Good traits, Good release, should get some initial separation in press man, but otherwise doesn't feel like an 89.

Never said it was a bad/unusable card, just pointing out that the lack of speed would impact the types of plays you can call. Same thing you were saying, but less snarky. I personally don't play H2H and have no idea what that meta is.

Slow enough that he will have trouble pulling. Faster backs will have to wait on him.

I picked wildcard hoping that it's Hester. Otherwise I'll do Peppers for the Bears theme team.

I'm not close to pro level. I struggle a bit because I naturally prefer coverage to pressure and I feel like the coverage you get from guys like Khalil Mack isn't strong enough to justify him doing anything other than rushing, so I don't get versatility with 3-4, just another rusher on the line. This works fine this year because of the rushing/heavy focus but most years it bugs the crap out of me. Most years I just play Nickel most of the time if I'm in a 3-4 playbook.   The other thing that is hurting me right now is the hitstick. In past years I got really good at playing cover 3 zones and learning how the defense works where I get hitsticks as often as not. This year not only is the timing window way smaller, but the player that I'm changing to seems much more likely to be adjacent to the play as opposed to in front of it. I can't trust the quick change player-hitstick immediately move i used to have down. Too often I switch to a guy behind the play that just puts his head down 3 yards away from everything.

When I'm in zone, I like to play the weak side linebacker, especially if there is a RB offset on that side. Most runs are  designed to go to the strong side, the initial read for screen is on you and you just have to follow the blocking and understand if you have contain. I generally don't do much adjusting to cross screens, exotic screens, or screens from RBs that are straight back because my experience is that my team can handle them well enough on their own that it's not a problem when someone runs them regularly.

I bought the $100 bundle and was in this situation. I didn't get any cards over 82 outside of the topper so I suppose this might make it slightly less terrible.

If it creates a situation that discourages newer players from entering/staying with the game, then it's bad for the health of the game regardless of how easy it is to counter once you get better at the game. I'm not saying it needs to be removed, but it seems to be having a negative effect on the health of the lower tiers of the game, the tier where future players are.   Every year has a meta, this year's current meta just seems more oppressive than most.

I got the 89 TO. Might be my luckiest pull all year.
