Thanks for all the feedback. I now have a good heading and some solid advice for another OT on the team.

Needs more STR.
Whether folks want to admit it or now....STR is a hugely important for an OT, it does a few things.
#1 - If you are a LOT strong than the DE - pancakes which will kill that DEs morale/stamina by the second Q.
#2 - If you are moderately stronger, you'll slowly drain his morale/stamina making him worthless in the second half
#3 - If you are even, you prevent yourself from losing morale/stamina playing against a stronger guy.
#4 - If it's three seasons down the road and bull rushing 90 STR DE's become the rage, you haven't borked yourself completely by ignoring STR.

just an equipment adjustment away. Very few DEs have over 65 strength now anyway. However, you are probably right. 75 strength would be good. However, that is doable with 90 blocking and 60 agility at level 40 anyway. Those numbers above are more minimums to shoot for rather than ideal numbers.
