GG chargers.

Seemed like all my Sims last night had windy conditions.

GG Claymore. The skilled but slow safeties experiment has made me come to the conclusion speed might still be the only thing that matters for almost every position


I planned for this game a bit, after our first encounter where we didn't show up. It didn't help so much but we got some cards turned over positive. What's speed got to do with it ?
Good game much closer than the score board

I didn't mean for it to sound like I'm saying you got lucky because of speed or anything. It was a great game plan you used. I'm talking specifically to what I did this season which was get safeties that were skilled but slow and see how effective they are. They are fairly effective overall but were too slow to make the tackle on these plays:

Ah my speed question was a bit of sarcasm. As long as I have been playing, speed has been king. The only secondary position where I slide a little on speed is SS. But not by choice.

Had too much negative energy to combat and took the L in PFL...slight miscalculation cost me. Hammond is a fierce competitor.

Now I gotta avoid a Claymore kick and get my moxie back. lol

In this version, you can get away with slow corners a little bit, but your safeties had better be up to snuff. Without them, that running back who busts out for 10 yards will house you instead.
