Defenders with this ability are rarely faked out by ballcarrier moves (and cannot be faked out when user-controlled).

Flat Zone KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch knockouts and react quicker in any flat zone coverage, less than 10 yards from the LoS and outside the hash marks.

Short Route KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch tackle knockouts in man-to-man versus short routes less than 10 yards from LoS
