Gunners

Normally I let the AI set the gunner depth and then I remove DLine and offensive players. This time I set it manually using only DBs and they did horrible. Way too many broken tackles.

So, I'm curious if you guys prefer speed or tackling on your gunners? (Prefer both, obviously)

I have found that you basically need to play fast guys who can tackle (DBs and LBs) at every position on the return team in order to ensure you won't give up any (or many) returns.

If you have guys who are similar, go with the faster one.

This is probably going to mean your starters.

I put the fastest guys on the outside which usually means they get there in time to force a fair catch.

I wish speed wasn't relative to weight so I knew how fast my LBs are in comparison to my DBs without doing research. lol. That'd make this easier.
