Hey folks,

Here is my current build for my lvl 18 DE.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=371066

I would say he has had a pretty productive season as far as rushing the pasher. The problem I have is that he seems to be neutralized pretty easily. What advice do you have for me? He plays RDE, so hes not a STR build (obviously). Should I keep str/agility close and pump everything into speed and then work first step/quick cut up to 5-7 range?

I am just a bit confused as which stat to pump up higher, speed or agility.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Even though he's a RDE, he still needs some strength.

Looks about the same strength as a lot of the top pro DE's. Some of them have relaly low pass rushing ratings lol. Just really high speed/agility/shed block/tunnel vision.

My strength is significantly lower than yours and I do ok. I'd go with speed as your highest attribute, followed by agility. Put all your equipment on speed. Once you get speed and agility up to 60ish base, put more points into tunnel vision and shed block and work on vision.

A DE on my team has 25+ blocking. No results.Not worth it

Blocking is better for NT's/DT's. It has a small effect, will be worth training when you have nothing else below 20 to train.

First: Good for you for not putting any hard points into Big Sack. I still have nightmares where BIG SACK flashes in neon letters.

Now, I'm a HUGE fan of Agility and recommend you get it to the 3:1 cap soon. I wouldn't pump it past 2:1 without getting your Strength to the 2:1 cap first, but it's the best pass rush STAT imo.

I also like Shed Block and First Step. Tunnel Vision is solid but I pumped it early and haven't really touched it since.
