3 Man Rush Recommendations

I run a heavy zone scheme. Mostly dime 3 Man Rush. Sometimes 4 man rush. I like the 3 Man because I user my sub LB. I have 94 Grant at DT1 whose a big bodied space eater. I'm currently running Bear Alexander at RE which is effective but want to upgrade. I need a big man at RE and LE whose got better speed than Grant (86). Block shed, accel, strength, and impact blocking are the combination of attributes I'm looking for. Versatility to drop into a zone coverage in a disguised 4 man from blitz is a plus but not mandatory.

 In my budget is perhaps Wong at LE but his impact blocking is poor. A budget friendly option would appear to be Bray at LE and Young at RE as they both have the size and versatility. I'm not sure how any of these cards play so any advice is welcome.

im telling you 94 crosby is exaclty what your looking for. 90 speed so higher then what you requested. he stand 6 5" which isnt bad. 91 block shed gets the job done pretty much all the time for me hes great in run defense, 91 accel is pretty damn good,  hes got 93 strength which is good aswell. and 89 impact blocking which doesnt sound crazy good but not many cards have much higher then that. ive had this card since i pulled him a while ago and hes been great. he can absolutely drop into coverage with 85 COD. traits dont look great, but tbh he plays pretty damn good for me and im in the top 0% on head to head. hes a little expensive for his overall but 100k is still pretty decent

Agreed.

Thanks. Might have to try him out then. I compared him to Young and Young has similar attributes for half the price with 91 COD. Young doesn't have traits but does have high motor so I wonder if the COD and price is better bang for your buck.

I like Zion but my problem with him is he only has 80 tgh compared to Crosbys 90 so when I tried him he was dominant the first quarter, helped a little in the run game in the second, and then was non existent the rest of the game, I think he got subbed out from being so wear and teared at some point Which just wasn’t worth it but otherwise zions good if he can stay healthy. Doesn’t even get work horse

I really like Patrick Payton for only 200k coinage. 6'5 250 with monsters under your bed speed. I've yanked him off the line and into pass coverage in the flats/cloud area and snagged a few passes. He also doubles as a 91 ovr LOLB so he moves well in coverage as a user, just doesn't have the ZCV stats for cpu.

Gotcha. Thanks again! I wish I had more understanding of how critical the toughness rating is. I don't put too much stock into it because I tend to run the ball a lot and try to use up as much clock as possible so that my D stays fresh and my opponent has limited possessions.
