Completely untrue. Every DT will basically now have hit there speed cap. Speed is super important and is the second best attribute for defensive linemen for tackling and sacks, and the top stat for tackle for losses. Strength is necessary once you have your speed maxed.

The biggest reasons to keep me from changing my archetype are 1.) it's expensive and 2.) I almost want to prove the point out how terrible some archetypes are compared to others so that it yields to properly balanced archetype changes.

Geez, I guess I didn't process how low the DT speed caps were. I don't think that it's worth taking one season of production as the gospel truth (and I hope @timeconsumer would back me up on that one), but it's a helpful indicator and if speed is that vital you're almost better off swapping to the Speed Rush DE build and kicking inside every snap which is a little counter-factual.

Excited to read your article is I guess what I'm saying here.
