What is the average yard per rush for the teams you are going against. I think that is one of the better indicators of good NT play. You are not going to be getting nice stats unless you are playing an under leveled oline or against a team that likes to run it up the middle.

Against a bad team we give up under 3 ypc. Against the best running team inour league we gave up 7ypc most games we were between 3 and 4. Middle Linebacker made most of the plays against the up the gut rushes. This guy gets double and triple teamed almost every play and gets pushed back 2 to 3 yards from the line of scrimmage.

NTs arent there to make plays, they are there to boost the d-line with dline gen and to eat up blockers for the LBs to make a play.

too late now, but i would have focused almost completely on the run stuffer tree. Wall and Break Thru are pretty good ones. Other than that just keep working on Strength and Agility, I would say you have more than enough tackling at the moment.

So You guys think I should keep boosting Strength and Agility and get more on the Run Stuffer tree esp Dline general?

I think that the with the DT/NT positions you basically are using raw strength to go up against the o-line. Many of them are getting their strength up to 90+ so I would keep raising strength until you have maxed it out completely (including equipment) and then work on Agility, Speed and Stamina. I would train Confidence (or if you're one of those people who think Blocking is worth it, train that.)

This won't make you a dominant tackler (I don't think that's possible with the current sim) but it should make them double or triple team you which should free up the rest of your line to make plays - not exciting, I admit, but you will be part of a great D-line.
