I love my players build up to this point... but just thought I'd hear some ideas where to go now. Should I stay on high SPEED/AGILITY (which is expensive) or fill out other areas?


Strength:50.49 Blocking:18.28
Speed:103.28 Tackling:44.96
Agility:70.06 Throwing:8
Jumping:29.03 Catching:26.74
Stamina:35.64 Carrying:8
Vision:52.19 Kicking:10
Confidence:25.18 Punting:9


Current Bonuses
Attribute Bonus
Speed +10.4
Agility +4.2

You must address tackling to 55 if you want to be effective against power backs. Your vision is the reason your INTs have decreased the last few seasons.

Vision, Catching, Jumping, Stamina, Confidence and likely SAs.

thanks both of you.... sounds like i need to lay off speed/agility.

rod, your comment on vision is interesting. i figured lack of int's was low jumping/catching. how much vision would you recommend.... 2nd cap?

You've overdone speed probably. You're woefully low on tackling, vision, and confidence, and strength and jumping need to be higher as well.

At second look it looks like you belong in a 3-4 as the ROLB. Your vision, jumping, catching etc lack for a coverage guy.

Vision should be your top priority.

vision to 60

train jumping up

and as a LOLB i would recommend splitting equipment up between agility and speed more evenly ... i find it more beneficial to coverage ... and more agility just being more helpful as a LB

All great stuff guys... no doubt seems everybody agrees I need more VISION. I've been training JUMPING for awhile and will continue to do so.

The VISION suprised me... I heard somebody else claim low VISION hasn't affected his other builds and thought mine was perhaps too high. So I'm glad I asked for your input... Thanks again!!

He has no problems in pass coverage whatsover... I think it's his high speed (cause he's dominated TE's for several seasons when he had lower agility). I actually focus him to play the run... otherwise it appears he hesitates. He recovers no problem against TE's... and usually reacts so fast to knock down passes to other WR's (often reacting and leaving his TE way before the ball is thrown... which is odd to me). I just don't get INT's anymore.

We have other higher agility LB's on the team... but they are nowhere in the same class. But I understand your point about agility. I spent all my boost points getting it from 1st to 4th cap and it made a big difference!

FINAL QUESTION: What attributes would help him the most to get off blocks on outside running??

generally speaking, i'd try to shift the EQ from SPD to AGI. i'd prefer something more like 93/80. i like where it's at though too. i'm a whore for SPD.

imo, the added agility would help you with getting off/avoiding blocks too.

I really like the speed and agility, actually. It'll serve you well once you get your vision and jumping a little higher. Strength/tackling is a little low, but I still think it's adequate for most purposes. Even vision doesn't seem like that big of a deal... It's low, but you'll be fine when you get it to 60. Stamina seems a little low for such a high energy usage position, but that isn't a huge deal either. Jumping will help you a lot if you're playing coverage, too.

well i hope you have a team owner who trusts you, and has a flare for experimentation with equip (i'm lucky in that area i suppose) so you can test agility equip out ... i mean.. it's not only for the good of your player ... but for the good of the team...

I also hope you have a team owner who doesn't mind you getting burned by 120+ speed TEs.
