So I'm just wondering if the community considers the +15 to Sprinting/Quickness/Vert worthwhile.I don't think it's worth it for a deflection LB. It fires too seldomly for it to be worth more than 3DS or other LB SA's, even with a healthy investment in zone I don't see it fire more than once a game, and even then there are still games where it doesn't fire at all.
I built this LB to test it out.
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/122840This season has been the first that he's actually been playing almost all of his plays in zone coverage, and I've done my best to actually watch almost all of his games, I only really have seen it fire in about 7 games so far. Which is pretty poor considering he has the SA golded with 75 zone awareness. I've come close to thinking the SA is worthless, even if you are specced for interceptions, with the right playcalls it just fires so seldom... the only thing that stops me from thinking that is how powerful the SA is when it fires. It's responsible for 2 of his 4 interceptions this season so far.
