Bro Carmichael and peppers are flat out goons!!!!
Better than Calvin's CB card? I play mostly zone and mix in man coverage is he clunky and get burned on quick routes?

Wouldn’t Hendricks be better as a user / sublb than in the back ?
All depends on how you run your D. Hendricks is not agile. Very slow and clunky when trying to change direction. Also lacks man coverage. I would utilize Hendricks to cover the AGG catches on deep and corner routes. (Blue and purple zones)
I would then run zone d make Peppers man up the TE or slot WR.
Opponent reads first read at TE looks like man and creates a lot of confusion. Considering most players look at last play used.
Yeah Carmichael is amazing. Haven’t pulled the trigger on Peppers yet but got Hendricks back there, gonna get Peppers today probably
Both seem great. I’m definitely buying that Carmichael for 400k as a cheap rental.
This game has turned defense into the land of giants... Carmichael, Peppers Megatron, Hendricks, Parham
These players excel in zone defenses. Peppers is the only one that’s decent in man coverage. Carmichael is a hit or miss in man. Both great in deep zones.
Guys like Hendricks excel in deep blues and purple zones. Not good at yellow and flats.
All great players at the end of the day. They all have strengths and weaknesses though.
To quote Donnell Rawlings from Chappelles show during the presidential skit-
“Yay-yayee”!
I cant remember a cb this season that got burned more than Carmichel in the 5-6 Champions gamea ive used him

I’ve seen the before mentioned cbs get beat on tight end corners and they still dumb out on deep crossing flood concepts. Granted those are a few of the tougher routes/combos to beat but there were players better than that before the before mentioned cbs came out. Also
They’re not the cbs I’m using or playing schemes but my squads partner.
Have them on the same side and it's nothing but ints. Can't wait for the gts!!!!
