So for INT point of view LBs and CBs are the most important ones? Yep. As I said, Safeties don't really get interceptions, so I'd focus on your LBs and CBs for pick builds. Safeties need to be tackle kings with very high tackle percentages. If the guy gets past the safety, he will usually score, other players don't usually catch up in the game. I remember the first game I watched where my 50 SPD CBs where giving up 80 yard TDs on screen passes to WRs with 35 speed  Last edited on 2017-09-07 03:44:45 by Rock777 |

I have a player in my YA, 50 speed, 45 strength, 23 intel. and 50 TW. Normally i go for high strength first on my DL but i'm thinking of making him a DE, what sort of experiences have other managers had with using similar physicals at DE? Does the speed make up for the strength? Is this how i should have always been doing it?!

This DE of mine has 44.6 Strength, 48.1 Speed, 21.3 INT, 38.7 TW and he's got 39 tackles (9 missed), 14 TFL and 2 Sacks in 7 Elite games this season. Last season in Elite he got 63 tackles (12 missed), 20 TFL, 5 FF and 4 FR in 16 games.

I doubt it. My fastest DE is Prater.
49.2 SPD 50.0 STR 39.4 AGL 47.0 TKL 47.0 FTW 47.0 VIS 40.8 POS 43.5 TMW 38.7 INT 5* EXP He is pretty much useless. Last season he played 953 downs, netting 44 tackles (13 for loss), 1 sack, and 1 FF. Even with his speed, he never leads the team in TFL. And that is with me switching him over to the weak side on occasion... Speed used to be important for DE sacks. But sacks by DEs have been nerfed so much, I don't think there is much point in having a lot of speed at DE. |

Maybe DE TFL success depends on how you play defense? I play to stop the run 1st and foremost, so I use my DL to stop the run and tie up blockers for my LBs so they can get sacks when teams pass. Last season, my top DE led my team in TFL with 32 (4 sacks) through all league games, not including playoffs. My 2nd best had 24 TFL (1 sack) and the 3rd player in my DE rotation had 23 (0 sacks). My best LB, by comparison, had 22 TFL all sacks.
This season my top DE is tied for the lead on my team with my top LB in TFL with 16 through 7 games (1 sack). For season 27 through all official games, my team is 8th in all of RZA (1st in Admirals 1.1) in TFL with 171, 78 of those are sacks so 93 are DL generated. I'm not sure if LBs get TFL that aren't sacks, mine don't. I also never blitz my SFs. |

That is pretty much the same way I play. I suspect most teams play that way.
Although maybe I am misundstanding? I usually call 5-3-3 against runs but frequently call 3-3-4 or 3-3-5 against passing plays. Are you calling 4-4-3 or 4-3-4 against passes? My top TFL guys are all DEs. Its just that Prater has the fewest of all DEs on the team  Last edited on 2017-09-25 13:30:30 by Rock777 |

So someone asks about weaker DEs with 45 Strength but 50 Speed and and now we're talking about a DE with 50 Strength and 49.2 Speed... A great example of a weaker DE...

In regards to defensive strategy I do generally go 3 DL for pass, 4 for run, but if I have a fast DE or two that means I can get pressure with them, leaving the LB's more time in coverage, rather than blitzing, then i might play more 4-3 and 4-4 for passes.
Thanks everyone for the responses so far  Last edited on 2017-09-25 14:38:40 by Jonny Utah |

Its just that Prater has the fewest of all DEs on the team I wasn't really referring to the scheme. I don't always do what's "smart" on defense because my style of play is most important to me. When I said how you play defense, I was thinking about one's team building philosophy. Due to how I want to play, my entire defense is built around my defensive line. it's the reason why I have 16 on my roster currently. I purposefully built my defensive front to be the strength of my team. Not until early this morning did I have a secondary player enter into my top 5 defenders. He was a recent purchase. Without digging into your roster, I can't explain why Prater doesn't perform better. Could it be similar to your previous sacking issue? |

My previous issue was having slow MLBs that dragged down the sack rates of my fast OLBs. Putting faster MLBs on the roster increased the sack rates for my OLBs. It hasn't had any impact on my DEs. Unless you are thinking slow DTs are dragging down the DEs...? That might be the case. Most of my DTs are very slow. |
