Re: Best 3-4 Linemen?
In the 3-4, you want to strive for run support. While Reggie seems like the prototypical 3-4 DE (big strong and fast) int APF 2K8 he has too many pass rush moves to really be that effective. In this case, I tend to pick DTs and set them at DE. Manley is not effective in the 3-4 because he's not a good tackle. He's more of an end. He could play OLB in this scheme, but not end since the 3-4 is like a 5-2 with 3 down linemen.
At the nose I like William Perry. He's large and can really collapse the middle of the pocket. One of my favorites at DE is Jerome Brown. He's fast, big and can really stop the run on his side. Leon Lett is also a great run stopper too. I tend to have him at the other end. I'm also trying out Bob Lilly at the DE spot too. He's a fast run stopper so he might workout really well here.
Remember in the 3-4, the lineman aren't designed to get to the QB, they're designed to draw the OL double teams so the LBs can blitz unimpeded. Unfortunately in APF 2K8, I don't think they handle the DL is handled properly in that too often they don't hold their blocks on running plays. But for the most part that's the strategy.
