Plays at RDE. Decent sack numbers the last few seasons, but team was just promoted and we are going to get killed against the run unless we can solidify the RDE position a bit better. So, I was looking into converting him to more of a strength build. He's level 42 but has no lvl 40 EQ yet, so the cost to switch would not be that bad.

Should I try to change him, or is he better off staying as-is?

Stay as is imo.

I don't really think you should switch either. Even if you third capped strength asap, and switched all eq to strength, you'd need to raise agility to about 72 natural. And you wouldn't be very strong, you'd want probably over 100 strength by level 50. All those first step SP would kinda go to waste.

Yeah, I see your point. Here was my plan if I do it. Move Custom EQ into strength and all EQ upgrades from now on into strength. I have an AE piece thats +3 First Step right now and one regular EQ that's +5 speed that I could sell and use find something more suitable for a strength build. So, at the beginning of the regular season, my build would look like this.

Strength:
78.5 (63.5 w/o EQ)
Blocking:
21.58
Speed:
75.5
Tackling:
51.50
Agility:
84.5 (69 w/o EQ)
Throwing:
10.00
Jumping:
26.58
Catching:
8.00

33.58
Carrying:

The guy plays in a 4-3 system, so 100 strength seems a bit much to me, but if I did this I could get strength to the mid 90's by level 50. Still dreaming?

Honestly....The only thing that would help you is maxed shed block...SB isn't just for beating a block to get a sack...It's for beating a block to make a tackle on a run play..Other then that your build is fine.
