how big of a waste is it.... is there any way to get use out of it?

I doubt it cause you have play in underneath zone. Maybe the SS.

Probably not worth calling random defenses just to get them into underneath zone.

Plus I would go EOTP before ZS if my safety were to play in underneath zone. I'm not that impressed with ZS.

I like having my LB's in robber/lurk roles, and I brought Zone Shark to Gold on one of them in the past. Unfortunately, he'd go multiple seasons without it having the intended effect. It's just really hard for a LB in these zones/roles to get to the WR/TE/whoever in time.

The SA would be far more useful in the deeper zones than it would in under zones. It's just not practical on under zone players.

Not really. Vader lays out TEs and WRs all the time within a second of them catching the ball. The LB just needs to be very quick and agile.

Agree

lol that's what I thought it was before I purchased it on 2 shitty safeties I have.



Now I have 2 good base build safeties with silver zone shark that they will never use

There's also the issue that Zone Shark is bugged. The tooltip says is the ball is knocked loose the entire defense gains X morale and the receiver loses Y morale.

But from watching it, it's clear that only the receiver and the defender who caused the knocked loose receive any morale changes.

Also I don't think it overlaps with Eyes on the Prize. So EOTP + Zone Shark doesn't make as much sense as you'd think.

EOTP fired, checked JSON data, Zone Shark didn't.
