What stats do you think a NT need to best handle poerbacks?

My build:
Strength:102.52 Blocking:29.87
Speed:41.51 Tackling:65.66
Agility:64.03 Throwing:9
Jumping:22 Catching:8
Stamina:46.8 Carrying:10
Vision:51.07 Kicking:9
Confidence:33.61 Punting:7

Pass Rusher Abilities
2-4-0-0-0
Run Stuffer Abilities
6-5-5-5-7

Is it good or what do I need to change?

What you'll need is a good middle linebacker.

I think you have a good NT build though. I'd up the agility a bit.

Theres not much you can do but make a good NT to stop powerbacks. I have a similar NT and I always hear more agility. I'm working on more DLGeneral at the moment and more break thru. I doubt you're getting pancaked very much but confidence might help.

The best attributes to increase for stopping runners is more jumping and tackling so you have a larger tackling radius. From watching my guy perform, the best way to stop a run as a NT is to get past the Center immediately and make the tackle in the backfield. The best way to that is probably break thru, a lot of strength, and a little luck.

There is a VA that helps as well, I forget what it is. Also, I totally agree with the High Confidence and Dline General. I really believe that is a very underrated combo that most NT's ignore. That combo helps the entire line make plays and make them all game long.

Brickwall. But you have to make the tackle first- which I guess isn't a problem with your build. Think is, you NT usually is just occupying blockers to allow your LBs come free on the ball carrier. If you fail to stand your ground against 2 blockers or the LBs have screwed builds, the Powerback wins.
