackler, I have 7 left and I have two things in mind, I keep bouncing back and forth between the two so I'd like to see what others think.

First a bit about my build - the primary focus is Speed and Vision. Originally was a pure Hard Hitter build so those attributes and SAs are also high (Tackling is soft capped, strength is at 44, 4-3-2-2-2 in Hard Hitter tree) At the start of last season I shifted gears, redid all my equipment and changed him to a Speed/Vision build, so Speed and Vision are both in the high 70s. Now the 2 options I'm pondering:

1) Jackhammer, obviously a great skill for any safety. The issue is that my strength is only 44. I'm going to boost at the very start of next season though so I could easily pump 6 points into Strength to meet the 50 requirement and put my last 7 VPs into Jackhammer.

2) Football Genius - Vision is key to my build and this would add 5 points, or the equivalent of 15 SPs, to my Vision and that bonus will only grow in the future as I continue to increase his Vision. This will allow me to stick to my original plan for my points from boosting which is to max out Super Vision which is currently at 7.

So what is better?

+6 Strength (50), +21% chance to knock ball loose
+5 Vision (79), +1(5 Base, 6 w/ CE) Change Direction, +3(9 Base, 10 w/ CE) Super Vision

Jackhammer is a really nice ability though. I'd personally go with that since getting a forced fumble in a big game is a huge game changer. I'm in favor of allowing some of these VAs to work on rerolls more than just adding to skill points

I'm pretty sure you are misunderstanding Jackhammer. from what i surmise it is a bonus to "breaking up" a pass by levelling the receiver with a big hit - thus resulting in an incompletion, not a FFUM. but either way it is still a very interesting skill

You are correct. I was thinking of the heavy hitter one or whatever it's called. Still, as a saftey i'd say about 70% of my tackles are hitting the receiver within a second of him catching the ball. Could really help me. I'd take a look at your player's tackles and see where most of his tackles come from.
