Then again, Admin has come out and said that Blocking does help the Defense to a small degree and I doubt that Position would be worthless to ST CBs... so the skill sets are pretty much the same if you look at it that way. Pretty sure that STs CBs don't need tackling either. Gunners seem to be like fast LBs, STs CBs seem to be more like TEs without the catching.. or FBs without the carrying. I can't really fathom a reason why anyone would use a CB on the KRS as standard procedure.

Yeah, what makes it worse is say someone new to american football starts playing on here and learns that there 2 different types of CB and then he starts watching the game on TV ...........

Okay I set my both gunners and kick returner for my friendly which took place today. And none of them took to the field, one of my DL men was doing kick return and so was my kicker.

Can anyone explain?

But would there be a point since that would confuse people? The CBs add a bit of strategy to the game. You can use the same guy as you use for the regular CB, or you can specialize and have two separate types of CB - one for special teams (with blocking) and one for the defensive team (with tackling)

I have to say that I can see why Oneknee is unhappy about this.

The best 'CB' on special teams is going to be someone with speed but good at blocking. People like that are going to be my backup OL or TE/FB. They'd be suited to blocking the gunners.
Yet by playing them in what would be a suitable position (by skills), they will soon become CBs as their primary position will change if I play them at CB for a few games. They'll maybe get good ratings as a CB, even though they have no coverage/DB skills at all.

It doesn't really make much sense. You didn't use WRs for gunners, you have them unique positions - why use CBs for the jammers?

But...but...Quentin Jammer IS a CB!
