(Shutdown) Best Outside Linebacker In The Game? (Weekly Positional Poll Season 2 - #9)

Shutdown to avoid future unnecessary referencing/bumping

Def Charles Haley. Outside linebacker is not a very strong position in the game right now compared to everything else

Bump :)

Updated with TA Za'Darius Smith :)

Derrick johnson oop is no doubt the goat.

I've seen a lot of good reviews for Haley. I haven't used him yet, but his cards always played well for me in the past. Kevin Greene is still my most consistent OLB pass rusher and it's not even close.

I have both. Greene was my starter for a bit. Haley is head and shoulders better. Give him a try (unless you run a TT with  Greene and don't want to replace him). Haley may be the best defensive player in Madden.

Sochi, I think maybe you have to split this into 2 categories....one for 4-3 style LBs and one for pass rushing LBs. In a 4-3 Rod Martin is the best OLB. Even better than LTD Derrick Brooks.  His coverage ratings, abilities, traits plus his play against the run is unmatched IMO.

However if you are talking about a pass rushing OLB, it's Charles Haley hands down. best ability stack, best ratings, traits, and there's that exra something coded into the card

I'm still running legends for the time being, but I'm waiting until this weekend to make additional upgrades. Haley is definitely on my list of upgrades at the moment.

Bump :))
