Do a fair amount of blitzing with my ROLB and really need help placing my just-reset VA's.

I have AEQ that also adds a 21% break block chance and a 23% make tackle chance. As noted, I have settled on 15 in Pass Rusher but am befuddled as to where else to go.

I considered Technique Man, especially with the existing break block chance AEQ, but fear that against either LOT or a HB in pass-blocking that he would not have the "must have 10% greater agility" factor.

I could consider heavyweight but don't feel my strength is really high enough to reverse-pancake anyone. Although I wonder if my break block chance AEQ would give me a greater chance for heavyweight to activate. I guess it depends on whether I get a power back HB blocking me?

I can't do Bull Rusher because he doesn't weigh enough!

It doesn't have to be pass-rushing specific. I guess I can go Power Tackler and/or Sure Tackler, but that seems boring. I suppose I could go track star and/or quick too for that matter.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated.

Ball Hawk is a must to all 2nd D IMO.

I don't think there are any VAs that can really help linebackers blitz, other than attribute bonuses.

I think JTS can be good although it's irritating that Bort won't tell how close "close" is to the line of scrimmage. I've just been putting mine all the way onto the line for blitzing purposes.
