Warrior General Games

He started in all 16 games at the DT position. He finished with only 8 tackles... total! I tried switching up his tactics at mid season with no success.

I opened his build so maybe you guys could help me out. Thanks in advance.

most DTs dont get a lot of tackles they mainly suck up blockers and open things up for LB.

The NT that plays beside him had 62 tackles and the RDE had 92 tackles... It just seems a little strange that he only had 8. I think I could have started a level 13 DT and had more than 8. I'm a little worried it may be a build or tactics issue.

One change I will make is moving his CE SA tree to run stuffer instead of pass rusher. It should help some.

Solid enough build. Maybe a bit more speed and AG if you're not playing NT.

I would also say don't neglect jumping. Once I pumped it up for my NT (now sadly retired as of this morning ) I got a ton more PD's and more tackles, as jumping increased his ability for diving tackles. Not saying to dump SP's into it but training it when its as low as it is will rapidly improve it.

Maybe some more SAs could help out too. Shed blocks owns.

wut is tackling style? build is nice so it must be tactics. speed isnt that bad so i wouldnt worry about it altho it didnt work for u before. ive also heard that thing about jumping so i would say to work on that

Shed Blocks and Strong Base will work wonders for you.

I've seen most of the non-NT DT's using agility builds, this allows you to get off of blocks and free faster (rather than getting re-blocked) and almost act like an extra LB at times on rush plays. Maybe swap your EQ bonusses to agility when you can.

Definitely + speed and +jumping, jumping makes a difference in tackling radius even when being blocked.

Some good advice here. I would agree on jumping a bit and would also train your stamina up higher. It is about that time to add to your SA tree as well. Once you get your 32 eq, and on, put it into agility as right now your strength is very good.

So far the suggestions are put a few SP's in Shed Blocks and Strong Base, train Jumping and add a little more to speed.

I'm not saying that I disagree with you, but isn't 70 agility pretty high for a level 31?

Tackling style was balanced first half of the season, then changed it to power the second half.

I guess I will keep the pass rusher SA's and find a piece of AEQ with SA bonus to Shed Blocks or Strong Base.

What I meant is if you're not playing NT you'd be better served with some of that equipment in AG. Yes your AG is good for your level but you might find success switching your rushing style (for which you WILL need more speed).

Got it.

build looks good. now move on to SA's

I guess Rate my player is also the place for build help and suggestions...

This is not a rate my player thread.

So, are you saying I need much more Agility to be effective?
