Need new dt in a 4-3. Any suggestions
Quote from ecbhowarth >> I think you should keep Randle and change Atkins to a larger DT like Snacks or Kenny Clark or something like that. That primetime performer Dontari Poe looks badass
however I do also think you should look at your scheme, I use 89 Randle and 88 Snacks currently and my run D up the middle is generally giving up less than 5ypc, maybe if they run a lot try checking into some heavier sets or pinch your line and slant inside depending on their tendencies
I was looking at Clark but reading his reviews makes me nervous I may try out snacks and see how he is. Also do u know how much tp it would cost to upgrade him w/o his pt card?
I've been thinking of moving MF Calais Campbell to OOP DT and having him paired up with Randle. I figure Campbell's combination of size, speed, blockshead, and power/finesse will outclass anyone else I put in my 4-3. A lot depends on what gets released for Thanksgiving. If a good 4-3 DT gets added I'll leave Campbell at RE with MF Mack at LE. If a RE gets added for the promo, Campbell goes OOP.

Quote from wesb90 >> I like to have 1 rusher (90 Cox) and 1 run stuffer (92 Snacks). It works well for me. With Mack and Sheard on the edge and tier 4 RS I got some good blockshed going on.
Nice I got mack and sheard as well. I’ll try a run stuffing dt
Quote from DeuceQuattro >> So I would recommend going into practice mode & running your usual plays against the plays that are gashing you & check your run fits - Hold LT & either X or B to check each side. This will show you what the run responsibilities are for each player to each side. You might be taking players out of their run fits if you’re blitzing. Cover 2 is generally good against the outside run because your CBs are the force defenders. Contain blitzes, meta blitzes & most YouTube blitz are very susceptible to the run because they are typically selling out to get heat without regard for what the offense is doing. If you feel strongly that it’s your DTs I would grab at least 1 stout NT type Dt with high strength & blockshed to help clog the middle - Snacks Harrison, Suh, Gauntlet Vita Vea, Dontari Poe, etc.

Quote from DeuceQuattro >> I have PU Suh & PU Randle & my run defense is solid. It might not be just your DTs. What plays are you running usually & where is your opponent running the ball?
Maybe I’ll power up randle but not Atkins that to much money for me

I usually run cover 2 or cover 3 some mixed blitzes and they run up the middle with ease

i currently have 91 randle and 92 Atkins and pple just run all over me. Any suggestions on who are good run stoppers or am I doing something wrong here?
