Hey
I have always wanted to try something new with a blitzing LB. I want to make a LB which 1st priority is Agility and 2nd is speed. His build would end like this 130 agility and maybe about 80 speed. Then get 10 in shed block and 15 in technique man.

Have somebody else tried this before or is it not worth the try?

The speed is pretty low and you would end up with a lot of hurries but not a lot of sacks as you would not be fast enough to get the sack. On a blitzing LB i think speed needs to be at 100 at a bare minimum.

If you made that build and gave him good tackling and strength he'd be good against the run as he'd be able to get off any run blocks by the leading FB or any exterior linemen he runs into so as to make the tackle. But he just isn't fast enough to get to the QB.

You just don't have enough speed to make it to the QB before he gets through his progression, at best you'll get a lot of hurries.

Maybe you are right, but i think i will try it.

Sounds like a better experiment as an MLB.

good luck, enjoy the process, and make of the build what you will.

you will need more speed. 130/130

That could be awesome, but the player will not be able to do alot of other things

do you want to be a bad ass blitzer, or do other things.

agreed. depending on your DC, you could be just clogging the middle and stopping inside runs. high agility and lowish speed might work ok there and allow you to have high tackling strength. but if you ever were in coverage youd get smoked with 90 speed. even D lineman would be faster.
