Hard hitting or Coverage type?

He used the Blitz LB arch. Also dot is 255 and 6'2" which is the lower end of the spectrum (max #'s of 270 and 6'6"). Majors are Agility, Jumping, Speed, and Tackling. Minors are Confidence, Stamina, Strength, and Vision.

All that says he's literally build more in the Coverage number range than the Run Stuff range. Not sure if he means Speed is 80.52 WITH the +16 or if he means total speed is 95.52. Either way it's a little on the low side... especially if his natural speed is only 65.52! I would say as a MLB he'd be most useful as a Combo style build with emphasis on the Run stopping. My take (ending numbers)?;

Strength; 60+ (70 preferred)

Speed; 90 natural at the minimum

Tackling; 85-95

Agility; 80-90

Jumping; 1st cap minimum (more is good but other skills more important).

Vision; 80-90 (more is better but I don't think he can get there as he is now).

Confidence; 40 plus whatever is left you can add to it.

SA's? Shed Block to 10 for sure.

I've seen a blitzing LB have ~100 strength and tackling. Coverage though looks the best option at this moment.

Tackling is more like 75-80, around triple capped jumping, stamina to 60, and I would aim for 100+ speed (unless your going for 4 AEQ and then you can bring it back a few points.

SA's - Super Vision. Shed Block? That'd be a bit down on my list. Others SA's I've had over the seasons are Shutdown Coverage, Sticky Hands, Zone Focus and still I'd select others before Shed Block (this is more for the D-Line or HHLB's in my opinion) like First Step, Quick Cut.

Not bad ideas Sonic. I was taking off his statement he's going to be (used as) a MLB. I'm a little less of a believer in the need for speed in the middle. OLB's, absolutely. The MLB can get by with a little less. If he can hit 90 nat then great... if he can hit 100 nat and still hit the rest of those numbers, awesome. But he'll see a lot of PHB's and O-linemen and BFB's in the middle (when run plays happen) and he'll need more strength than speed and plenty of tackling to stop those. Some 5% Break Block would be sweet too. That's why I'd want Shed Block. Hey... if you can swing 10 in Super Vision as well then that's awesome. Thing is, already at Level 25, he needs to pick his primary skills and hammer them now to set the build to what the D-Coach needs. I figured, from his post, that he's not going to blitz enough to use the Blitz arch specifically... and wanted something in the middle to stop the run and not be worthless against the pass. Anyways... that's what I was thinking.
TBH, I agree with going Coverage style with the Primary Skill set of the Bltz LB arch... but then if that's true I'd want to play the dot as a OLB, not a MLB.

Thanks for the tips. Really appreciate it.
