I've come to a point right now in my build with Sober Chillin and I could go many directions... Just looking for a little support and maybe some thoughts/knowledge that I haven't thought about yet. One of my biggest concerns is that I haven't put any points into my special abilities outside of super vision circa season 5 or so. Outside of that, I have a few ideas on hand. If it matters, I'm a tweener right now and play both SS/FS equally on my team. Next season, however, I'm looking to stay full time at one of the two.

1). Get agility/vision to 4:1 cap
2). Slow cap to 2:1 tackling and strength
3). Bring confidence/catching closer to ~40
4). Work on jumping

At this moment I'm slow capping strength/tackling but would it make sense to put some time into jump/catch? I feel like using skill points for that wouldn't be that effective.

If it matters, I'll be reaching level 48 later today and I'll have 7 points at my disposal, 22 at the beginning of next season.

Thanks guys!

Speed is only 92 w/ all equip on it? I'd get that to 68 first. (assuming you don't have it at 68 already) Then Agility to 68.

IMO the best SA for any member of the secondary is change direction. I doubt getting vision to 68 would increase much in your play. 7 Super Vision and 61 Vision is about what I got on my FS and he has never had any troubles reading plays. He actually reads them very well. He does have 15% to vision from the Zone Specialist though. Closing speed is a fantastic SA too. I'd train jumping up over 40 at least too.

Wouldn't bother with catching since these days 99% of interceptions are coming off of deflections. QB pass qualities are just ridiculously high otherwise. I'd definitely train confidence/stamina.

Kind of shocked your guy only had 4 PD's in the regular season.

I was strongly considering working on closing speed, maybe bumping it up to 4. Also, I'm 14/15 in quick as of now and with 200 VXP I will be done asap, and I was probably going to work on Zone Specialist next. Good to know that about catching, I might occasionally slow cap it to get it up a tad.

I feel like my player has been incredibly ineffective this season, although he's only had 1 missed tackle all season while playing ~48 plays per game at SS/FS. No turnovers hurts a little, but I think a part of that was due to the constant changing of positions. It's a little frustrating only because I don't exactly have a poor build by any means. Anything I can do to get my player back into the swing of things and become more of a 'difference maker' would be excellent.

Thanks for the comments
