Unsung Combine Players?
Quote from mrbrownsauce >> Yeah Bohanon looked a solid upgrade to my Tourny Kuhn who ive had forever and i like to play with a traditional FB in that slot.
Got him in the exercise exchange and levelled him to 103 and he has some very solid stats.
99 Speed 106 Strength 98 Agility (+4 from Pat Pete) 105 Acc 90 Run Block 82 Pass Block 94 Carry 87 Catch (bit lower than id like but hes been solid so far)
Agree totally on the FB thing here. I also prefer a real FB for the blocking and using them out of the backfield as a receiver on some of the routes. Nice to see one that is easy to get or affordable to buy. This will probably be the only one that actually gets in my lineup.
Depends what position u need in my case I'll go with: Engram, Garrett still deciding if i keep him or sell him and buy TOTY lawrence and Armstead
Quote from justain1 >> Quote from gilbert_sd >> I compared SB Johnson v Combine Johnson...Armstead kills it (even when trained up Johnson) in speed, awareness, acc, etc.
However, without any training, SB Johnson has better numbers for every offensive category except for PBK and IMB, once trained 7 levels to the same, Johnson will have better PBK. Without any training, SB Johnson is already +4 RBK.

Thoughts on the speed/awareness much better for Armstead vs the more specific RBK and PBK numbers for Johnson?

Quote from jz1459 >> Quote from WarpedChewie >> Armstead looks awesome, now can someone tell me how to get him ?
AH is the best way, prices are dropping fast the main way is through the 3 elite trade in for a warrior since he is a warrior
Ah, so no specific set. I thought I was just missing it.
Dropped Duvernay-Tardif for Combine McGovern, his run block is something I can't avoid.

Might try to grab Engram and Poe. I did pull CJ2K in a pack yesterday, so that was nice. Since I may keep him, Poe and Engram would be a nice combo to add to him.
Quote from austincov51 >> I agree that its nice to have a good true fullback for people who like that. I know a lot of people disagree with this but I think Byron Jones isn't too bad.
I agree with you on Byron Jones. Would make a great FS for anyone in need and I wouldn’t be afraid to play him in the nickle or dime.
As far as 99s, if I can swing it, I'm hoping to get Clowney, Pat Pete, and Armstead. I kind of want Engram, but I would rather try to get 3 99s that will help each other out instead of just 1.
John Ross is really good. I know a lot of people have been hating on him but he's been great for me across from Mike Evans.
I just added Armstead on my alt...stats look beastly! Byron Jones also has some appetizing base stats

I'm looking through some of these combine guys and I feel that there are some gems here.
1) Tommy Bohannon - Finally a fast strong blocking FB that can truck. Notable stats: 91 SPD, 97 ACC, 98 STR, 82 RBK, 82 IMB 88 TRU
2) The non-99 O-line guys:
a) Connor McGovern - Possibly the most athletic OG in the game. Notable stats: 88 OVR with 86 SPD, 87 ACC, 90 STR, 84 AGI, 86 RBK, 83 PBK, 86 IMB. Very balanced but weakness is 71 AWR. Still seems like can be a beast when trained.
b) Jason Spriggs - Possibly the most athletic OT in the game. Notable stats: 89 OVR with 85 SPD, 89 ACC, 90 STR, 84 AGI, 86 RBK, 86 PBK, 84 IMB. Very balanced but weakness is 77 AWR. Both these guys would be great coupled with SB QB Foles. They seem like they O-line version of TOTY Aaron Donald.
