Tackling? Agility? Strength? Vision?

I haven't boosted him yet this season.

That's a very solid build. The only attribute lacking at that level right now as I see is Confidence. That's getting more and more important and you might check with a GM and see where your morale is ending up by the end of the game.

Is he used primarily as a blitzing, pass defense, run stop?

Jumping is pretty useful for your tackle radius (diving tackles) and defending the pass, I would train that up as well...

what are his speed and agility without eq?

This guy is designed as a pass rusher though he's been used in pass coverage as well.

His natural speed is 69+ and natural agility is 62+

I got lucky early on with two very nice AEQ rolls. +3 speed, Superior Vision and +3 Agility Tunnel Vision. Haven't been able to get a decent roll since.

Thanks for the input guys.

There's a "Blitz" AEQ piece out there that I've found pretty helpful. Although that Super Vision is good for pass coverage...

I took my ROLB speed to the 4th soft cap...

hmmm 4th cap would be a good idea. I could also shift some equipment around and move 5 equipment points to Speed.

Wondering if Shed Blocks and confidence might be a better use of the SPs at this point though.

I'd really like to find a blitz piece but, as I said, I can't find jack worth buying these days.

I'd get agility and vision to third cap. Fourth capped speed is too rich for my blood. If you want more speed, I'd shift EQ. The build looks similar to my LB, but mine has no SA's and has more AGI, STA and CON.

I probably should have waited on the SAs but we were trying to win early. Even so, I've only spend 10-14 SPs on them. most of my SAs come from equipment.

thanks again for the input guys.

Naturally:
Agility to 68
Tackling to 61
Keep training Jumping and Confidence (you could figure out the best combos for yourself)

Other thoughts after the above is completed:
Vision to 68
Shed Block (up to 5-7)
Monster Hit (up to 5-6)
Diving Tackle (up to 4-5)

AEQ to look for:
Monster Hit
Blitz
Shed Block
Wrap Up Tackle (don't laugh, use this as a boost to your tackling)
