ROLB, LOLB, MLB. Why should they be built differently?

lolb is your best lb, and does more pass coverage. MLB is your most balanced, and you want that defense general SA. ROLB blitzes the most.

LOLB comes out on all nickle and dime packages, so he really isn't your top pass coverage LB. He isn't even on the field on most obvious passing downs. The TE only lines up on the right side of the line as of right now and so when teams run the ball they run to the right, behind the TE so he can be a leading blocker, for the vast majority of the time. Thus your LOLB should be a tackling machine as running plays come his way the most.

LOLB
The most well-balanced LB on the team. He has to be able to hit, cover a good bit, and has to be quick enough to stay with backs and TEs. I'm a pretty solid believer in him being an average speed guy with high AGI, STR, and VIS because most running plays come his way. So that means he's going to be taking on a ton of Blockers to make tackles, thus the reason why he should need those three core stats to help in shedding blocks and making the tackle.
MLB
One of the faster LBs on the squad because he has to make tackles sideline to sideline. Now, he also has to be the most "unselfish" LB as this guy should be pumping points into helping your defense. Defensive General, Aura of Int, etc should all be worked on in this LB more than any LB on the squad. There are a fair amount of tackles that come his way, so he needs some solid STR to work off of blockers and make the play. Also, you're in on nickel and dime formations so you need great AGI to stay with backs and TEs in pass coverage.
ROLB
Has to be your fastest and quickest LB on the squad. Along with the MLB, this LB is in on passing plays. So he just needs to be an absolute speed demon. Your AGI and SPD should be through the roof so that you can make tackles on plays that occur on the other side of the field (that's where the majority of runs go in GLB). He also blitzes a fair amount, but with solid AGI and SPD that shouldn't really be a problem. He needs a fair amount of STR to work off of blockers to blitz the QB as well as to shed blocks on runs.
