I plan on making my DE a balanced DE (balanced between speed/agility that is). Anyone have any success with that? Anyone have any success with speed up near 120+? Right now my DE has 91 speed and 68 agility and I plan on putting all the equip into agility for awhile. Am I just being an idiot for not going with the agility build like most DEs?

Balanced can work if it is 95+/95+. Some all speed builds have some success, and really the speed vs. agility build has depended somewhat on season to season. Agility is the in thing this season, but may not be by season 12.

I'm trying something way out there with mine.

I took strength up first, but I'm splitting agility/speed equipment. Currently lvl 20 - 72.5 strength, 70.5 (61.5) agility, 60.5 (51.5) speed. currently training speed/stamina. Going to take agility to 74 cap, then speed to 77 cap, then vision to 61 before assigning any SAs. I plan on agility/speed equip staying evenly split.

Meh not really.
My DE is pretty balanced at about 70/95/95 str/spd/agi and has not been very successfull.
He is playing LDE though this season.

I wonder what would be best. 105 speed 85 agility, 85 speed 105 agility, 95/95, all equip in agility?

I have a sick DE who has 105 agility, 95 speed, and 70 strength. So balanced or thereabouts works.

My Strength DE has been a fun build so far, not a stat-whore, but a very effective team player.
Right now he can be one disruptive SOB.
I am trying to get him to total @$$ level by next season.

My DE is balanced, 70 / 88 / 88.

His SA's are First Step 8 / Change Direction 8 / Shed Block 8 / Tunnel Vision 8.

I also have an avoid fake chance piece of AEQ that is at 14%, not sure if that is helping anything, maybe avoid the Pump Fake SA.

He seems to be doing ok, he has 32 sacks so far this year, albiet not against the best competition.

Last year he faced alot of tough competition and still managed 16 sacks and 76 tackles.

I can't really comment on performance, since my guy plays a ton of special teams ... but just from watching film, I think my 73/88/91 guy (5-5-9-5-1 Rush Tree) could be effective against similarly leveled competition.
