Where do you think a player's strength, speed, and agility should be at the pinnacle of his build if he wants to be a player that gets a lot of sacks?

Examples would be most appreciated.

Agility is first.....but I don't know about the other two. I would think strength, but I don't know for sure.

Is 80 strength good enough?? What should speed be?

I'd go +6 custom in speed, and the rest in agility, or bring str up to 90 maybe and the rest in agility. You want at least 20 in agility so it goes over 100. IMHO.

How about vision? Does that factor in or is it a first cap and then leave it stat? Thanks.

7:8:10 is probably closer to the truth.

It's not really a ratio imo. You want at least 20 more agility than the best linemen you'll face, 30 more on average. You need 75 to 80 speed total. And you want minimum 80 strength, or you want to be within 25 or 20 strength of most of the guards you'll line up against. If you figure most guards will be 110 strength and 75 agility, you want 85 strength and 105 agility to be moderately effective, anything more than that will hep you be a standout type player, or effective in the highest leagues.

Also this. Ratios are pretty meaningless

Hmm, my DE doesn't meet any of these benchmarks.

I'm talking about DTs, not DEs. I've never built a DE.

I get lined up very often between the guard and tackle. High agility lets you go right between them.
