Assuming a high str NT (90+ str) with decent agility (65+)...

1) How much speed do you want? Is it *that* important to have high speed? More is certainly more but is there a huge difference between 30 and 50 for a NT?
2) How do you want to pass rush? I read that elusive can sometimes put you out of the play (and no longer doing your job of clogging the middle). Is there a consensus on this?

All I can tell you is what my team owner told me, and that is strength all the way.

NT is a very un-glorious position because most of the time he's expected to handle double teams and as a result, the number of tackles/sacks etc tend to be fairly low, but he plays a vital role in run-stopping.

And personally, I'd go bull-rush all the way. The last thing you want is to go skipping about trying to get sacks and allowing big holes in your line.

I'm sure there are many views on this obviously, this may well not be the best way to go.
