Warrior General Games

Use to be good, led his league in sacks a couple seasons ago. Last season was painful though. I didnt switch leagues or switch equip or anything like that so whats the problem?

For Aaron Smithhh: really a great build. confidence is a bit low and there's rumors Bort's new nerf has a demand for confidence to counter DE owners neglect.

Also, First Step is a bit low, I'm surprise you did well with only 3 SA on First Step. Usually the recommendation is... well... 10. Same for Tunnel Vision.

Despite some less informed folks in here but Wall and Strong Base do help you get sacks, especially Strong Base. Up them.

Finally, keep piling up Heavy Weight as you are doing with VA.

The same applies to Chucky Soup

for this build, with really high agility and low speed, do you really think first step matters that much?

I would have guessed more speed. When I look at these forums and see people asking why their DE isn't getting sacks.. and compare it to people posting their builds of successful DE's... there seems to be a sweet spot around 80 speed.

looks good....

just needs a little more speed and FS, SB and TV SAs should be 8-10

I am assuming he would up his spd, and which that would mean First Step needs to be up.

your stats are pretty much what I'd have expected from your build last season, you got a lot of tackles. Unless you are playing gutted or CPU teams, which it seems you didn't, that's pretty normal.

One thing I've seen is over the past seasons QBs with higher vision are better at spotting DEs that get by their blocker and often get the ball out faster. You might want to go over your replays and see what isn't going well.

Right off you need to check:
1 - Am I getting by the blocker or not? if not why?
2 - Am I getting to the QB fast enough? if not why?

I expect you lack the speed to get to the QB fast enough, but I mean who did in season 8?

You might want to try switching to Combo pass rushing if you're not getting by the blocker. If they're stopping you I expect their speed and agility are pretty high so you might be able to counter with your strength.

About 30 more speed in each would work

Just retire them, use their FP's to start slowbuild DE"s that will be ebtter than they are now at level 40.

Oh and don't buy any more flex, this game sucks

stop being a steelers fan... should instantly work.
