That build looks pretty solid as a pass-rusher. You could use a bit more strength, more vision, more confidence, more speed (just from equipment, I wouldn't spend SP on speed at this point) but your core abilities are all pretty solid.

Drop Heavyweight, though. The reverse-pancake roll is primarily strength based, so although you'll get a lot of chances to reverse-pancake thanks to your agility and shed block, you won't actually win those rolls very often at all even with 15 in heavyweight.

Definitely need more speed should be over 100 by now ,agility is very good..More strength,vision and tackling are needed.

Would 97 speed and 70 agility be a better option? I haven't bought the adv eq yet.

I think I'd go with the original option. Maybe 92 speed. 94 is pretty good too.

Work your agility up. you're on the right track. don't listen to the clowns telling you that's enough agility. If you want to be really good with all that shed blocks get your speed and agility to 90/90 and work your vision up. If you want heavyweight to work better get str up to about 60 or 61.

Clowns?If you want to be a pass rushing LB you need speed,you guys are hung up on agility needs to be even with speed and it does not.

Agility seems to make sense because speed won't help you turn corners sharply

As a pass rushing linebacker, you are not running a very far distance on any given play. That means you don't have an enormous amount of time to reach top speed, unlike say a WR running a route. This means that if the guy has 100+ speed and only 70 agility, he is not making optimal use of his player, as he won't ever hit that 100 speed given the short distance being run, and the cuts one is forced to make when attempting to circumvent an OT.

With that said, if he instead focused on getting his LB to 90/90 speed and agility, he would hit 90 speed quite often, as he has the agility to quickly accelerate and recover lost speed from cuts.

Care to counter that with, "says the guy with a level 2 LB"?

Edit:

Also, I recommend getting strength higher, and capping tackling. Alot of quarterbacks have high strength and you don't want to have him do all that work getting around the LT just to miss the sack.

116+ Speed
74 Agility

I think my guy has no problem getting to the QB..There are different ways to build,high agility is not always needed.

Of course he has no problem getting to the quarterback? When you win a game 175-0 you should get 5 sacks. I think everyone who is rushing the passer is getting at least a sack.

My level 10 NT got 2 sacks last game and all he has is strength.
My DE also got a couple (when he was on run focus).
