I'm gonna play %100 zone with my new team next year and the only zone coverage SA I can choose is "Eye on the Prize" and all that does is give my guy + in INT. While Man Coverage has "Chase Down" (+ to conditioning, cov tech and speed) and "On an Island" (+ to cov tech and deflect).

Cov tech and deflect are alot more important than INT, IMHO.

It kinda looks like deflect is a pre-req for a solid INT build too.

that said, you can take 3rd down stopper, which is excellent.

frankly, I wouldn't take eyes on the prize. Only works on underneath zones, and your going to use 2-4 guys in shell zones regularly. You'd be better of with first step (sitting still in a zone and reacting to throws would get big use from first step). If you golded first step and 3rd down stopper, that leaves you with a silver like closing speed or shed block, or monster hit.

while there aren't specific zone SAs like you want, there are still a few good options.

Don't forget Third Down Stopper, which IMO is one of the best skills to take as a DB.

You are making my point. It isn't fair that Man Coverage gets the better SAs and it isn't even close. Of course I will take First Step and Third Down Stopper because I don't have a choice. Man and Zone should both have an SA with + INT, Cov Tech and deflection. Or at least, give a + cov tech to zone.

Good but with changes like this an Sa respec would be in order.

Well it is a "beta" version. Change is inevitable.

Given that its a suggestion thread I'd rather see "Center Fielder" is the way to help make zone vs. man more equal, this would have the same effect as "Eyes on the Prize" but have it work for someone assigned to a zone between the center hashes. Most of the INT's I see are on underthrows.... heaving it way too far off and over should, in practicality, make the interception easier if your in the vicinity since no WR is there to make it challenging on you.
