Like I said, looking at stats alone is not an accurate way to diagnose a solid CB. Mine jsut had a game with 9 tackles, 6 of which are run support and 1 was a tackle on another players assignment, stats dont tell the whole story no matter how you look at them.
Example:
62 tackles, 6 INTs, 33 PDs....Atleast 60% of my tackles are in run support.
60% tackles on run support? Yikes. That is an abberation and a definite flaw in my proposed formula, for those rare CBs that do most of their tackling in run support. I figured that mostly would happen on teams with lousy run defense, but apparently it is intentional with your very good team (especially since the AI doesn't process outside runs correctly).
Yea im sure there arent tons of CBs with great run support but mine seems to have a knack for it for some odd reason. Its definately something to be careful of when judging a CB, so like I said, unless you watch the film its rela tough to get a good grip on em. 60% might even be a bit low, almost every game I look at ym stats and think I got crushed only to watch film and see most of it is run support. Its tough for CBs for sure the stats are misleading,
