I know this is a pretty n00b-type question, but what's the best SA for a run-stuffing DT to choose at the start of a build? I've always viewed First Step as the best, but lately I'm seeing some blowback.

Diving Tackle, Wrap Up Tackle, basically anything that helps with either tackling or breaking blocks. With DT’s already possessing Shed Block, Strong Base, Wall, and Break Through, the BB piece is taken care of. Many people are seeing great perks with having capped if not more in jumping, Diving Tackle and other things to increase the tackling radius. Besides, how much speed will your end build have?

Likely low-to-mid 70s

Diving Tackle at the mo. Some people add monster hit also, but only if they have tackling above 90, power tackler, hard tackling settings etc.

First Step is popular also.

If u cant make diving tackles your DT will really suck tbh, anyone who leaves jumping at 6 is gonna be a misserable tackler. I dont have diving tackle on mine but my jumping is fairly decent and it makes a huge diff. So anything to help in that area is advisable. FS is also very good but probably not soo much if only plan on low 70's SPD

Definitely look at Diving Tackle, Monster Hit, and Tackling related SAs. FS with Speed in the low 70s is not a great investment. The boost to acceleration vs focusing on Tackling and Tackling radius is the key debate. As you are a run stuffer, it is easy to make a clear point for focusing on tackling related items after BB related items over speed items. Besides with the last season’s changes regarding diminished tackling radius while being blocked...
