I know if you compare Run Stopper defensive end to interior rusher defensive tackle, it's almost strictly better.
I'm currently testing weight adjustments to see if we can solve the issue by just adjusting weight instead of changing max attributes values.
I think that's the way to go. I think already teams will be (and have been) punished by using DEs as DTs because of their lower weight, but also at higher TPE levels DTs have more strength which starts to put them above DEs at the DT position.
It's a small sample size, but Miller is a really good example of that. Miller's outperforming Bjornsson at the DT position and I think it's because of his strength.
I'm completely against any kind of "only DTs or LBs can play DT or LB" rule, but I definitely think archetypes can be tweaked so that they have more clear and even strengths/weaknesses
