You dont know where his eq is. He may not be all str. Even if he is you can still get an MVP.

By building super dots. Guy did it smart by not touching SA's till have last levels. Good work and congrats.
I didn't touch SA's until level 61... was that too soon?
Not sure but this guy proved SA's aren't needed to be successful if you build your dot's attributes well. Everybody has their own system that works fro them.
Darkstrand, would you mind sharing what you've done... or possibly when you retire him would you open him and post it in here... I must know what the difference is. My DE isn't bad, and was pretty proficient as a run stuffer... but he wasn't ever dominant. I just want to know what the difference is between a good Pro DE and a Dominant Pro DE.
When I retire my DE I'll open his build. I think he's been at least a top 30 Pro DE the last 2 seasons. He'll probably be just a solid LDE if Guyana makes WL. He did well against WL teams in Tournament games so that's gotta count for something if he gets to the next level.
Strong Base is legit, and Shed Blocks is pretty necessary as well. CD & TV also are very useful at high levels (i.e. World League), even for a strength-based lineman. It really depends on what role you see him fitting in the long run. Do you want him to generate sacks? Do you want him to be excellent in the run game? Whatever your answers are will determine which SA's you choose.
