I am thinking of dropping all of that equipment into stregnth and turning them both into strength based DE's, at least I have seen those guys do something. But I will probably just start going heavy into the SA's and see if I can make either one work that way.


Depending how low your str is, you may be getting pancaked every play. If your played LDE your focus should be on str in any case.

I feel that agility will outweigh speed. Sure, you need a solid amount of speed, because that raises the "ceiling" to your acceleration, but that the Agility:Speed ratio should be at least 1.25:1. I'm going to attempt to soft cap my agility ASAP, and go from there. Also I'm trying to max out the First Step SA, and hopefully that'll make me a beast off the line.


Thats what YOU feel. I have seen the power of speed/agility 60 capped with all equipment into speed. What are you basing your arguement on?

Agility will actually mean "acceleration" next season. So obviously having high speed won't matter next season if you don't have the agility to reach the speed. So I'd say agility will matter the most now.


Yeah, but if you have high acceleration and not high top speed... whats the point?

To me, this means there's more importance to balance.


well its not like your going to have to run for like more than 10 yards. within 10 yards crazy acceleration is >>>>>>> than crazy speed
