Which SA tree should I buy for his custom EQ?

Containment

It's pretty self explanatory if you want to stop the run go containment. If you wanna rush the QB go pass rusher.

Both those answers are wrong...

Regardless of being a pass rusher or containment..You want the pass rusher SA's...

You need a good first step, and shed block to stuff the run..Not just to rush the passer.

Agree with TIC. Pass rusher tree is still ultimately more useful.

run stuffing DEs need wall, diving tackle and shed block. Containment:2 Pass Rusher:1... But if you like first step better... Whatever. I think first step is the 3rd most useless SA behind big sack and swat ball. First Step is only nice if you are going for a high speed build, but most people are building str or agility builds.

So you don't think that getting an extra step to try to stuff the run as soon as possible isn't important ? Lol..

Try building a DE without first step, run stuffing OR pass rushing, and see how he does without it.

or he could build a player that takes up blocks so that the linebackers can clean up.. there /could/ be other roles then stat hungered builds

I'm gonna use the pass rushing tree as CE for my 3-4 DE because of the simple fact that I'll want both wall and shed block, and shed block is farther down the tree, so it could effectively mean I need to spend less points there, though if someone were thinking of investing heavily into strong base, I'd go containment.

I don't think you realize the value of diving tackle. First step is all about acceleration if you have a build with 100 str/80 speed/100 agility first step isn't going to do a whole lot. First step is all about getting around your blocker without getting touched. Shed block is the only SA you want in the pass rush tree for a run stuffer.

I have containment planned on my STR based DE.

im saving my flex for a boost instead
