Anyone ever go with an agility-heavy DE? I'm talking about building up agility first and putting all equipment points in to agility. If so, how did it go? What are the pitfalls other than the obvious one where the DE may not be able to get to the QB? Are there any advantages to it?

I'll admit beforehand to not building many DE's... but I've seen plenty posted about at least one aspect of your question and that is the equipment part. Most I've seen doing anything agility based (rather than speed or strength based) say to NOT put your EQ into agility... but rather into strength or speed (guessing speed here since you're asking about an agility heavy DE build so I'm guessing he's not a RUN STUFFING DE... if so, then I'd say strength). That's all I got for ya.

pass rushers tend to put eq in agi so that technic man will work. Im building a pass rusher with 130 agi. I belive if you put all eq in agi it will be a bit overkill, because the o-line will not be close to that... But if you are going to try with 150+ agi, try atleast get str and spd between 90-100

i use mine to rush from the LE position. the lack of strength has kinda hindered him a bit. but still a pretty good pass rusher

my lvl 68 DE is built similar to bama's with this exception, speed 109, going to 122, agility 127, going to 130
last 2 seasons, hurries=33and27, sacks=49 and43.
don't put all into agility, split between agility and speed. Then, get strength as high as possible since, in- between sacks and hurries, your dot does spend time being pancaked if strength is low.
