Buliding a kick-off coverage team, to me is the hardest to build, because I must have 6 fast men who run with a wide arc (3 from the left, 3 from the right, and the rest run straight.

You are so right Smitty. I can see Big Keith running back to back to back kick returns against Corey form the playoffs. otherwise Corey might have get over the hump.

Once I have this done, then I build my interior OL and DL. This gives me a mental break from the pressure of finding base for my Special Team. Strengh bases are alot easier for me to build.

Then, I build the skill players both offensively and defensively. There are occasions when I find different bases run with different figures, but I don't give figures alot of thought when it comes to matching up a base with a figure. However, my entire A1 Ravens' Weighted Team is with custom figures.

But, kick coverage and kicking FG's, alot of coaches neglect.

Smitty

Special teams to me seems easy after completing mostly my defense. I will usually have LB, CB, Safeties on the field making plays. With a tounament roster, you have to really fine-tune the coverage teams.

Excellent Coach Smitty, Thanks for the insights
