Shannon Sharpe

[cubsball899]

anybody regularly use this guy? i have just started to use him lately, i never used to give tight ends above bronze a second look, but man is this guy dominant!!!! it takes a while to set up a playbook and go through all the subs you need to use him properly but you can move him all over the field and he is UNSTOPPABLE! i use him in tandem with eric green who is a GREAT blocking TE and that gives me the freedom to put sharpe wherever i want him, he can get open anywhere on the field against whatever coverage and always makes big plays


also have been using ken stabler as quarterback which i haven't heard much about, but he's been awesome for me!

Shannon Sharpe is a beast, as is Ditka.

I like Stabler, but I'm not a big fan of lefty QBs, especially since I have a tendency to go to the right when I need to scramble

i wish this was like the madden forums, i'd have 50+ posts by now... i'm having to adjust to stabler as well but he's been deadly accurate for me so far

Yeah, Sharpe can be unstoppable at times in this game. Even double and triple teams won't slow him down. I still like Ditka b/c of his blocking ... or for an economy pick, Eric Green.

Snake is awesome @ QB. Using him right now.

Yes, he is unstopable and for RB I picked Chris Warren and he is unstopable too...Never heard of the guy but he breaks tackles like crazy for me.

Nice to see someone else use Warren. Very underrated in this game, imo. Warren was a stud for the Seahawks in the 80's.

I've been using Matt Snell lately. Guy is a definite workhorse and has decent speed, too. My all-time favorite back in this game is Hornung, though. He's so versatile; he can literally play 3-5 positions and is good at all of them. He has good speed, hands and a great truck move.

i am using sharpe and eric green in tandem right now which is perfect because i can put Sharpe out wide in a regular i-form n i can move shannon around the slot or TE-Flex situations... i can even put eric green at fullback when i don't have a place for him on the LOS. they're just a great combination

Yes, I found a 2nd TE works better in so many different facets just like you mentioned. Get one receiving TE & one balanced/mauler. The receiver TE can be used in the slot while the mauler can be used as the FB and it gives you much more flexibility with the offense.

Hmm, i may fire up ol' APF soon, not many people to play on the BB forums. I wonder if there are any leagues?
