I'm running an experimental 5:6-ish speed-to-agility ratio on a CB. He's been very successful. My take on it is that since agility effects how quickly he can slow down/turn/accelerate, his lower top speed allows him to come to a stop and turn quicker than if he had high speed. Basically, lower speed is more "steerable".

I keep waiting for him to get burnt deep but it hasn't happened yet this season. Maybe because of luck or something, but possibly because the WR is being covered so well for (most of) his route that the QB looks elsewhere.

After being second in the league last season in both Ints and PDs, he's getting less of both this year. Last season he was thrown at a lot more though...

1 to 1 may be a bit much, you need 80 speed for sure. It would be hard to have 80 speed and 80 agility without ignoring something.

I made my cb to be a return specialist. then returns turned to crap this year. as you can see if you look at my stats over the last three years. so I started balancing him out so he could play coverage. I like mine where it is. 77 speed and 60 agility.

But I learned from him and im making some more corners based on what I learned.

I think that's a good plan. I'm guilty of not having enough agility for my CB, even though he is doing fairly well this season. So I'm going to go the same route as you plan with narrowing that gap between agility and speed.

I actually have tried having agility considerably HIGHER than speed [did a full equipment shift] and it seemed to work really well. my guy didnt get beat deep, he turned perfectly with the receiver coming out of cuts, he looked alot better than usual [which isnt usually that bad too be fair]. am considering keeping this sort of build from now on.
agility was around- 75-80
speed was around- 55-60
