I'm considering building a DE in which his speed and strength attributes are around 100, while his agility is around 75. Any idea as to whether or not this will work? Thanks.

a team im on is doing this... but with pretty much the entire DL. but the numbers are going to be quite a bit higher than 100/100/75. more along the lines of 145/85/75.

Reaching that will be really easy, especially when you consider AE. Only thing that won't work about it is that it won't be effective.

If you only want your agility to reach 75ish end build, you could get strength/speed up to 125 each (with AE).

Thanks. I've never built a DE before so perhaps my goals were a little poor.

Do you think 125/125/75 strength/speed/agility would be an effective pass rusher?

Just make sure you set your Tactic to "Bullrush" instead of "Evasive"

I wouldn't build a DE with 75 agility. Even if it worked for a season, it would be unlikely to work over the long haul. Builds like that have ended up on the scrap heap more often than not.

High speed with high str and mediocre agility aren't as good as mediocre str high speed/agility. Plus the best S.A's for a pass rusher are Speed/agility related. The str related s.a's for a pass rusher suck. IMO

yeah, having success on a HB with this kind of build is completely irrelevant.

With AEQ in Change direction he could cancel out his losses from 75 AGI, but i think it'd be a great idea, blocks can be broken by STR alone, and 75 AGI isn't too bad.

My next DE will be STR/TAK/SPD

I started building one (combo end) without really looking into it, and my path is going to be strength to 77, speed to 77, agility to 77...sound ok, or go higher on 1 or 2 of them?

sounds good, but you won't be done till level 45-50 just on those 3, so you better have a good training strategy.

yeah, i think i got lvl 46 when i ran it through the builder as when you would get all three of those 77 capped. so if you want a good amount of SAs, then it might be a little tough to round out the build with tackling and vision.
