I rolled a +2 Jumping +1 Superior Vision (shirt) and a +1 Shutdown Coverage (gloves) piece for my LV 18 LOLB. I bought them both, but was wondering which one would be best to pair up. This early in his career I should be able to fully upgrade 3 pieces of AEQ for the long haul. Chances are I will jump on the first one to pair up, but was just curious as to peoples thoughts of which is the better piece. Thanks.

I'd say Super Vision unless you rolled another SDC

I don't think it's necessary to pair either. SD coverage is fairly effective at 4-5. SV is more effective @ 7 or 8 than it is at 4 or 5 but for OLB I don't know that it's necessary to get it that high...something that helps tackling/forcing fumbles might be better.

Thanks Darren, I see what you mean. This player I'm building is being built as a coverage guy. By level 30ish, I should have Speed, Vision, and Agility all third capped. I'm not much on the force fumble stuff though. I scout for 2 teams, and I'm seeing a big decline in fumbles across the board, so I don't know if it would be worth it. I have a LV 27 LB with 61 Strength/ 63 Tackling/ 75 speed/ 75 Agility who was slowbuilt for 1 season, and has played on power tackling all season. He has 70+ tackles (1 missed) and only 1 FF all year. I think I will search for a break block % and make tackle piece though. Thanks.

Yea making tackles/general run support should probably be higher priority for a coverage LOLB. If you can't shed & make tackles you can be a liability, even if your build "looks" great on paper.
