Is a high speed better for SS, than say vision/strength/tackling?
I have 59 speed, 35 str, 45 vision, 43 tackling

just wondering how high my speed should be

Tackling is more than high enough. What's his agility, jumping, stamina, and catching?

59 speed is fine for a SS for a while. get your agility up so that it is the same as speed

Vissssssssion! Speed and agility can eat their hearts out, vision is king Speed is fine, tackling is good for a good long while as well. Definitely want to get that agility up to the soft cap as others have suggested.

if you want to be a run stopper then you definitely need to get your agility higher

remember to have an almost equal amount of both speed and agility, otherwise you're screwed

I think it's good that you point out what your role is. Different teams have very different expectations. One team I'm on sees the SS as basically a fast OLB and the FS as a slower/stronger CB. In the passing game, the SS's job the majority of the time is going to be to deal with the TE, which is typically a tall, very strong guy. To do that, you need a very physical player, so high strength is a must.

The other team sees them (Ss) about the same: as cover first, strong CBs. The two Ss have virtually identical builds. High speed, lower strength, cover guys.

Now one team is really solid up front, so it probably makes sense for them not to want an extra OLB on the field. The other team, I'd say, is more balance and requires Ss to do a lot more things.
