I'm debating between First Step (if it works), Diving Tackle, or Wrap Up Tackle (the latter two for ST coverage).

Any ideas?

I'd say wrap-up

but I doubt if you'll ever use it

No point in using a bonus SA. Just pick whatever and forget about it.

Sounds like something that should be changed in my opinion.

If I were going to pick one, I would go with Closing Speed, tbh. Altho it is unlikely to make a difference, in 99.9% of ST plays, the Kicker (or punter) are too slow to even make an attempt on a tackle. Thus, Diving Tackler and Wrap Up Tackle are useless. A kicker is running at max speed (which is usually quite slow) pretty much from the moment he kicks, unless he is pancaked, so First Step seems unlikely to activate either. Closing Speed seems like the only SA that *might* have a shot to help (altho it probably won't, which just further supports Romo's reply above).

wrap up/diving tackle for the lower levels when the Kr will run headfirst into the K.

I see a lot of Ks with those 2

I have used first step to help the kicker and punter

It helps with acceleration according to the description and if you mouse over speed and agility for kickers and punters you see that it might help a little
that said, if I do use it, it might only get 1-2 SP in it if I have a little left over at the end

Same thing here.
I generally pick wrap up, but only see tackles when they are young and never put any points in it.

It's been talked about on multiple occasions in the past (regarding kicker/punter SA/VAs) and the reality is that you can only do SO MUCH with those interactions.

I like diving tackle

I always figured that in plays after the snap and before the ball was kicked it was scripted, like hand offs on running plays. There fore 1st Step would be useless.

Super vision or whatever it's called, or tackling. S/A's are a waste on kicker and punters anyway.

bonus SAs*

Their regular tree is uber important.
