New DT Options

With all the newish DT options out there just wondering what is working for everyone?

I had used Seymour (0AP D Rally) for a long time but he’s not been keeping up over the past couple of weeks. I tried Dexter Lawrence LTD, Deforest Buckner LTD, and am currently using Jeffery Simmons (Inside Stuff & D Rally 2AP total). Warren Sapp looks good and so does Chris Jones.

In Champs this morning I had a couple of opponents with Chris Jones and he was coming right through my O-line and blowing up the run with Inside Stuff better than anyone I’ve seen this year.

sam adams is basically Chris jones on a budget

That new Warren Sapp is a nightmare to play against. I'm trying to hold off on buying him to see if he gets under 500k after TVPs leave, but it's so tempting to just pull the trigger on him now. Every time I play against that card he absolutely destroys me. 

Right now I'm using Ghosts of Madden Simmons and AKA William Perry. Perry's still okay for the most part, but definitely about time to move off of him. I'm just being a cheapskate with the Sapp card at the moment.

Still using adams but may pick up sapp since hes always good

Glad to hear this! Sapp has been the one that I’ve wanted to try the most. I have been trying not to spend the coins as well. He’s sitting at 600k now and if I can get him around 550k I might just pull the trigger.

I know what you mean about Fridge, I used him a little while back and he was good but just didn’t make a lot of tackles that he should’ve.

I thought about putting Sam Adams back in there but H2H lately I’ve been having trouble against the run and I’m finding that having two Inside Stuffs makes a big difference this year. With only one Inside Stuff he’s getting double teamed the whole game. Therefore I need two DT’s with 1AP Inside Stuff.

With more SP coming I could see the need for it.

For sure, I’ve been seeing a ton of abilities on o-line lately. Not that I’m complaining I run at least one ability on pretty much all 11 guys on each side of the ball.

I just picked up Simmons this morning and he’s been amazing. Had Adams until today before switching to Csonka and he played really well too but his abilities or lack of held him back a bit. Currently I run inside stuff on Simmons and D Rally on Seymour. Might try someone with another 1 AP inside stuff but I’m pretty happy right now.

Just playing today, I’ve come across a lot of people with fully equipped O-Lines or most with abilities

I try to do that as much as possible but with my NMS budget and the cost of certain players with good discounts especially on the O-Line make it tough. Currently I have a free screen protector on my LG and Identifier. I have a decent amount of AP on my WR/TE/QB to try and get the ball out fast which has worked pretty well for me instead of using a ton of stuff on my line. I don’t like to take crazy deep shots or agg catches, just matriculate the ball down the field. I did put protected on the Brady I got and it’s definitely given me a bit more time.

Sam is such a beast

Warren Sapp paired with Simmons and his 0 ap defensive rally has really helped my pass rush Sapp has been extremely good with his UP

Currently using Chris Jones with Inside Stuff + Double Or Nothing and Jeffery Simmons with Defensive Rally + Double Or Nothing (I switch between using 1 DT or 2)

I see that Sapp is a 96 OVR at RE and LE. The thing is I have Bruce Smith and Mario Williams so I'm not sure what to do when it comes to that.

Yeah with only 12AP it’s kinda hard to decide where to put all of it. I try to maximize my 0-1AP discounts to try and get the most out of my AP. I’m not like most players, I put very little AP on my QB and I don’t use HRM much anymore because I’m so used to all of the routes without it.
