Ive been going back and forth on this for a bit on my lower lvl DT.

He has 95 natural agility and 91 natural str. All eq in str.

I have Bull Rusher but for his 2nd VA do people prefer heavyweight or workout warrior? I went with workout warrior but will likely swap them.

Heavyweight is a good option. I have it on my dt ATM and he's tossing them down like rag dolls. Once I have 15 in it I might got to workout or pocket crusher.

to follow up a discussion that either took place here or in the other long DE thread - speed ends still live and can thrive in this sim - http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2048864

Badly outleveled in US Pro but still having a nice year. Still has a nice amount of AGI but build hasn't rounded out yet to be truly great at breaking blocks/forcing fumbles. Will plateau late next season and be able to top off the secondaries and SA's at that point.

Some of my favorite run support plays so far this season --

even though she doesn't make the tackle on this one, the sheer brutality of her treatment of the blocking hb makes me smile - http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=1780121&pbp_id=7059964

Yep, there are quite a few speed DEs (or primarily speed at least) that are very good in WL.

Might be making a comeback on that build type...

Taut, I know he's a couple seasons away, but is my NT close to being worthy of a WL spot?

Interesting defense Menamino. Your RE better be damn fast enough to get to the QB before the QB dumps it off to one of the multiple guys in single coverage lol.

It's a risk,reward kind of deal I guess. Sort of like the ROLB blitzes. Still sick replays and it'll be cool to see how he does when he's not underleveled.

It looks like you have the emphasis in the right places, but I'm a little worried about your overall lack of effective SP power.

This guy is younger and seems to have a lot more EL going on, for instance: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2162476

Sorry

thanks, and yeah, certainly a lot of risk involved. By this time next season she'll have about 10 more spd, and some more agi as well and finally be rounded out on SA's. Blitzes should get home more often and she'll also do better at rushing while dropping 8 into coverage. Right now her BB% and shed block are lagging since I sold out on other things for this season in the hopes that turnovers could make us competitive despite the 300+ EL differential with some teams.

Yeah, I figured I squandered too many SPs when we got the influx of them at the start of the season.

seeing how few sacks DTs get is it worth taking tackling up in expense of speed and going for a MH or FF% piece. I mean seriously if ur gonna get a handfull of sacks why not try to add a couple of FFs to the stat-line. Or are DTs traveling at min speed at point of attack and FFs are just not gonna happen due to game mechanics?

With how few tackles attempts they get is tackling really worth it.......
