Good AEQ? I would prefer blitz or TV SA as a pass rushing DE but this was my best roll in half a season.

It's a good roll if you want to be a different kind of player and invest heavily over your DEs career in jumping/vision/swat ball.

I've even considered doing that recently. I want to be able to disrupt more plays than just the ones I get sacks in.

Yes, I think I am going to do this. Once I 2nd cap agility and cap speed, str and tackling, I will be training jumping/vis/conf til lvl 30. Then I will be the beneficiary of disruption times 10!

Well be careful there. There have been people that have tried to do high jumping + swat ball, and found that they are really swatting the ball down no more often than they were before.

I think this is because in order for swat ball / jumping / vision to be effective in swatting down a pass as a D-lineman... you have to be able to generate pressure first and foremost (makes sense). So work on what you can to generate pressure first (which means you really don't need to cap tackling, for example), and once you feel like you're a sack machine/hurry monster then go for it.

I have been wondering about this tactic too, have either of you heard about d-lineman investing in the long reach VA? I thought that it could be interesting, but I would be surprised if it is worth the investment.
