I'm willing to hear opinions. I have 15 in zone specialist, 10 jackhammer, 10 ballhawk, and 10 in sure tackler.

Work one of those to 15 or start working on Clutch or Long Reach or maybe something else.

not enough strength for jackhammer...

I forced about 2 a game all last season forced a ton in preseason, and i have a few this reg season already (from viewing replays, i haven't had many opportunities where i tackle a WR right after a catch as everyone has been throwing to the other side) so i'd say it's working just fine. I really can't imagine the % of tackles on WRs after catches being knocked loose being that much higher. It would make sense to think that but results have said otherwise (at least different than popular opinion).

Since the 10 in jackhammer has been working really well last season and still doing fine this year, i was more wondering about taking one of the 3 VAs at 10 up more or working on Clutch, Long Reach or something else

How much is 'enough' ?

Anything above 50, otherwise you can't use it. Considering I got on average of 1-4 a game last season with only 10 in jackhammer, 52 in str and on wrap up tackle, i'm guessing having more strength helps but is not a requirement. Still average 1-2 a game this season (although is rarely thrown at in games 2-4 since those teams ran a lot of hb screens)

i'd also get STR up to 50 to use jackhammer.
if you don't wanna go that route and you play run support then "sure tackler" imho.
i'd rank "clutch" > "3rd down stopper" and regard "long reach" as being better for CBs and not FSs, but maybe that's just me.


ps. on the next VA-reset: get rid of "football genius"

because in my opinion it's not a top3-option for a FS.
i moved my equipment around and couldn't tell, if my FS (http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=67282) had +6 in vision or -6. granted, his vision is still pretty high.

just my two cents.

No, you weren't really suppose to respond. It's one of those retardical questions or something.
