Warrior General Games

Im gonna be slowbuilding one next season and was wondering if anyone had build experience with a dot different from the usual speed-freak. I understand hgt and wgt will figure in game performance - Bort says so... Any advice regarding equip, VAs would be cool too.

Go all strength in equip. Go strength... then agility... THEN speed.

My current VA's are heavyweight and workout warrior.

Not sure what VAs I'll focus on though.

If you want a run stuffer I would focus on the big 3 for run stuffers. - strength, agility, vision..

I would cap speed at 48 tops TBQH. My strength build DE would look like this

110 strength
110 agility
70 + vision.

10 FS
10 SB

By the time it's all said and done.

Strength and agility are going to help you beat your blocker...Vision is going to help you get a jump off the snap, stiff out the run play and beat your blocker...And make a play

10 FS will again help you get off the ball quickly and SB will help you beat your blocker.

I've got a strength DE right now playing LDE in a 3-4 and he's a beast. If paired with a solid NT, you can shut inside runs to the right down all day long.

This is what I would do:

-3rd cap strength
-3rd cap agility
-3rd cap speed
-2nd cap vision
-2nd cap tackling

-DEs have some great SAs, I would go with something like:

Containment: 4-8-8-6-6
Pass Rusher: 8-8-8-8-0

-For equipment, I would go 3 pieces strength, 1 agility

-For VAs, Heavyweight is an absolute must. JTS is solid. Some Football Genius would multiply your vision some too. Right now it is hard to get a good pass rush from a strength DE. Will Bort change that, who knows, that is why I didn't include pass rusher on this list

Id 4th cap str and agi.

I would

3rd cap strength
4th cap agility
4th cap speed

natural strength and agility would end up about even

I would put 1 piece of equipment in speed, 1 piece in agility and the rest in strength.

Im not worried about pass rush much. Dropping into shallow coverage for OLB switch blitzes would be more my thing, I think, and blowing up backfields, of COURSE Good stuff there, guys, thanks... keep it coming.
