I trust peatrick. Probably just scheme.

He claims domination from his right side,where in my scheme the left side de dominates. He rushes 3 while i rush 4-5 depending on my defensive read. It sounds crazy but having the exact correct placement of players at certain positions makes a big difference. IE. I run barno-karlaftis-poe-ware in one setup...if i rearrange ware to the opposite side and swap the dts positions ill get completely different results. So yeah kinda comes down to scheme and placement of players.

Weird that people can have such vastly different experiences with the same card.  So much random, inconsistent nonsense with this bad game.  I had this stack; Colossus, Speedster, Unpredictable and Inside Stuff, for a total of 4AP.

Colossus is objectively superior to Unstoppable Force, i don't think that's up for debate.  0AP Inside Stuff is better than 1AP Inside Stuff... kinda see where i'm going with this?  My Von Miller has been explosive, he's into the backfield on both run and pass plays, soaking up (and often splitting right through) double teams.  His stats are nowhere near as impactful as Barno, but still enough of an upgrade over Poe (at a fraction of the cost) for me to make the switch.  Glad George is working out so well for you guys, although i'm not sure 6 games is large enough sample size to feel confident about anything... but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Take the money and run, you'll never regret having coins.

In any type of Solo Challenges, Von doesn't have a chance to pad his stats, because Barno is there on 3 out of three downs to sack the QB before they can even get a play off.  He's so nasty, especially coming off the right edge (left of screen) which seems to be the dominant side for pass rush this year.

I got same results.

I guess that's not THAT unreasonable, seeing as I have 9AP invested between Von and Jenkins. Keeping Urlacher would be a far cheaper way to get both SUBLBs with Avalanche + Enforcer Supreme combo, but I'm spoiled and want 99 SPD users to choose from. Urlacher is fantastic, but he kind of lumbers around the field and I'm not always as decisive as I need to be with my cuts, I'm starting and stopping and changing directions constantly as I chase people around, especially in Squads play where things get crazy. 

There is a Vita Vea coming Monday, I think, so either sell late tonight or plan to hold through midweek. Unless you need the coins, I've made my preference clear. YMMV, but in my head it's as simple as Colossus > UF.

Is it 1M coins better? That, I'm not so sure. But it's objectively superior.

He plays just like karlaftis...just lower speed but cheaper ap. Im running 45/20

Eagles/chiefs and have the extra ap to spare on george.

I've been using Sack Sieler for the 3AP UF since he came out. Do we still think Karlaftis is better at DT?

Curious what stack you're running on Barno? I have him at RE & RRE, he's far and away my most productive player, using 1AP stack; UF, DoN + ET & Relentless... plus No Outsiders, of course. 

Hunter has made a few impressive strip sacks to win me some close games, plus he boosts Von +1 SPD (and all LEs) but he's a weird card. I'd at least try Von for today and see what you think, then list him before bed for profit if you prefer to stick with George. 

The additional 0AP Inside Stuff would definitely influence my own decision, but we've got tons of AP on both sides of the ball now. I went bonkers, putting 5AP stack on my SUBLB2 after pulling BND Sean Taylor from 91+ packs, allowing me to bring Jenkins down into the box full time.

Do you have at least one Colossus on your D-line? Most pass rush abilities aren't worth the AP investment this year. Yes, I've used George K. at DT, although I played him at the edge more often, opposite DeMarcus Ware, with Reggie White at DT during Superbowl era.

If you're sending 4 pass rushers, perhaps your existing arrangement works for you, but I'm generating elite pressure sending just three and constantly dropping 8 into coverage. This is only feasible if you have at least one Colossus to soak up the double teams, ensuring edge rushers have a foot race to the QB for a sack / pressure.

My squad is pretty decent. I test most new top end cards that drop, but only certain ones actually make the squad, let alone see playing time. Von is best DT currently in-game, IMO. I've tried to find better.

100% Von Miller, no question. It's as simple as Colossus being superior to Unstoppable Force, as it also works against double teams. I'm using Barno & Hunter off the edge, both with UF, then Von at DT with Colossus. The smaller player models tend to perform a bit better from the interior, as they can squeeze through gaps that big bois typically get hung up on. 

I've kind of tested most DTs, within reason, including Poe (2AP Colossus, cycles all game), Chris Jones, Dexter Lawrence, even Javon Hargrave, just can't justify 4M coins on a DT2 and nothing compares with Colossus. It's the best pass rush ability in the entire game.

George K. was very good for a very long time, both interior and edge rusher, but I replaced him in favor of 0AP UF and never looked back. My edge rushers are 97 & 99 SPD with UF and No Outsiders, as defending the run game can be annoying if someone is committed to it. 

Probably going to keep using boosted Arik Armstead at DT2, although he's OOP.

I used Von as a DT when he came out. Dude was a ghost most of the time and that's on a Broncos TT.
