For a 100 strength / 100 agility DE?


I've only heard bad things, but the first 3 SOUND good.

Wall and Diving Tackle are 2 of my favorites in the containment tree. My 110+ STR DE has 10 in Wall and 4 in DT, he's to slow for sacks but good against the run. Nothing glamorous but useful.

Wall and Strong Base seem like 2 good options for a LDE. I haven't used wall on my LDE, but I do have it on my strength based DT and like what I see.

OK. I'm going to have 100 str / 100 agi / 80 spd, was curious if I should venture into the containment SAs in my last season or not I'll have 10 break through as well

wall should be great for a lde.

I have seen significant differences in performance of DTs where the only difference in build is 10 wall vs. none, and where their strength is sub-100. The player with Wall was pancaked significantly less and (obviously) made more plays--and the plays he made were higher-quality. A 100/100 LDE should work the same way.

Put another way: I would invest as much in Wall at LDE as you expect a ROT to invest in Get Low (or more, if you expect them to have a strength advantage).
