I have a lvl 42 that is holding his own for now , have Strength at 105.82 (+31 is EQ) . http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2563861

Also have a lvl 66 pass rush DT, but he plays STonly , all his EQ is in speed.http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2440952

At the pro/WL lvl , not much success with pass rushing DT, and before the mid season "bug fix" , was not really ANY " successful " DT's tbh

Warning: to build a decent pass rusher (whether or not it works in this sim), due to strength being a minor, he'll only become effective quite late in the player's career. Don't judge the capabilities of a half-built player. Check out those in the pros/WL.

My pass rushing DT http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2559739&playoffs=0 is mostly playing special teams, but when he isn't, he actually gets some stats. In a couple of seasons he'll become better.

EDIT: Better enough? I dunno. I suggest you wait and see.

Yes/No/Maybe

Considering my speed is kinda low and i have yet to equip my 4th piece of AEQ and being a bit underleveled he works alright.

You really do not have to go with a Pass Rusher Archetype imo.

I went with a Run Stuffer and Agility first, it works but i currently have 3 AEQ pieces in Strength and 1 EQ piece in strength my 4th AEQ will give +13 agility and should create more havok.

Agility DTs have not been effective for quite some time. I have requested numerous times for the role of agility to be boosted in holding pass blocks and breaking pass blocks, but sadly I am not in charge of GLB.

Negative. Not only are they rarely effective due to the blocking interaction (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, DTs in real life just don't get stats), but if a defensive coordinator reads 'pass' and wants to rush 4, he's going to go with a 3-man line and a blitzing linebacker or corner. So you're not only fighting an uphill battle against how the position itself is coded, but you're comepting with other positions who are going to do it flat better.

Definitely smart to come out here and ask around before building.
