Your build looks very solid to me. Do you play special teams? As Tempur asks, which pass rushing setting are you using?

I do have 2 more thoughts. The first is that your giving up a lot of strength to their O-linemen. At game end, what is your energy level? Second, It looks like your outleveled in 2/3rds of your games...I'd still expect you to be producing more, but that might be a small part of it.

Yes, he plays special teams. Only thing he's decent at right now.

I could stand to use a little more strength, but I've seen guys around my strength be able to put up big hurry/sack numbers. And I'd hate to start adding more to strength and lose some of my pass rushing approach.

His energy varies, but it's usually low. Could be anywhere from 55 to 14. I know 25 stamina isn't that great; I've been focusing on building up my main attributes that I've totally neglected it since very early in my career.

I know he's a bit outleveld in some games, but I thought he could overcome that with his build. At the very least, he'd do well against gutted/rebuilding teams.

Your build is very solid in my opinion...whatever that is worth. Try this for a couple scrimmage games: 1) taking him off special teams...they are killing your energy 2) playing him only at DT, and 3) pass rushing on evasive....I'd expect that you'd see better production.

Thanks, I'll test those out.

This really has me baffled.

I think I've built a great pass rushing DT, but he hasn't been able to get any pressure on the QB over his career.

Zero hurries and zero sacks this past season; couldn't even do anything against gutted teams.

Granted, he hasn't gotten a ton of PT, but in order for me to feel comfortable in starting him, I need to see that he has some ability to get pressure.

Is there something I'm missing when building a pure pass-rushing DT?

His build is open:

All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your right defensive end sucks. can't attract blockers to absorb some of yours. That's the only thing I can think of. My d.t. build get a lot of pressure and hurries. but he has far less speed. About to bring it to 60 when he boosts 3 times. Other than that I see no reason why you shouldn't be getting pressure.

My RE has been inactive for most of Season Six, but he still has a decent build. Rarely do I see a RE get doubled by a LG and LT, usually just the LT, no matter how good that end is.

And if my DT and RE both suck...

My old DT, who is no longer on the team, tore it up two seasons ago with the same RE as we have now. Granted, his production slowed down a lot in Season Six, but he did better than my DT and had a couple sacks in a playoff game.

We both had similar builds, too.

NO the right end won't get doubled. But the Left guard will back off the D.T. to try to catch the R.E. is he blows past the L.O.T. It gets even more messy if you have a nice R.O.L.B. toying in there as well.You're D.T. is good. Like everyone already said. Try taking him completely off special teams. See is he can be the starter at D.T. and put all equipment in Agility. Switch to evasive pass rush.

my level 24 DT does a great job pass rushing and shedding blocks after I changed equiptment to agility and boosted. id get strength to 70 and stamina to 35+ (stamina will help you the most). Im sure it will help more to get speed up. you do need the strength to not get pushed around after you shed the block.

71.26

Vision + Elusive.

My build is almost identical to yours. I have a little more Agility and my Vision is 50. I registered 32 sacks last year (including playoffs) and finished first in Hurries (112 I think..)

My advice to you is get vision to 48 asap, Stamina to 35+ and Jumping to 25.

Sheesh, I'm sort of surprised that just a little more in vision means the difference between what you were able to do and what I was able to do, or lack thereof.

Did your DT play well against non-gutted teams, too?
