He isn't terrible but 3 sacks in 2 seasons pisses me off. Is his build that bad?

High str. isn't going to help you get sacks. high speed and ag will.

You need a lot more speed in order to get sacks

How many times does it have to be said? Str DEs don't get sacks. The only thing they are better at is run stopping, which is generally a LB job in any case.

This season str DEs have been toned way down, my guess is next season high speed/agility is on the chopping block for next season. I would stay put this season, or maybe move some equipment around if you want to do some testing. Since it looks like your team is out of the playoffs it wouldn't hurt to try moving your equipment to speed or agility, as long as you have the cash. Might see more of a boost if you did agility because it's already at the soft cap and you would see more of a benefit down the road. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I'm not a high strength but I've got equipment and everything in it at 62 and i have 7 sacks. I would go with putting all equipment in strength and soft capping it, seems to be working alright

Gonna have to disagree. May work when in the lower leagues or when playing CPU teams, but not going to get you the numbers you'll want overall. A good dose of strength in addition to speed/agility focus will do nice, but wouldn't continue down that path.

You notice what league you are in? You would be a 0 sack, low impact DE in a decent league.
