assume speed / agility / vision in the 40 / 50 range. thanks

Whatever you can train them too without getting into skill points basically. So 25 range with each and use your points to soft cap speed/agility/vision. With changes to carrying and tackling next season this may change where you need more, but I'm going to wait until I see how my guy does with the changes.

My feeling is it doesn't matter how good you can tackle if your not there to make it.

smallbugger.......thanks ...... so str of 25-30 is good enough to fight off blockers whether a TE or a FB to make the play?

i agree with wrap-up, you'll make the tackle if there

It's kinda the job of the MLB to fight off blocks with higher strength, ect. The LOLB usually plays in space (chasing down pitches to elusive backs) or covering the TE in pass coverage. The MLB I play next to me gets the Hurries and sacks, but I'm all over the field for pass coverage and stopping fast backs.

*warning my opinion - but we spend much more time away from getting blocked

I'm level 18 so take my words as you like.... few plays from the only game my team has lost this year (I play on a very good defense)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=8932034 (a random win of ours)

Both kinda show if your vision (with good speed/agility)is high enough you'll find you run around blocks more than take them on.

I don't feel like looking up coverage (last game the TE got some catches), but usually the TE I cover doesn't see the ball unless I'm blitzing... he isn't open so nothing get thrown that way (like how usually a CB with a lot of tackles is a bad thing)

Aim for 30-ish now and toward 40 next season. My guys are 40+STR/35+TAC now (lv.21-23) and do well.
