I get what you're trying but does it work in the sim now? Rather have a DT that puts pressure on he QB and crushes the pocket and a DT that will grab and slow down a rusher hitting the off tackle and middle.

To me the tackling is the huge problem.

Do this.... look at Alpine and record how well they stopped the run. How many hurries, sacks, tackles, and missed tackles did they give up at DT? Might want to also scout and see how many yards they give up on inside runs and off tackles. Then compare.

I mean the guy you're replacing looks pretty average....but he got the tackles if they actually played him at DT or NT. Just think crushing the pocket and tackling is too important compared to the sacks.

You are about 15 seasons late to this debate....Rage has built quite a few impressive DTs and he's well aware of the things you are talking about.

He's trying to see if a different style of DT can be effective. And more power to him.



The goal here is to maximize what this particular dot is trying to do...and being an excellent tackler isn't on that list.

Just saying as an OC that might be in WL next season i'll be aiming my runs right at that dot.

Great idea. Let me know how that works.
