At MLB? I can understand if the RB breaks through, needing to chase him down, but I wouldn't expect you to need 50 agility.

The MLB is the position that blitzes the most, so having more AGI would mean you get a really good jump on the ball to get to the passer. You need to be able to run both ways, and if you make a wrong read, or the RB cuts back, you'll great AGI to stay with him.

Touche. Didn't quite think of it that way. I guess I was considering how I'd personally use the MLB. I kind of like the blitz coming from the backside OLB with the MLB waiting, ready to pop any middle rush attempt in the mouth.

I guess I'm going to experiment with a beastly "strength" MLB. Can always scrap him and start anew if need be.

Yea. Once the new Defensive interface comes out, we'll be able to select which LBs blitz the most. But as for right now, the MLB blitzes up the gut the most. A STR LB wouldn't be a bad build because he could shed off the blocks easier to get to the QB. But yea, you can alway start over if need be.

Definitely. I'll be getting a team eventually, and would rather bring the heat from the outside, and leave the middle protected. Although, you do bring up a good point. If I get high strength/agility he may be quite impressive as a blitzer, being able to handle his own against FBs and O-Linemen, as well as getting to the QB.

Definite food for thought.

I like my MLB to be able to blitz and cover the pass.

Yea, a lot of people have experimental builds out there right now and this could definitely be another one. Definitely tell me how this works out man, I'm excited to hear it!

Ha me too. Lol I think it's a low enough level where I can start it now. (Level 6 Briggs Finley)

Oh ya, level 6 is definitely a good time start this. Just keep us/me updated with your results. I'd really like to hear how this turns out.

I have heard that the higher your confidence the more effective Defensive General is, anyone have an opinion on this?

I haven't heard that but it definitely makes sense. The more confidence you have in your secondary the better they will perform maybe? I don't know, there's so many mysteries about this game it's ridiculous. I guess that's the fun of it though, haha!

You also have to get through a Center, Guard or FB, high strength plus trained up blocking will greatly increase your chance of getting into the backfield whether it is a pass or run play. A MLB does not have to cover the entire field, if he does your safeties suck, his area of responsibility should be DE to DE from line of scrimmage to 15 yards deep.

That's not always the case. Your LB mainly blitzes, but he should also be able to cover the entire field. Just some food for though, the example MLB build they have on display on the forums. He is only a level higher than my LB, but he also has less strength than I do. This game, due to the way people have built their players, is about AGI and SPD all over the field.

Guess you just have to hit him before he gets going

I would imagine that the hash to sideline would be the DE, CB and OLB territory, though.

Yea, true. I mean. Playmakers make plays all over the field. So, the more area you can cover, the better player you are to become.

Again, speed and agility are the most important. As well as building your field general skill.

Until the nerf wrap up tackle, all those people putting points in strength and tackling are wasting them imo.

If you are on a good team, then you are going to be playing a ton of nickel defense because the opponent is forced to pass to try and catch up, the LOLB is the one who gets subbed out for the extra corner and your MLB ends up covering the TE.

Then there is the blitzing, high speed and agility will get you more sacks then high strength. If you are strong enough to power through an o-lineman right now, then I guarantee you are too slow to get to the QB anyway.

And if you can't get through the center and guards all the speed in the world isn't worth a bucket of warm spit.

Yea exactly. The MLB needs to be just a very solid build and a great LB all-around.
