I've got a level 58 ROLB with 105 speed and strength in the high 60's. My DC has him set to blitz a lot, but he gets pancaked too many times. Any hints on how to avoid the pancakes? Is it about strength to overcome the blocks or agility to avoid them?

Could be both whats your vision and agility

agility should be 20 points higher. I'd switch some (5-10 points) eq out of speed, it's useless with such low agility.

Depends on how wide you start when you blitz, if you're directly above a lineman then it won't matter what your stats are.

Ditto this..also, BEFORE you rework your eq, check to make sure u are going to have the money and/or ability to get the funds from the owner. Last thing u want to happen is run out of money mid equip changes.

And, someone posted once that agility should be within 20pts of your speed in order to maximize the speed/agility relationship.

Agility is suppose to get u to ur max speed quickly. But, if u are rushing the QB (short bursts) and you have low agility, you may not even be reaching ur max speed for lack of time/distance. Get ur speed down to 96, up ur agility and you may even be able to see the speed difference in future games.
