What is the difference in physical skills between DL, LB, SF and CB. Probably DL has to be stronger than others, but in other aspects
LB - more all-rounded player with the best INT in defence
What is your opinion, guys?

LB are the allrounder who need Intelligence Speed, Strenght, Tackling, Positioning, Vision and Footwork and Agility might be usefull. I prefer strong MLB and fast OLB.

The DL need less intelligence but teamwork could be usefull. Tackles need good Strenght, Tackling, Footwork and Vision could be useful. DE need nearly the same skills, but more Vision, Speed and Agility could be useful for blitzing.

For FS and CBs is Speed very important. Also Tackling, Vision. Positioning could be usefull. The SS should be fast but must have also strenght to stop the run. Intelligence is for SF more important than for CBs.

I guess it depends on what you want from each player... my estimates are:

Strength - better at making tackles
Speed - better at catching players
Speed - improved blitzing

So whereas a big strong DL might be good at stuffing runners, if they don't have some speed they won't get to the QB. A strong LB might be great at defending the run. but without speed he will be burned by receivers. If an RB gets into the open field, a quick CB/SF might be able to reach him easily, but without strength the RB could run straight over him.....

Im putting my top int guys on defence even if its a DL, LB, CB or SF. But in my eyes CB need the INT least.

*DL - High speed and high str, i value speed higher here due to blitz

*LB - High speed and high str, and as opposit as the DL i value str higher then speed here

*CB - fastest player on my team will play here. dont care at all for str

*SF - Fast player but not as fast as CB, i would also like these players to have str, especially if they play SS.

I will only use agi on DL and players that is able to create sacks. (MLB and SF)

Agility for a cb would be helpful for cutting and keeping up with wr's when they cut.

I was going to make a thread for defense as I did for offense, but here one is...

My minimum for what I want these positions to look like at the end...

DT: Strength 45+
Agility 30+
Tackling 40+
Footwork 25+
Vision 20+
Teamwork 30+

DE: Strength 40+
Speed 35+
Agility 35+
The rest same as DT

MLB: Int 45+
Strength/Speed 40+ each
Agility 30+
Vision 30+
Tackling 40+

OLB: Same as MLB but not so smart. lol

CB: Speed 40+
Strength 30+
Agility 30+
Tackling 30+
Catching 25+
Vision 25+


SF: Same as CB but smarter and higher tackling/strength

POS for all 30+
