At first it seemed DEs just needed a lot of speed to be good at getting sacks, then all of a sudden it was agility and now those builds with a ton of agility are average at best, so my question is this.

I want to just focus on the Speed, Strength and Agility for this question.

Lets say you had 240 points or so to split up between those three catagories. What would be the best way to build you DE to be a sack master.
a)100 AG/70 SP/70 ST
b) 90 AG/80 SP/70 ST
c) 80 AG/80 SP/80 ST
d) 80 AG/70 SP/90 ST
e) something completely different

Am I missing anything here?

Level of play, for starters...and no DE can be terribly effective without any SAs at all (beyond level 30 or so)....I am fairly convinced of that.

Lets just say that if you created 4 DEs with the above 4 choices, meaning all other players have the same vision, blocking, SAs, ect.

What DE would be the best in a USA AAA league. I would think these DEs would be around Level 54 or so...

Hmm...not sure any of those could be effective at level 54. I would probably go with B out of the given choices. perhaps with enough SA power behind him he might do something occasionally

At L54 what would u like to see then? All those stats higher?

80/80/80+heavyweight+pass rusher+EQ in Speed=demon

Depends on which side you're playing on in my opinion.

I'd go with B

I'll beat someone later who'll say, retire them!

It depends on which side and the defensive system. The defensive scheme can effect how good a build is as well.

For instance, with defense I'm running on some teams I want a RDE with 90+ speed, 80+ agility and 40+ jumping willing to load up on zone defender and ball hawk VAs

I really like the 90 strength, 80 agility, 70 speed build for LDE in my defensive schemes. In other defenses it wouldn't be as effective.

100 speed 80 agility 15 ball hawk 15 zone specialist

Drop him into zone in every pass situation.

That will be the most effective DE this season.

Until Bort nerfs the hell out of D-linemen in coverage.

DL nerfs? surely you jest

genius tbh. glad i still have a reset

Id guees c) 80 AG/80 SP/80 ST would be a good run defender and be able to get those screen sacks or tackles.

That's what I'm doing with the RDE. Plus having FS load up on fearsome and blitz him from different angles as the DE drops back into zone.

Don't want to do it with both sides though. A strength/agility based LDE with good speed is still a very effective player, even if he doesn't get a lot of sacks.
