77 spd 77 agi 77 str

and in that order ( spd or agi then str) since as a pass rush archetype speed and agility are majors, str is minor.

Why do people think straightline speed is the most important attribute of a pass rusher? Or any lineman, for that matter?

I actually feel that agility is the most important. speed won't get you around a blocker, it will only get you to the quarterback for sacks.

SPD in GLB does not equate to straight line speed. If you want your player to move fast at all, he needs speed. A pass rusher with no speed isn't going to be good at doing his job.

Pass rushers in GLB need a bunch of speed, agility, and strength along with a good amount of vision.

And what would that pass rusher do when he's engaged by a blocker?

Uh... he would try to shed the block with AGL/STR and once he did he would get to the QB with AGL/SPD. If he doesn't have the speed to get there, though, he's not going to be worth a damn. Almost all pro/WL DEs that I've seen built for pass rushing have 90+ SPD. It's a necessity if you ever want to get to the QB.

But if he doesn't have the agility to take him around the blocker, all the speed in the world will get him nothing. I'm not saying that speed is unimportant, but it's the 2nd most important for a pass rusher.

Whether it's capped first or second doesn't really matter IMO. Equipment will take care of it. Most good DEs I've seen have SPD and AGL nearly even at 100+.

yep. You will want 110 speed, 110 agility, and 85 strength plus 65 vision, and 10+ in first step, shed block, tunnel vision, and 7+ in change direction along with some break block% AEQ.

Is that even possible?

yes. In fact I can look at one right now.

It's definitely possible. My DE will be there soon.
