I don't know man the words agility and safety in the same sentence as far as when to invest sp's in it, isn't anything really etched in stone. You can wait on agility. You can pump it early. I think you'd make a better over all build if you waited on agility,as far as slow builds go.

If you want to be good your whole career then agility after speed is the way to go.

If I slowbuild, would it be nice in terms of SP to:

Train Strength/Tackling, 1st cap them both
Train Speed/Agility, 3rd cap Speed
Train Agility/Vision, 3rd cap Agility

and go on from there with vision, etc.?

The method here would suggest doing speed first.

Train Speed/Tack: Cap speed
Train Tack/Str: Keeping capping speed until 3 or 4
Train Tack/Str: Cap Str
Train Tack/Agi: Cap tack (at this point it shouldn't be too hard since you've train the poop out of it)
Train Agi/Vis: Cap both
etc

There are plenty of O-linemen in Pro leagues who have close to 80 speed.

A safety with 80 speed at high levels is a disaster. As an OC, if I thought a safety that slow was playing against me at any level outside the minors, I would pretty much pitch to the right every single play and watch the immobile safety try and catch my RB.

Or maybe I would just let one of the numerous 100+ speed receiving TEs around run a straight deep route. And watch the safety get smoked . . .

True. At high league, probably.

However, you don't know. Also, add to that is his speed is 80, the sacrafice (provided it wasn't just sloppy building) could really had boosted up some other attributes, like STR, TACK, and VIS. I don't think even a level 100 speed TE could "blow passed" him unless the safety didn't drop back well or the OL gave great protection. Even so, while such a safety is a laibility it is not without it's reward. It's high STR and TACK would result in a much greater chance of forcing fumbles, especially on TEs that tend to have fumble-itits, if the pass is caught in front of the safety.
