I most definitely think you should be a ROLB. To play MLB, you need great STR, VIS, and AGI to fight off blocks and get to the ball carrier. To play the LOLB position, you need to be the most balanced LB on the team. Having STR, SPD, AGI, and VIS almost equal to each other. Your LB seems more like a 'chase the ball carrier' type LB instead of a 'fight off the block in pursuit to the ball carrier' type. This is only my opinion on the subject, but I think you should get AGI up into the mid 50s before anything else. To be a LB, you need to have great acceleration and lateral quickness. Acceleration is the MOST important attribute of a LB. He needs to be able to read the play and react VERY VERY quickly. Everyone thinks this game is developed SOLELY around SPD, which is very untrue. Save the SPD for the DBs, LBs and DEs need that AGI to help get off the ball quick and make the tackle. LBs and DEs should almost mirror images of one another apart from LBs having more SPD to chase down HBs, while DEs should have more STR to fight off blocks in pursuit to HBs.

Why's that? I've been around since season 1 and I've been building my level 40 LB quite well. We all have different opinions on stuff and that's why people ask about our opinions on these boards. They want different opinions on stuff so they can make their LB unique. And I take back my thing about ROLB. He should be playing either OLB position as teams run to both sides of the field very frequently. Back in the day, runs would ALWAYS go to the left side. That has changed a bit though. All in all, I'm just giving my opinion. Rod Long isn't a God or anything or the PREMIER LB builder. I used to be one of the veteran advice givers back a few seasons ago. I've been busy so I haven't been able to be on as much. Now though, I'm looking to help out as many people as I can.

i'd say either MLB or maybe LOLB. he has plenty of strength and tackling to play MLB. his speed is pretty low, so i definitely wouldn't have him on the right side.
