I have a LOT that just leveled up.
I have seen the DE's start to Bounce off of OT's and run around to make the sack using agility.

My last game (play-off) had one bounce & sack on me once, but never again.

If blocking is suppose to allow you to hold them longer wouldn't I want higher blocking or do I need to start pumping agility?

Does anyone have a high agility LOT they can show some plays to how it absolutely works?

Take a look at my guy - where would you put points?
I don't want any "Rookies" offering their non-proven opinions.

Thanks guys.

Well the DEs that are doing well are guys who are quick and Agile so the only way to beat a guy who is quick and agile is to be quick and agile yourself. Problem is if you do that then you neglegt strength and blocking.

I think Shock Block would be the best SA to combat that.

eh.. read the SAs, a few help. Foundation might, too.


30 agility simply wont keep up with a DE with 80 agility. It is that simple. I don't have any plays to prove it, but I stopped giving up those sacks when the DE runs right around my LOT when I got agility into the 40s.

Where's your equipment at?

That's really the information I need to try to help you build.

I'd guess you need more agility.

I have actually had a lot of success neutralizing speed ends with high strength.

If you pancake them and outmuscle them you can wear them down early and they just kind of dissappear.

Get agility to soft cap.

I would take str and blocking up to softcap 2, then focus equipment in one or the other. Prolly strength. My OT with all str equip has played much more consistently then the high blocking guy.

After that, all SP into agility until its softcap.

I wish I could do more for you, but, meh. How often are you getting beaten?

I have 40 agility for my OT and it is pretty effective when they try to speed rush against me.
