So I started off as a DT, but was moved to NT because my build was better than our NT's was and they wanted me to play NT. Looking back I wish I had stayed as a DT because I'd be a beast. But... now I'm a pretty decent NT. So I've been noticing on pass plays, I get triple and quad teamed a lot, and I can break the team blocks sometimes but the problem is that often when that happens it jiggles me on my way to a single block on the edge of the wall of blockers. I have 1-2-1-2-0 in pass rush SA's (from when I was DT). My str/agi are both good (green pass rush/tackle bars). So I was thinking, since I can break those team blocks but suck at breaking single blocks most of hte time, maybe next level I'll turn my pass rush tree into 1-2-2-4-0 so when I break those team blocks I can man handle the single block with my high strength before the other blockers are back onto me. I got a feeling that this would be more effective than putting more points on Shed Block (which I think is more agility oriented).

Thoughts? Rebuddles?

Sounds interesting. I have a level 20 NT that is pretty good at getting pressure. He has 2 sacks and 7 hurries and only has 1 point in glare and 2 points in shed block. If this helps get more pressure, I may have to look into adding to the pass rush tree later on.

My NT I have with 70+ strength (never got moved, but never moved much either) but suddenly when I got my agility from 30 to 48ish he suddenly started getting to the QB (2 sacks and a few hurries recently). Think it's you get off blocks with strength but you need the acceleration from Agility to get past a defender and not get "reblocked" i guess

I have good agility. Its no where near my strength by any means because I have custom gear/equip bonuses all to strength.

In terms of attributes, NTs should have generally the same build as DT's. The difference is the SA's. Until you have 6 or 7 in d-line general, I wouldn't mess with the pass rush SA's, otherwise you are doing a disservice to your teammates.

Sounds like you and me are the same basically
