I'm not sure agility is that high.

I'm thinking he has very high strength and very high speed.

I'm going to guess 90 strength, 100 speed, 60 agility, 60 vision with SA in first step, change direction, and shed block.

He may be using TV as well.

Consider that he has ALWAYS been a beast. In season 6 he had 93 sacks, 118 hurries, and 142 non-sack tackles, 60(!) of which were TFLs.

His worst game that year featured 2 sacks, 4 hurries, and 7 non-sack tackles.

He only had one blowout game that season and only "padded" his stats by 7 sacks in that game (WEPL had a lot of parity in season 6, apparently).

I mention this, because I can assure you a build such as you describe would have gone nowhere back then. He has to have a build that would logically extend from something that was successful in past seasons.

Like I said, he has been arguably the best DE in the game for quite some time, he just never gets press.

^^ On post above:

This is why I'm thinking that maybe he has had high speed all along and has switched equipment from largely being in agility to strength over the past seasons with the new importance of strength.

Another thing I noticed, he plays a hell of a lot of snaps-
Season 5- 65.5
Season 6- 64.1
Season 7- 69.8
Season 8- 71.8

These are the averages for the last 4 seasons- I mean, I doubt he has stamina over 50 but... if you are going to be that productive for that many snaps... you got to be drinking some strong gatorade

Could be that he has around 80 base speed, 68-70 base agility, 68-70 base strength. Equipment may have been 2:1 speed to agility but is now 2:1 speed to strength.

And WEPL still has a lot of parity. Especially Zeta conference (although he is in Alpha). On a given day the #1 team could potentially lose to the #13 or 14 team. It makes the league quite fun, but at the same time you can never let up during the season.

the reason I say he has high agility as opposed to speed is that agility helps more with shedding blocks and change direction plus with the amount of space a DE plays in he doesn't really a crap ton of speed.

I need help with my DE build as listed in the 1st post,

I feel the berfs and nerfs bave really affected my play. I dont feel as explosive as I once was. Go back and watch my season 1 replays so that you can understand my greatness as a DE. It all started then. Also to the poster somewhere above....I eat gatorade powder straight....no water, too much dilution. The most annoying thing about this game is that I know I should be getting more sacks and hurries. This is were I am going to ask for help. I need help to allocate my last 30 skill points. I called bort about the matter with my lowered production. He stated that I should increase my blocking. He sounded much older than I would have thought being a computer guy. weird...

Edit: I'm a moron... really look at my name. I didn't realize that was the guy who owns the DE we were discussing.

Season 1 was a pretty good season for you. Still in the womb so you couldn't collect stats, but forming into an eventual dominant player.

OMG that was a treat to watch his replays. I think him and A-Roid may have been hangin out.
I am guessing 105/70 (speed/agi) 10 FS, 8 SB, and 8 TV with some blitz.

blitz...why do people always want to tack that on? 3-4 in blitz, you think that's really doing something? you'd be better off taking that 8 SB or TV to 11 with the AEQ imo

Also, no way that build is it since this is everything you said http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=123897

And folks go wild with with blocking...

Gratz on having the best DE in the game, and showing us all that we are a bunch of whiners who just don't know how to build players.

Seriously, it is heartening to know that high performance is indeed possible in today's sim.
