always talk about pass rushing, has anyone really put together what they think is a great run stopper? And had a lot of tackles? What is your build like? And has used a lot of the run stopping SAs? Thoughts, builds, examples, success stories?

I spent half the season on left and half on the right this year. My DC moved me back and forth with a higher level DE and forced me to build with a focus on the soft capping strategy for str/ ag/ spd w/ SP and train sta/ blk at night. My SA tree is straight ones for both pass rush and containment. That said, I got all my sacks on the left; two hurries on the right; lead the line in tackles and had the 2nd fewest missed tackles for the d-line. A bunch of tackles were run downs from behind, while others were from holding up a tackle/ TE or FB.
This said, I know my league isn't the toughest, but I'm not sure what makes a good/ better build for the left or the right.

Read these threads. I give some of my DE's build out. He plays LDE and run stop as effectively as he pass rush.

What level do you think SAs become more important? And do you favor building up on tree over another or are there specific attributes more valuable than others?

20+ levels is when you need SAs to seperate yourself from other DEs.

Kinda, for favoring one tree over another but I tend to balance it out between the good SAs. I have more pass rush SA but Wall and Strong Base from the containment tree I am high on.

Physical attributes are essential. Agility, strength then speed, IMO is what makes a good LDE.

thanks a bunch...thats one heck of a DE you got going there...nice

i have a balanced build with a bit in the pass rush SA's

STR 65+
AGILITY 65+
SPEED 60+

i started off as a speed DE, but going into this season i put more into strength after noticing getting pancaked a lot in season 3. i worked STR up to second soft cap and then started moving agility up also.

honestly i feel that the best way to determine how to make ur player better, is to watch the replays to see what you can improve on.

i'm a fan of the balanced build instead of pure speed or pure strength because many of my tackles are a result of the speed of my DE getting after a HB pitch or short pass, and if u don't have enough STR you can get pushed around too much by the double teams

Thanks. I've been taking Xuchilles tips and hitting the SA's with my LDE. I agree with the balanced philosophy also.

Hey irishpimp815, its good to see another successful balance DE out there. Us balance guys can be just as effective as those speed, speed, speed DEs

yea, i'm trying to decide if i should invest more in SA's or pump vision for next season (after my 3 boosts)

what do you think?

Up to you. I only have 30+ vision and I seem to do fine. Not sure if more would help but it wouldn't hurt to invest in vision. I would say invest more into SAs since I have a ton in my build and he looks fine.

bump for the LDE crowd.

I'm playing at LDE with a RDE build this season, I seem to be holding my own unless I draw a double team.
