Best D Tackles?

Are there a one or two players you're running at DT that are head and shoulders above the others?

Does it matter if you're running 4-3 or 3-4?

Or are you playing one of the ends OOP. Gastineau, White, Vanden Bosch maybe?

I have booger and vanden bosch at dt when I run 4-4 but booger has gotten the most pressure for me in dime 2-3. And at 85 spd (TT) he doesn’t get out ran in the backfield.

I've been shuffling players around most of the year, especially running DEs (OOP) at DT.  However, as of just recently, i've settled on DeForest Buckner (for 49ers TT) and he's played MUCH better than i initially anticipated.  I doubt he's anywhere near as good as Booger's AKA card, but really a lot of the D-line choices depend on your entire philosophy.  Do you want to catch interceptions, or put your 5AP into pass rush abilities?  I prefer the former, so my AP are invested into either Pick or LurkArtist.

I've seen a lot of Comp players running Gastineau at DT, using his 1AP Double or Nothing ability.  If you're looking for a budget beast, i've been running this Leonard Williams at DT2, he's got perfect traits, in the sense that he ONLY has the "Bull Rush" move on, so that means only the 90 PMV is relevant and he won't ever use the low FMV, making him an ideal card, as far as pass rush traits.  Beyond that, any of the cards you mentioned are fantastic options, especially now that we can get Van Den Bosch fully maxed at 91 OVR.  I finally added 20/30 Detroit Lions and letting him go nuts off the edge (at RE) with that elite 95 ACC.

To summarize, my current pass rush on hybrid 49ers/Seahawks/Lions TT:

• Van Den Bosch (RE)
• Buckner (DT1)
• Leonard Williams (DT2)
• Dwight Freeney (LE)

Reggie White's Minister of Defense is absolutely outstanding, in both spots, edge or interior rusher.  I've been playing a ton of 3-4 Odd, but also plenty of 4-3 Even 6-1, as it's possible to get your DT to loop around the interior blocking, while only sending 4 pass rushers.

DT Suh is a monster, I still rock Hargrave as well who plays above just ovr.  VAnder and Turner at ends.   OnceI have a reason to get another edge rusher I'll move Vander to dt2 to go with suh and replace Hargrave

Suh and reggie white

Was thinking of moving VB inside to save the coins on Booger. May have to pull the trigger and try him out.

Don't have Freeney but this is good. Also running Lions and Niners. Packers rather than Seahawks though.

Have Suh. VDB at 91 OVR and Lions Chem TT has played really well. Will have to try him inside with Suh maybe.

I was so close to choosing Packers, but ultimately went with Bitch Pigeons, despite the pairing feeling a bit liek sacrilege. Loved using Xavier McKinney at FS, he was so ridiculously elite when I had him juiced up with full 9/9 TOTW chems recently. Ended up building Jessie Bates, love that he's hits 90 for both MCV and ZCV.

I also just swapped out Ickey LTD for new Ahman Green (with Sea Chickens chems, 92 SPD) purely because he was 300k instead of 1M.

Freeney is absolutely ridiculous, he only uses his 90+ FMV rating and he's blazing fast off the edge. But you've got Minister of Defense, I had incredible success with his budget version. 3AP Unstoppable Force from the LTD is nuts. Could pair that with two DoN and I bet that D-line would absolutely EEAT.

I just prefer to catch picks, so PA & LA is personal preference, I run my D-line naked, no abilities. Pure speed and looping blitzes, but really many disengage post-patch.

EDIT: I ended up taking Suh CB, fully maxed he's 90 SPD with 90 ZCV but you can't teach having a pair of 6'4" outside Corners protecting sideline balls.

Suh is really good from 4-3 or 3-4

Team captain McCoy is really good with multiple team boosts. Like 86 speed, 91 accel for me

I built DJ Reader last night for Lions TT, but I don't think he's nearly as good as this budget Leonard Williams, both only use PMV but only one hits 90 PMV threshold.
