That being said, my question is why people prefer using DEs to "stop" the outside run instead of using run stop LBs and defenses that use the safeties to come up and make the tackle?

Some people like sending the De's into flats to stop the run, which can redirect the run, but IMO isn't very effective at stopping the runs, typically teams that run DE flats still give up 4-5 ypc against the sweeps with that play, I'd hardly consider that a good average, but I think it's done to insulate CB's who can't shed Wr blocks from being exposed against the outside rush. It typically redirects HB's inside and gives the LB's and Safeties more time to get to the ball carrier. However it offers next to no pass rush, and isn't good at stopping the off tackle and inside rush, and also allows for deep passing plays to develop. So TE Drive, and TE Post, and any deep WR route is going to do well against it.

HB build looks oddly familiar... lol




Oh is this similar to the end build plan for BB's HB? I just tried to check the link in the team forum, but it no longer works... probably because of the GLB2Scout update.

Agree. I hate balanced teams.

As a longtime champion of the all-run team, it is much harder than it used to be. The extra blocking skills do not make up for defense's ability to plug in run stoppers freely and take out pass defenders and run contain defensive sets.

Tough

you just need speed on defense, stop building defensive player with 60 speed. I mean that is just stupid and unrealistic.

Sprinting & conditioning... I noticed that my linebacker was able to make some pretty good tackles with little no investment in tackling skills at the time.

At least 70 - 80 sprinting and the rest you already know.

my LBs have 90 speed. I really like speed at LB

And break run block and max tackling skills.

Speed won't help you stop a goalline offense with 100 power HB running off tackle.

you are right, I only spent SP on speed and then i stopped applying SP

Yes it will. Not going to do much if the hb crosses the goal line before your lb gets to him.
