What is a good height for a CB?

would you guys say 6'0 or higher or 6'1 or higher, cause im just realizing that this height thing is very effective, im seeing the light now, at first i was just all about speed and acceleration only.

6'2 is just awesome... When I use bengals, ill put taylor mays in as cb vs someone who is just facethrowin me. And in redzone ill put the other tall safety at other cb an snatch fades. Mays at 6'3 and sands at 6'4 haha

6'0 is good having a taller cb makes it easier. Other then revis, I dont like cbs under 6'0

so mega what your saying is, there is a huge difference between 5'11 and 6'0? i mean does that one difference make that much of a difference?

Not that much difference between 5'11 and 6'0... If your 5'11 dude is your best corner by rating, he should be #1. But if you had 2 cbs with equal/similar ratings but one was taller, I'd take the taller one.

yeah mega pretty much summed it up, 6'0 or taller is def what you want, 6'1, 6'2 or taller guys are just gonna get more from there animations also, nothing like playing with a 5'9 or 5'10 corner and getting the animation for swat, or a pick and have a tall wr just catch it over them like they weren't there

I'll play a 6'2'' 84 spd corner over a 5'11'' 90 speed. Height is far too important in a game dominated by streaks/lobs.

what if the corner was like 6'2 81 speed, overall 61 with like 71 zone and 53 man, would you guys still play that guy as your starting corner? for example tommie campbell rom tennessee, tall and fast but no good covering.

Tommie Campbell HAS to start for you...

he'd see my field 10/10 times..

if you feel that uncomfortable with him on the field, put em at safety and user with him..

Tron, i been using the bengals lately as well. That team is pretty nasty. I have thought about putting mays at CB also. But i just put him at SS. I usually have Jennings and Ghee as my CB. I may have to try that.


But yeah guys, having height is a huge upgrade for sure. Especially when you go up against the bigger WR like Calvin Johnson. I played a guy who was the Lions and i had my cowboys. I put T. Williams at #1 CB. He was like 6'2 or 6'3 and had speed to run with Calvin. He basically deflected all the deep balls.

what if those tall CBs awr is below 70%?

Don't worry about it, Mili.

A tall corner doesn't need a ton of awareness to run in a straight line down the sideline against a fly pattern.

i understand that but what about on those quick slants, curls and PA's Zan?

If your using a fs to roam then you can help protect your slow corner vs the slants. Curls.... It doesnt matter, cause you can pretty much throw curls against anyone in man cov. Having purples or yellows underneath makes it a lil bit harder against those curls/slants.

Just wanted to add another thing on this topic... Just played a guy who had the eagles. I again used my cowboys with T. Williams at #1 CB.. Hes 6'2 or 6'3 and speed is 96 or something like that. Had him against DeSean Jackson who is lighting quick.. Ran a Cover 3.. Guy threw it Jackson and Williams was a step ahead of Jackson and jackson didnt stand a chance on the jump ball. Easy INT.. Of course a guy 5'10 vs. 6'2.. But like another member pointed out. That speed and size helps on those deep throws..
