Ngata or Merriman???

[jesse_8711]

I have a key decision to decide in my franchise i play 3-4 defense and my team has young potentially good OLB's Ex. Rey Mauluaga and brian orakpo but the DE's arent good overall wise but they are big Ex. Allen Branch and kendall langford...which one of these two players will be more beneficial for my team to re-sign??

OLB's get no sacks and aren't very critical at all in Madden's representation of the 3-4, very incorrectly your front 3 seem far more important than your OLB's.

well i want to keep merriman because it seems as tho he rushes the passer better in certain formations, but then again i know that you can't find any big DE's in the draft with high overalls

I use the Chargers and my sack leaders are always the DE's with the OLB's WAY behind.

One of my OLB's got 10.5 sacks last season, so..

and that was all them. Simmed most of my games, and never used him when I did play a game

Joey Porter, Demarcus Ware, Lamar Woodley, and James Harrison accounted for 65 sacks last year. You can't be serious.

Unless you meant in Madden lol.

Couldn't even mean in Madden...

Harrison averages 1.5 sacks per game for me. One game he ended up with 4, and I never control OLBs or linemen...

Usually my DE always have more sacks then my LBs but when I hired Dick Lebeu as my HC i had rey maualuga have 12.5 and larry english with 10.5 and even james laurinaitis and 6.0
