With his Skill Points I am thinking of 3 options.

A. Take his Agility to a Natural 75

B. Take his Speed to a Natural 79

C. Start working his Vision from 50 to the next cap.

I saw some definite improvements when I took his Agility to 74 last Level Up, so it was my first impulse. But Vision is also supposed to help with fakes. So I put the question out to the HB experts!

Ssssssssssssssss...

This is a very tricky question.

I have not gotten a HB up to lv 53 yet (my highest HB has been 37, and that is my current one), but I started my guy with a pretty extreme SPEED weight, and kept that higher than my agility by about 1.75 cap levels.

That pattern worked VERY well, especially on my particular team which featured extremely fast and agile OT, and an excellant recruitment goal of FB with the speed to keep up in lead blocking duties; so I made hay on sweeps and pitches...

About mid-way through last season though, and on into this season, I have found that my lessened AGILITY was starting to effect my ability to spring free vs an adjusting CB or LB. Despite continued solid lead blockers, I just was not seeing the same sorts of results because I did not have the agility to juke/spin the one on one tacklers, and my avg run has fallen dramatically...

So I have set the goal of bringing my AGILITY more in line with my speed (currently 98 speed adjusted, and 62.51 raw Agility, with all EQ bonuses in speed), and I have seen a slight reversal of the YPC downward trend...

Concurrent to brining agility up from the low 50's, I also used my SP to finish off my 1st cap vision, so that may have some effect on my positive results trends as well.

So I would probably seriously consider the options, in order to be:

Agility to the 75.
Vision to the 60.51 cap.
Then speed to raw 79.

While you may fall slightly behind the outside CB in pure speed, just like a possession WR who needs speed and agility to get his seperation, you MAY find benefit from being able to out manuever those manned up tacklers...
