I'm sure lots of you tackle owners have spent an entire game watching your OT get scorched by a Speedy DE. I just watched my lvl 50 LT get beat repeatedly.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on how I can fix that? Here are my OT's stats:

speed and agility need significant boosts.

that's ridiculously low for level 50. get 20 more points each in speed and agility.

thanks for the advice, that's what i was also thinking. Today was really the first game my LT got burnt badly... though he still picked up 16 pancakes...

agility is more important, but you can definitely use a lot more speed as well.

You probably played against a low str, high speed DE. So if he wasn't running by you, you were putting him on his back.

Both speed and agility, but I'd do speed first as it is way to low. Bring it up to 1st cap, then more agility.

Did you really need to ask? Get speed to first cap ASAP, then work on agility to 3 or 4 cap, then go back to speed.

yeah, i did need to ask. I'm only a casual player, don't spend much time on the forums, so as far as build I just wasn't sure what to do about this situation.

Like everyone else, speed to 48 is your first goal, agility to 61 is the next.

Wow, guess you wanted those pancakes!!!! My LOT has less pancakes in all his seasons combine then yours in one season, but probably gave up less sacks all his seasons combine then yours does in one season alone.

You wanna stop those DEs? Get your protector to 10(if you're playing LOT), agility to 60+, speed to at least 50+ and all your equipment to blocking ASAP!!!!

edit: It might be too late for your OT to be a pass blocker though, get speed to first cap and move him to the ROT position.

My LOT gave up 1 sack this season. And has 169 pancakes. As I've said several times, pancakes don't matter, the 1st thing I look at is how many sacks we gave up in the game and if they were on me. But they aren't mutually exclusive either. You can get pancakes and not give up sacks.

Actually, if I pancaked more, we might have fewer sacks. They frequently come between me and the LG, but I've already got my hands full with the DE.

How to deal with high-speed DEs ? With 27 speed, it should be obvious...

Minimum requirements for a level 50 should be 68 agility and 49 speed. I'd prefer, with VAs starting to go toward quick, a 75 agility, 55 speed build. Just get to 68/48, and then keep training agi/spd IMO, it is really the best remaining option once vis/conf are capped as well.
