Hey guys, quick question for my OLB. I'm currently using my SP to raise the stats that any olb needs (speed, agi, vision) However I'm at a crossroads as to what to train on. My decision basically comes down to whether I want to be a pass rush OLB or a coverage LB. So my question is this: Do you team owners out there prefer a pass rusher or a cover OLB? I think both can stop the run equally well.

As a side note, most teams I see run a 4-3 scheme, so a pass rushing OLB seems to have less job opportunities to me.

Open up your build so we can have a look maybe?

As an OLB, you have to make sure that you have pretty decent amount of Speed/Agility/Vision before you think of anything else.

It seems like Cover guys are harder to build, so they are harder to find.

Cover guys probably need a cap or two more vision than a blitzer, blitzers need another cap of strength and maybe a little higher speed than cover guys. Other than that, you cait wait a pretty long time before deciding between the two cuz they are pretty similar. You could probably build one who can be either one by simply moving EQ pieces.

I just looked at your H/W, at 6'5" I would go cover, I like a short bastard for my blitzers.

Haha okay guys thanks
