His effective level of 84 would suggest to me that he should be putting up better stats but he isn't. Is there a minor/major build issue that's holding him back, or is it just his DC? I have 27 SP's left, 26 VA's and 3 slots on his CE to assign....any suggestions would be appreciated. If you think it's probably a DC issue, could somebody make a trade for him???? Thanks,

TBH u shoulda put all EQ into speed and not wasted it on agility. Second thing i notice is u have tackling and vis attrib VAs but no track star, this is a must have VA for blitzers. I like the FF% but I would have teamed it with Bigsack and not shed blocks, I assume u may have tried to combo agility + SBs and gone for more of a BB guy?. But the biggest problem besides the SPD total is for sure your low stamina. Speed is highly effected by stamina attribute, I would probably put all your remaining SP into this, someone might offer better advice in this regard but that is where I would go. Build is not bad really, just think u mixed a few things the wrong way. Im not sure if u have 3 or 4 piece EQ but someone may ask u to sell the agil piece and just grab a free +10 SPD straight up. That + 10 to speed may be a bigger net gain than whatever bonus u would lose. GL either way, and hope you get settled and hitting QBs

Thanks Sellars. Unfortunately when I built his AEQ I mixed each piece so each one started with +3 agility and then maxed out with speed. Figured in the 140's would get the job done for speed and wanted to keep his agility a bit higher to sneak past past blockers. Also went with shed blocks instead of something else hoping that would help mask his lower STR totals if he ever got locked up with a blocker. Still have the 26 VA's left so can easily move 15 to track star, and that should hit his SPD into the 150's range. Is that still not fast enough? I'm not looking to have this guy cover WR's on fly routes....Was thinking a decent pass rush DE has about 140 SPD and he would be as fast or a little faster than that.

blitzing LB's need at least 160 speed to be truly dominant.
Need more stamina, More Disguise blitz, More Strength.

Not a bad build, but the agility EQ killed it.
