Second one

What kind of DE's do you prefer. Do you prefer run stoppers or pass rushers? If you like the run stoppers, use the first. If you prefer pass rushers, use 2. Personally, I'd use the second one. I tend to play as LDE and rush the QB. I'm pretty successful at that.

The RE is the one that got hurt and my linebackers are pretty good run stoppers so I guess I am looking for the better pass rusher.
Mostly I was wondering if there was a clear cut better DE out of the two since I have no idea which ratings are the most important.

[nwfdwill]

If your LB's are good run stoppers, I'd def go for option B. If for nothing else, the 90 in acceleration will make a big difference. A good bit of the other attributes that are better for option A aren't too huge of a diff. I could see this second option really looks like he could really have some potential, IMO.

I start Morris all the way. He'd be capable of getting some sacks without much help, depending on how good a team you're playing against.

You may need some help stopping the run, but Morris is going to be significantly better at the pass rush than Jackson (and against the run, I think they'd be about even, with a slight edge to Jackson).

Alrighty, I took the advice to plug in Morris against Akron which was a C- offense team in year 3, and he got 3 solo tackles 1 assisted tackle and 1 tackle for a loss which I will definitely take considering he is a backup. Thanks for the advice! I seriously had no clue which was better

I would start Jackson. I like his awr, tckl, strnght, etc. over the other guy.
