Getting deeper into the game and although a longtime Football Fan, from time to time there are still some open questions...

This time: What situation exactly the CornerBack Special Teams comes into play?

First i thought this are the guys for wedging holes for the Kick/Punt-returner - but since everybody suggest tackling vor the CB Special Teams, seems i am wrong.

Thanks for help,

Thanks for the info! I'm still a bit puzzled over this position tho :/ As I understand it the best skill set for this position would be speed, blocking, and what perhaps positioning? Since the gunners are doing the tackling a normal CB wouldn't have the same skill set right? While it helps establish the BPOS for a CB what else do they have in common? It seems that a CB would be better suited as a Gunner and a LB would be better suited for use as a ST CB the way you're stating.Last edited on 2009-04-28 at 10:33

To be honest what you do with this doesn't seem to have a major impact (unless it's gonna be a close game against a human when every little edge will help) so I would suggest testing on your part to see what suits you and your team best.
CBs - many managers value the tactical skills more than tackling. I try to combine both with speed, agility and intelligence.
If I have CB who can block then he can double on ST or I just pick someone else who can block.
Gunners - I like these guys to have similar skills to linebackers.

Most of the time I use ST to bump up chemistry for new players except kick returner where I always play the best RB type skillset players with speed preferably 15+. This seems to get the most return yardage for me.
