Good card. But I'll stick with Jamal Adams

Reed>Adams

GuckFoodell

Better tackling, higher hit power, better man coverage. He’s the better choice

Maddox438

Exactly. I don't know where the argument is? A slight boost in speed, acceleration and zone with better catching abilities. But Adam's is legit better at everything else and due to Reeds inability to receive enforcer or secure tackler he is a much worst option as a user as well. If you run a lot of zone and never user your SS than Reed is better but that's the only reason at all he would be.

lekwid1986

Also better juke spin more pick 6’s, and reeds tackle and hit power is respectable for what is. End game reed will shit on any Adams card.

Maddox438

Good point for the juke and spin. But you're naive to think any end game reed will shit on an end game Adam's. It's all about scheme. If you want to focus more on stopping the run Adam's will ALWAYS be the better option. If you're more focused on protecting from the pass than Reed is the better option.

lekwid1986

They had to gimp reed in one way. Did you even watch him play? He was a good all around do it safety, coverage nothing needs to be said, was a hard hitter and good inside or out the box. Current hit power 87 so will be over 90 when it’s said and done. Reed isn’t bad at stopping the run and much better in coverage. Comparing their mut 19 ultimate cards reed shits on Adams lol so what Adams has a little more tackle and hit power, the rest reed. Reed can play in any scheme fyi

GuckFoodell

Sub LB. Adams is a better sub lb than Reed

Maddox438

Agreed. Adam's is like a 93 or 94 at sub LB, even my Deion Jones and Shaz are only 91s in the position.

GuckFoodell

Not just that, he’s gonna be in a more favorable match up, typically against a slower TE with low/mid 80’s route running or a hb with even lower route running

Maddox438

Also just checked, Adam's is 15 lbs heavier although that isn't much, in a game where your ability to tackle is reinforced based on size and weight comparisons as well as factoring tackle and break tackle into play ed reed will have a hell of a rough time trying to bring down saquon, chubb, fournette, Bo pretty much all of the commonly used backs in the game right now.

Two different styles of players... I have 96 Tillman and 92 Adams, both of them will be in the box and GOAT Reed deep

Maddox438

Agreed. I just like having Jamal as my sub LB and leave Tillman deep. But last year I did an all legends squad, so this year I'm doing current players with he exceptions of Tillman and Holt because, well... free.

usmckimball

Yep same here

People r sleeping on gauntlet Derwin I have him and Adams and he is pretty much just as good

Maddox438

I like Derwin a lot. However, Adam's is a better choice for now, and with a free 95 Tillman I have no reason to keep two SS unless I play one out of position or In the box as my sub LB
