For a heavy blitzing ROLB, that's a pretty great build. That stamina is pretty woeful and limits how often you can be successful, but now that your speed and agility are so high, I figure that's what you were going to work on next... I'd work on that, get vision to the 60 or 68 cap and then work on tackling/jumping for a while. It might not hurt to sneak in a couple more points in agility, but really there's not much else anybody could reasonably expect at this point. I'd maybe try and find a piece of First Step AEQ to go along with Blitz, but again... This is pretty close to perfect for a guy who blitzes 90% of the downs he's in the game for.

Needs more tackling. Increased tackle radius = more sacks.

look at his stats, hes abused all his other stats to get his speed and agility up, idk which player hes talking about cause he doesnt have lb that lvl high to have these stats but good build

Its the projected level 40 build of this player...

I was just curious if its a solid plan or not. Maybe I could sacrifice some of that speed/agility to increase his tackling/vision a bit more.

I don't see what he's "abused". People can talk about how LBs need strength now all they want... but LBs don't, period. The softcap is all that was ever needed, and that hasn't changed. What LBs need now is a lot more tackling than they used to. Even then, 50 tackling is going to be enough for most powerbacks. Not a huge deal, and he could worry about it thereafter. Especially since he's going to be chasing QBs most of the time. Jumping is kind of low, but he won't be in coverage much, since he'd ideally be a ROLB. Vision is lowish, but not to the point of severe detriment... Especially when he's mostly going to be blitzing. And he'll definitely have enough to get pretty decent jumps on the snap. The stamina is the only thing I'd say is terrible, but I wouldn't freak out about it.

that's a lot of speed, might be overkill from the ROLB position

that's pretty sick. I say go for it. At that point, higher confidence, tackling, and jumping could help with sacks. IMO as a ROLB, you won't need vision to be super high.

As far as strength...you may not "need" more than 50, but you can certainly benefit from it. Do you "need" 110 speed? What's more effective, not just in terms of sacks, but overall plays, 105 speed with 55 strength, or 110 speed and 50 strength?

I have a LB that is well on his way to something very similar to this. His agility will be higher though...we'll see how high I get the top speed.

It's up to you. I'd say get speed that high, and work on tackling post-40. My LB has been at 120 speed/40 tackling and didn't get as many sacks as the other ROLB on the team who was at 100ish speed and 60 tackling. There are many lurking variables, of course, but I think that tackling is a good investment for a blitzing ROLB.
