Warrior General Games

I don't think this is a great build by any means, but I think I have a nice foundation for a RDE. Any thoughts would be appreciated:

Strength: 45.54 Blocking: 18.2
Speed: 46.32 Tackling: 34.42
Agility: 59.46 Throwing: 9
Jumping: 15.58 Catching: 14.54
Stamina: 41.01 Carrying: 10
Vision: 29.72 Kicking: 7
Confidence: 25.73 Punting: 7

1-1-1-1-1 Contain
3-3-5-4-4 Pass Rush

strength should be soft capped by this point.

I'd say stick with shed block for now, get it around 7 or even 8

Where do people come up with this 7 or 8 in shed block?

because most DEs slam into an OT and get stuck there trying to shed the block. so if you're looking at the list of SAs, it's pretty obvious which one people will try raising.

i've got 8 shed block on mine but i have no idea if it actually helps because the replays dont tell me if i got past an OT because of the shed block or some other method.

i'm making new DEs that will focus more on vision in the hopes that they'll avoid slamming into the OT completely but it's still just a guess.

Thanks for the input. Will soft cap strenf next.

Depends on what kind of DE you build. I took the agility and speed route...I run right past the OTs...tunnel Vision seems to be working for me

I only suggested he get it up there because he has it at 5 now, I would never suggest pumping it up to 8 if he only had 2-3 in it. Plus he has the stats required to make it effective. Look at a lot of high performing D Line builds, Ive seen 8's and 9's in shed block in alot of players, so even lower than 24, not uncommon at all.

My DE has 40+ vision, he still slams into the OT. I just changed some things around on him and he does fairly well. I think there are just a set number of plays where no matter what your build or the OT's build you just aren't getting past him.
