Safety
Disclaimer
1.) I'm not a football guy. I never played, I don't watch it often (Brett Coleman is lit tho), I probably never will. My opinions are probably gonna be a little shit. Because of that if you bitch at me for being stupid in here I'm not going to care.
2.) This isn't actually a new engine, it's just my idea for what I would want.
Safety[/div]
This shit took a lot of writing, I can't really find it in me to really do safeties the justice that they deserve, but I'll tell you that essentially you can essentially take what I said for corner backs and apply the same stuff to safeties EXCEPT don't worry about Man on Man Coverage as much. You're generally going to see the safety act as the last man standing in the backfield just playing a big zone area and swooping to tackle whoever comes away with the ball from the rest of the pack. Really need to focus on getting to the player with the ball and bringing them down as quickly as possible. So Strength, Quickness, Speed, Acceleration, and Tackling. If you can guess where the pass is going if the other team is going deep using Scheme Recognition and Catching you can really become a great defensive weapon to get interceptions or just stop big gains. Beyond that, just apply everything I said to corner backs to safeties, they do a lot of the same stuff just across a larger area and less man on man focused. Here's a link to the corner backs: http://nsfl.jcink.net/index.php?act=ST&f=20&t=18143
Strength - The player's raw strength
Endurance - The player's ability to continue to be effective during long drives
Quickness - The player's ability to change their style of attack quickly
Scheme Recognition - The player's ability to correctly identify they play that the offense is going to run and to decide how to attack the player that will receive the ball off the snap or after the snap
Acceleration - The player's ability to quickly reach their top speed
Speed - The player's top speed
Catching - The player's ability to catch (or deflect) a contested ball
Man on Man Coverage - The player's ability to stick with a player when playing man on man coverage
Zone Coverage - The player's ability to react to an offensive play when playing zone coverage
Tackling - The player's ability to bring a player with the ball down or move a player blocking them out of their way
Technique - The player's footwork and ability to put themselves in the best position to get through or around the opposing blocker, generally their ability to form the correct plan for the start of a play in this context
