Mel Blount and Ted Hendricks CAP'S Thoughts?

[ILLAIM]

Okay I made Mel Blount and Ted Hendricks CAPS yesterday. (It’s amazing how this game will make cause you to scour Wikepedia, NFL.com and The Hall of Fame site for talent)

And I just want some feed back on what you think they should be like ability wise. I’m at work so I can’t run them down with complete Accuracy but I’m pretty sure they stand like this

Mel Blount
Bump Master
Ball Hawk
Strength Bonus
Loose Ball Magnet
Coverage Bonus


Ted Hendricks
Leadership
Run Coverage
Ball Hawk
Hops (He was 6’7 or 6’8 during his playing days and the game will only let you make him 6’6)
Loose Ball Magnet


Thoughts?

I had Mel on my team with the same abilities also and he was a beast.

Thanks for ya imput man

lol I hear you..bout the two inches, l... I felt kinda suspect on that at first cuz i could't find any intell if he could really jump or not, but Football is a game of inches and i would get ****ed if he missed a tip that he at his rightful hight would have gotten

You know what I didn't even think about big hit for Mel, but at that size and being apart of the Steel Curtin era Steelers that should have been a given...and is a great reason (excuse) to get rid of the Loose Ball Magnet attribute.

My first game with Mel was cool....one of the Rare DB's that could shut Herman Moore down for a complete game

He played very solid coverage for me, the "Hops" came in handy when receivers got behind him and thought that they had an open catch.

I am a HUGE Ted Hendricks fan. Never saw him play in real life but I have scoured the internet for info on him.

First off when i created him I made him a Bz with Strength as his only ability and he was friggin awesome. At 6'7 you dont need to give him Hops. Trust me he will tip a ton of passes w/o the Hops ability.

If you are making him a 5 ability Gold I would recommend:

1. Special Team Demon-He was a force on ST blocking kicks like no other player of his time and running down KRs as well, which leads me to his 2nd attribute
2. Speed Burner or Closing Speed- known for being one of the fastest players of his time.
3. Strength- Ted had uncanny strength for a guy that was as tall and lanky as he was. In his days RBs were more brute then finesse and he had no troubles knocking the big fellas on their butt
4. Run Coverage-For obvious Reasons
5. Pass Coverage-For obvious Reasons as well

Enjoy playing with the old guy I sure have. My Hendricks CAP was a beast :thumbsup:
