He's not going to be breaking that many blocks with that type of build is my guess, but the low vision causing him to not get off the line might also play a factor since he's a speed rusher in essence without the strength up there to break blocks.

What about using the high agility being used in the shock break block thing? Maybe I don't understand how that works well enough, can strength and agility be used together or isn't it two seperate rolls for that?

Your vision is way low. Your strength is way low. Your speed is ok but I would get it up to within 10 of agility at the very least.

Ya, low vision is hurting you. You get off late on most snaps and then, if there is a quality to the jump in the vision check, your quality is low as well making it a slow start when you do start. First Step and Vision would both help you but since you're capping Vision would probably help most while still letting you grow the build.

the guy is level 27, lol! of course his vision is low. ( you sould work on str first , btw)

imo this build should do better at that level (much better actually, considering the results of their games), but...

you are the most successful pass rusher in your team. so maybe you are in a league with great passblocking. are you playing rde or lde?

but, to be quite honest, i call negative x-factor on this one.

keep going on this one dude. Just work on strength now. Train jumping/vision right now. You're doing great. Swap your VA to something else come the beginning of next season.

13 sacks isn't bad at all, no reason to complain imo.

if you really need more sacks in this level range, i would take a look at switching all equipment to speed and line up where you can go untouched around the OT. at your level, most OTs havent hit the point in their build where they raise speed so you can actually get away with the old school method of avoiding them completely. imo, this level range should be a speed DE's prime.

in the meantime, raise your strength, but you knew that already

Maybe try to find a piece of shed blocks AEQ.

get vision up, it will help you get off the line faster, I'd make sure you get strength to 68 cap by lvl 40, otherwise you'll get destroyed

again... I repeat. STAY THE COURSE! Work on strength first.

When building a DE likes this you can't expect him to be a standout untill you have finished str and then move onto vision, but you will be ever so dominant later on. Try moving all equip to speed, it tends to do better if u lack the strength.
