well looks of your last game you only got 23 plays....you didnt miss any tackles your player just wasnt in the postion to tackle anybody or didnt get the chance to due to low amount of plays

probably more speed... but you shouldnt be touching that unless you want to compromise your end build. that the unfortunate thing about a HH build. its probably going to suck for a while. but once you are able to pump speed, you should really start to get production.

Vision, Agility, Speed are all good ways to read plays and get into position to make plays.

Hard hitters won't come around for a while, and if you neglect speed/agility early on then you're just going to get ran by most of the time or be too much of a liability in coverage to see good playing time.

This. My guy is still slow [though I decided to temporarily split some EQ into Speed from Strength to compensate]. He doesn't get there often, but when he does- good hits, short run gains.

3 FF in 3 games so far. Admittedtly i'm in a god-awful league....

Also... whilst i'm here, could someone explain to me why my owner would have my guy starting at ROLB when he is slow as hell... and built to stop the run... and only the run...

I went vision first, then agility, now I'm on strength with tackling next. Those four will all be brought to 77. Speed is obviously next....yes...he is slow..very slow, but his quickness is great. He gets into position to make plays on a consistent basis because of his high agility/vision.

IMO, if you want to make a true HH acrhtype....he will be slow. So high vision and acceleration/agility are a must. Strength and tackling should also be very high because the HH LB needs to be automatic when taking down the back. I guess I would compare a HH to a smaller DT.
