Was told to get those 2 first by a few people. I can always reset anything If needed.

Nothing wrong with heavyweight. Brick wall is a terrible choice though....

Bull rush and pocket crusher are both good.

Brick wall or stone wall?

They're both inferior to concrete wall, my personal favorite

Now it's only bull rusher and heavy weight. Should I go power tackler next before pocket crusher?

Wait why Pocket Crusher? It says the bonus applys when pushing Pass blockers back. Implying it only works when the offense is passing not running.

Your DE didn't have a TFL or FF last season, so I'd stay away from Power Tackler for now. Pocket Crusher is a good choice to boost hurries & sacks. Streaky is a good one too but you don't want to put just 1 point there. I'd go with Pocket Crusher now and maybe reset those points to streaky next season (though you might decide to keep pocket crusher).

That's what I was thinking but without custom slots for DEs, I guess getting pocket crusher makes sense.

You get Pocket Crusher because a) no custom slots and b) run stuffing DE's are usually 100% strength based DE's and HAVE to power rush to get any pressure. This key reason is why you would go with any semblance of Pocket Crusher. You could always ignore it and go with WW or something else.

If you're a strength based DE, stone wall is useless as well. If you need stonewall to stay up, you're doing it wrong.

At least that's how I feel. I'm sure someone will chime in and disagree with that last statement.
