I seem to be getting blown past by DE's...I thought I had a decent build, but can someone let me know where i need to improve?

I maxed out Blocking and Strength on the Veteran Ability, and I have Equipment on Get Low and Pancake. All my equipment is on Strength. So any advice is good advice!

so you are saying guys are going around you? Are you not even hardly touching them? That affects the solution.

Well for the most part I blocked well, I had 5 pancakes, but I gave up two sacks in a row where it looked like I was standing still! The DE had more speed and agility, I was able for the most part to keep him on the outside, but 2 out of every 10 snaps I was getting beat. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but i don't want to give up any!

The first sack was because the LG got blown up by the NT and you went to help... that is pretty much what goes on in real football, you always block the defender who has the straight line. Pass blocker would have helped there too, as it was 2nd and long. +30% agility and blocking is huge, quicker movements and larger blocking radius.

The second sack was due to your lack of the pass blocker VA. It's almost a requirement these days for OTs. If the DL has pass rusher and you don't have pass blocker (or vice versa), the person without is at a huge disadvantage. What other VA out there is going to give you ~21 agility and ~22 blocking for 15 VA pts, in a good amount of situations?
