I will arbitrarily say, "over 70." That seems like it is a lot higher than the flavor du jour for DEs, and leaves room to be a good bit higher even

A couple of DEs that rely on high strength for their effectiveness:

(not mine and I don't know his exact build, but I assure you he has high strength)


Strong base is not a high yield SA right now, I won't argue against that for a moment. The key is that strength does very little on it's own, and the same is true for strong base. You need more pieces to the puzzle...but when it comes to together strength is very solid.

But if your expectation of strong base and high strength is to have that sole combination just push the player in front of you out of the way....you are right, it won't do that, even with 110 strength.

Agreed. IMO strength has its purpose in pass rushing, but it's a tertiary attribute for my DE.
