All equipment is in speed, and he still needs two level 24 pieces.

In general, turning hurries into sacks means you need more speed (get there faster) and more jumping (tackle radius for dives). So training jumping while building speed and agility to 68 is your best bet for that.

Tackling needs to be capped somewhere, though.

edit- looked at the numbers. You also need a better blitz scheme from the DC and more agility to get around the tackle. I'd also recommend an AE in first step, shed block, blitz, or tunnel vision.

I was only on the team for the last 5 games or so. The scheme is pretty good, and I'm getting around the tackle. The problem is the QB gets the ball away a split second before I'm sacking him.

I'll work on speed/agility, will train jumping/vision.

What should I aim for jumping to be?

5 games is good for that, then. Jumping I'd say is more of a training thing (so 30ish as a goal for now). Speed is what you really need (and agility to get to that speed/change directions faster), the jumping just is a little extra touch that can help.

You'd probably do well getting agility up to the 3-1 cap for the maximum benefits of Quick and for breaking blocks if you use evasive tactics. I also believe that the Blitz SA can be pretty handy in augmenting your natural speed and agility, so maybe that would be something you want to look into.

Speed, Agility, Jumping.
A diving tackle can mean the difference between the QB getting it off right before the hit or getting sacked. Plus it helps with pass defense. But definitely need more speed.

Seriously this sounds more like a DC thing than an individual attribute fix.

Well, like I said he's getting 2-3 hurries a game with the new team. He's blitzing him regularly off the right side, and he's regularly pressuring/hurrying the QB. But I need to be faster and quicker to get there.

I'll put my boost points into speed and agility. I'll train jumping like mad. I wasn't planning on doing any SAs and will hold back until I'm in my 30s unless you guys think I should add some.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll work at it.

They were talking about SAs that you get from AE

More Speed, 80s / agility in the 60s is fine; a little more confidence and Training jumping into the mid 20s. Jumping increases your Tackle distance.

Thanks for all the help guys. Will be applying boosts to speed/agility (mainly speed) and training jumping/catching.
