How much does he weigh? If he is under 255 he might always have trouble. Remember he is going up against pulling G's and C's at 330+lbs!! DE's are best around 270+lbs.

Stone wall.

He has a DT I believe, not a DE.

Get your Wall up to 8+, and Breakthru up to 8+ if you can. Remember you have G/C that are trained to knock you on your ass, and are you playing out of your league or against equal competition, those help explain those numbers too.

But overall I see a decent build for a DT

Having low stamina now is going to kill you

That DT is pretty average at best. You focused too much on speed and by doing so, ignored the key attributes in strength and agility. They should both be in the 80's/90's naturally but instead they're both in the 70's. The only way to keep him from getting pancaked is to do what BiggerBlue is stating which involves you taking Wall up higher. And possibly use the Stonewall VA (which I don't recommend for well built DT's, but since you lack strength you need to).

Your confidence is fine. Stamina is not too terrible, but should be around 50ish.

Get rid of intimidating. Terrible VA choice there.

Everyone else has given pretty sage advice. If I had that build right now my plan for short term would be:

- Dump your Strong Base piece of AEQ for a Break Block piece (assuming it isn't a Strong base + BB% piece), as that should net you fewer pancakes since it will help offset hold block % that many O-line carry.

- Get Stamina up to 50 this year if you can

Guessing you have used your VA reset, so see where the above gets you this season.

If you are still getting 'caked throughout the year, dump Intimidating for Wall next season. After that I would probably also dump Technique Man for Workout Warrior. I know people hate the .3 Attribute VA's, but I look at it like this, you barely had any hurries last year so Technique Man didn't really help you. Conversely, 3.5 extra STR on every play is sure to help at least a little bit over the course of a season.

Thanks alot everyone, I will get back to this post at the end of the season, and update you
