with strength and agility that high I wouldnt believe someone would block him out of the play. by the time the RB gets past the D-Line he will be in great position to make a play. If he doesn't go up the middle thats where the OLB's come in.

I'm just saying that in 3rd down situations and runs up the middle i believe a middle linebacker with great strength can blow up the O-Line moving it back or can stop a RB for short yardage.

How often do you see a DT not be blocked? If someone gets to you, you're stuck 80% of the time.

DT's are double teamed a lot but can still get tackles when being blocked...The whole thing is about tackling.

Lets see a build and we will see...

a LB moving the Oline back. Not even if the LB was 10 levels higher.

Although the original idea was not a good one, it is worth reiterating that if the rest of the team has good speed and your scheme is good, a MLB does not need 90 speed. You could do pretty well with 70 imo.

A MLB is more of a jack of all trades. He stuffs the the run and drops back in pass coverage. With enough speed and agility it can counter act a lack of high strength.

60 speed is too slow. But 90 is not necessary.

i highly doubt it.....


Not unless Bort puts the code back how it was at the start of season 7 were strength was actually a factor.


Your middle Linebacker is going to WEAKER and Smaller then 90% of the interior linemen you face game in and game out.... Worst off he is going to be one dimensional and cost you dearly in pass protection.

he is going to be a slow blitzer with little hope of finding away threw the line fast enough to matter on passing downs.



on a personal Note... I have done a 65 speed 70 agility 80 vision mlber in the 3-4 ....he was ok at the run, but he SUCKED against the pass....

So I suspect your build will have major problems as a down in and down out linebacker.

but has anyone actually tried building a 90 strength/80 agility/60+ tackling LB ?

Not this exactly, but I have a MLB with strength/tackle as his main attributes. Both are at 60 cap already and speed and agility 48 with vision coming next. He only "missed" one tackle all last season and that was a bare miss on a juke. At level 39, he'll have (unequipped) 70 strength & tackle and 62 speed, vision, and agility. Then, I'll start putting on the hard hitter tree to see if those SAs actually work once you get high enough base attributes. Idea is more Ray Lewis than a DT. No reason Ray Lewis shouldn't be as effective as Urlacher if the sim worked right.
