Take a look at the league player statistics for sacks in any league using 4.3. We used to have a number of DTs & LBs in the top 30, not any more from what I can see, its all DEs now. The 2 LB blitz plays out of the 43 and Nickel are not as good as they were. Ive got a couple of teams with what used to be very good DTs, now they will become trade bait. Am wondering how using LBs and SS's with good cover skills would work vs LBs that are more speed/pass rush capable. Am going to try that out with one of my teams.
In RL, last season in the NFL only one person listed as a DT was in the top 30 in sacks. However, there were a number of OLBs listed in the top 30. IN MFN-75, there are 3 DTs in the top 30 part way through the season. NO LBs, but one CB(!?). It would appear that blitzing LBs is no longer very productive against the pass.
