...To be able to play at power tackling style without missing too many sacks?

80 at least

80-83 plus a make tackle 5% piece of AE helps.

I've had 70 recommended as the lowest with 90 being a bit high. So, 80 sounds about right if you want to both stop the run and pass rush.

Right now, with the de-emphasis on the inside run, it seems more DEs are focused on pass-rushing rather containing the run. Still, I'm building my own DE to do both plus deflect passes. His numbers aren't great, but he is a +3 EL. My original build plan was for a 90 Tackling, but I'm thinking of switching to 80, using the SP to boost another attribute higher. Not sure which one yet.

And when I say his stats aren't great, that's because he's also doubling on Special Teams. He's having his best season so far, but his stats would be much better if he was playing defense only. The energy loss is keeping him out of too many defensive plays.

How high is your DE's jumping? That would have to help with PD's.

Helps with sacks too

Only took it to 48, but I've got Long Reach, Towering Man, and Swat Ball. Long Reach is only until I get AEQ, then it will be reset.

And true, I did forget that a larger tackle radius would translate into more sacks.

Thx for the help guys!
