First up I love it I have been debating starting Owusu-Ansah myself. I didnt because of his awarness. Ball never catches interceptions; how is this working?

Also how do you Sensabaugh to olb Im a newbie but did not see him as an option please share.

Whats up Vortex, well i put Owusu Ansah at SS just so i have speed. I dont like Ball at Safety at all. He is pretty slow. Sensabaugh at OLB is pretty effective because he helps in case opponents try to do toss/ sweeps hes able to do pretty well.

To put Sensabaugh at OLB just sub a player at SS where Sensabaugh would be, then just put him at OLB.

No problem bro.. lemme know how you like that. Also Sgibs, mentioned having McCann at CB over jenkins. So i might have to look into that as well. I like McCann as the 3rd CB cuz his speed is like 96/97 and like to use him for blitzes when im in the nickel. Also austin speed is like a 96/97 as well i think, and i like to use him as the slot defender in the dime when i blitz also. Very quick.

Yeah.. I usually only put miles austin as the slot CB like in a dime formation. Especially when you play those guys that love to scramble one way all game and wait for the WR to be open in the middle. He definitely is great at that spot.

I dont recommend playing Austin on defense at all. He's one of your best WRs and him being on both sides of the field increases his chance at getting injured. Another thing about 3-4 is that you dont have to worry about your 3rd & 4th CBs unless you audible down from dime or something.

Also, Jason Williams isn't with the Cowboys anymore. Actually I would leave the roster as is and maybe throw in Lee at MLB2. 3-4 is all about having a strong DLine with fast OLBs to set the edge

Good point UserPick!! I could throw in ogletree. That guy is the fastest out of all the WR on the Cowboys depth chart. I tried to have a lineup that is very quick. Spencer i think was 90 rating at DE rather than at LOLB. I like D. Ware up the middle because i like to blitz up the A gap. Yeah jason williams isnt on the team anymore. There is a brandon williams i believe.

for the secondary, i recommend CB:Newman/Jenkins or Newman/McCann FS: AOA SS: Scandrick

if you're runnin' 3-4 then you dont have to worry about 3-4 CBs

FYI: T.Williams speed>Ogletree speed..97v96

I may have to look into McCann at #2 CB. Actually i asked Sgibs his opinion on my setup and he had exactly what you had with McCann at #2. But should i take into account his OVR rating? I think hes somewhere in the 70's i wanna say? Thanks for the advice bro!! Very Happy

He's a solid Madden CB. His man coverage ratings aren't that great but his speed kinda makes up for that. I see that you like utilizing all of your speed weapons so in your case I would start McCann
