I always thought that the LE should have higher strength, and the RE could focus more on speed.

Am I wrong?

all relative.
should he have higher strength, yes. But how much is the question.

Some guys think 60-70 is enough.

Depends on if you want his strength high enough only to stop getting pancaked, OR to hold his ground, OR to push through the blockers (as opposed to dancing around them).

All three slants on strength have their own advantages.

Ironically... this season our speed DE (LDE) is doing better than our agi DE (RDE)... but I have a feeling that it was a result of the competition building tackles to deal with run blocking on the strongside.

LDE usually gets the sacks... so speed for LDE and strength for RDE.

Right?
