This guy ain't going anywhere, he's signed through next season, but I'm definitely interested in feedback...

Background: 1 season of "super slow build" (rot on the bench and train) followed by one season of backup PT on a 13-cap, so he was almost level 14 when my new team signed him this year without boosting. Through those two seasons he dabbled a bit in AEQ and hit the jackpot twice, once with a Big Hit piece and again with a Shed Blocks. Both are nearly fully upgraded.

Build:

Str: 73.13 (+8 from EQ)
Spd: 69.19 (+6 from CEQ)
Agi: 70.13 (+1 from endorsement)
Jump: 18.45
Stam: 16.45 (+1 from AEQ)
Vis: 21.45
Con: 20.45
Block: 18.45
Tackle: 54.13 (+1 from AEQ)

Rest are 8's except 9 in Carrying.

No points spent on SA's - but CEQ in pass rusher, so it's 1/1/3/1/1 plus the 2 in Big Hit.

I know I need to committ the EQ to either Spd or Str, I'm just not sure which, what with all the DE nerfs. That's kinda the biggest piece of advice I'd like to get here - but I'm really not sure if I didn't completely screw this build up out of the gate....

That's why I ran it all down for you. It's all there in the post.

Well, from my experience, speed works better than str for Pass Rush DEs. I would push additional caps on agi, then speed, then str. Then another speed. Train vis/con or jum/vis as you're going to need vis capped as well.

Speed; This DE has been playing against his 'peers' in levels since he was created and statistically he's done very well.
