What would be the best thing to start with with a NEW LB. I am new to the LB game, but have been in GLB since season 1. Any opinions? He is a pass coverage LOLB, never blitz really.

Superior Brown Cleats
+1 catching
Make tackle chance +2
Is one of my choices, no good?

Not very good - stockpile BT's and roll later.

Hold out for a superior vision or swat ball SA. maybe %5 interception if you're trying to go that route. But this is definitely not a keeper piece.

it's ok. making tackles is important for LOLB. The catching doesn't help all that much. The best piece is going to be shutdown coverage. 5 points in it is enough to get a huge boost in pass deflecting. SV is hard to get high enough to make a difference and you're not as vulnerable to pump fakes as CBs so it's not important. Swat ball is ok but it's not something you need a piece of AEQ in. Shutdown coverage is best, make tackle and force fumble are probably second best, depending on build, imo.

too bad shutdown coverage got Borted...

Does superior vision AEQ work well at lower levels 1,2,3? I only ask because it would suck if you have to find a of them to make it worth while.

I've heard from numerous people that it didn't have a large impact. Although who knows how well they understand what to look for.

I'm not sure what AE is best (what you rolled certainly is not), but I do think you should stop rolling for a lvl. 5 LB. I'd rather be stockpiling BTs.
