i like the theory behind going slightly less silly with agility, so you can have more strength. if you say you could get 15 strength for 10 agility (nothing exact here, just throwing out numbers that could be in the right ballpark.. DE, kinda taking numbers from here
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2985837&page=last#25892851), what would you rather have?
+15 strength, + 15 pass rusher
(88spd, 95agi, 69str, 15 pass rusher... which is 88/95/69 on 1st/2nd/running, and 88/111/89 for those 5-10 plays, numbers include equip)
or
+10 agility, + 15 quick
(88spd, 105agi, 54str, 15 quick... which we can call 88/109/54 all the time)
if you forget the plays where pass rusher is active (or supposedly active)... in this scenario it's trading 15 strength for 15 agility. the agility guy will rush the passer more effictively on 1st/2nd... who plays the run better is probably a push, or at least hard to argue based on how the DC is using them, etc. then you have the "pass rusher" plays... where it should be a huge difference.
i wouldn't be suprised if pass rusher didn't work... because it sounds like it should be pretty noticeable (on those plays). net, i think (in theory only) that you can make a fair argument for either route.
