Would this build work as a pure blitzing LBer? Would he be useful?

Sprint 99
Quick 70
Blitz awareness 80
Snap Reaction 80

PRT 30
PRP 25
FW 30

TT 74
PT 35
TG 35

Def Con 35
Pursuit 26

Conditioning 57
Balance 30
Intimidation 40
Heart 30
Toughness 26
Diving 25

Forget pass rush tech and pass rush power entirely.
Drop blitz awareness to 55 or so.

Raise consistency and footwork. Otherwise it's solid.

So this is just pure speed, no spin cycle or the sort? Most ppl prefer that type of blitzer?

...As opposed to say a guy with say 70 speed, 70 PRT, 70 Foot, 70 Intimidation, 50 quick?

Pretty much, spin cycle won't fire fast enough. The LB pretty much needs to get to the QB as fast as possible and you either get him in time or hope you can force him to run into a DE that has broken free. If the LB hits a blocker, he almost certainly won't make the sack regardless of tech/power/spin cycle. Tunnel vision is a good blitzing SA due to the speed/quickness boost in case first step doesn't fire, so I like to take PBP to like 30ish to get it to fire.

With the stats I mentioned I've had these stats, with the lower sack count in seasons do to being in leagues with more rushing teams:

Is that bad compared to most blitzing LB?

And with that speed build, do you set to elusive or combo or what for tactics?

Destro will get PRP to 67 and Gold Tunnel Vision. If any puny HB tries to block him, he will get plowed over.

but is he still going to have time to get to the QB after pancaking the RB? Probably not assuming he even does so. 100 Speed LBs with a straight shot dont even make it that often.

I prefer combo, with elusive the LB will take an inefficient roundabout path to the QB, and on Power his pathing is off on certain plays and he tends to run into the OL more often imo, but thats just what Ive noticed

With my current LB, you think is sack count is low compared to the speed rusher yall listed?

I don't know...guess we will see.

Fundamentally, yes, but I would make some tweaks like:

- don't bother with any pass rush skills
- more Snap Reaction
- more Def Con
- more Pursuit
- more Conditioning

Take stuff from other skills to put more into the things above.

how did you get up to 99 speed? I can't get there on glb2scout.

I used

Strength 1
Stamina 6
Speed 10
Awareness 8
Agility 8
Confidence 2

+ Egoist

I'll have to use one cap booster to hit 99.

thank you
