Replace Jeff Saturday/what matters most for OL or DL?

So, I'm noticing the vast majority of times I've been sacked, it comes from Jeff Saturday. This is why he isn't Jeff Sunday; he's giving it his all on partying the night before the game. I mean it is...REALLY bad. Of note, I did not upgrade him at all so he runs at 78 stock.

I have an ok line, my lowest being 75 Noteboom at LT, but by far Saturday has been the worst. I think the real issue is the weight because there was a threshold for weight difference last year. Saturday weighs less than 300. I thought the important stats were strength and awareness but could be wrong. Weight might be pretty key as well and I think you want large dudes.

Anyone have any thoughts, data etc on what matters most for OL? Maybe DL as well, since theoretically they are hugely important in football, and maybe Madden as well. Or at least role playing a scenario where Madden is remotely realistic.

Key stats for lineman are awareness, strength, weight, pass block, run block, and impact blocking. Also pay attention to lead block depending on the scheme or position.

The Saturday sucks. I had him full tokens and he gets illegal man downfield on every play action.

I moved my tokens to the Vincent.

I went for the Witten personally because I pass a lot and needed a big boi to get some tough catches and I regret absolutely nothing at all. I'm gonna get a center when I find a good deal even if it is an OVR drop. OVR isn't as important as having actually relevant stats. Saturday is proof of this and also he seems to be one of those cards that somehow play way worse than the stats indicate as well.
