What would be the attributes and important things to know about each position
DT - Like any 3-4 you'll probably want a big body who can help stuff the run or rush the pass rusher. Someone like gravedigger would probably be ideal
DEs - not super important but these players need to be able to do a mix of stuffing the run and rushing the passer
OLBs - Since you want to run a zone blitz it's important that these players be good pass rushers look for high finesse or power moves on these players. It's pretty rare but occasionally EA will release that have the stats to rush the passer or drop into coverage. You may want to invest in players who can do both since it gives you more options to defend your opponent
MLBs - should be fast and have good coverage. Being able to rush the passer is also a plus
CBs and Safeties - The usual ratings likezone, awareness, play rec, speed. Maybe man if you want to use any match
