What's a good number for tackling for a DE? Currently, I have 56 in tackling. Do I need it to be higher?

no

What about tackling for a DT? Should you try to get it to 60 or is 57 enough?

57 is good enough for a dt

I'm starting to like higher tackling for DT's and plan to work it pretty high on my new (level 1) DT.

Higher tackling = higher tackling radius, which is huge in run stuffing and playing 2 gaps, it also helps with those plays where you miss tackles because you're out of position, but still get the miss because you got your hands on them.

The best I can tell, more tackling does not give you a larger tackling radius.

I wouldn't say it guarantees you a larger radius but with low tackling imo you will not be able to shed and tackle unless the guy is right on top of you.

That's exactly how I look at it I guess radius is a bit misleading. Not necessarily turning your guy into Stretch Armstrong, but a better ability to reach around him when not in perfect position (ie. making one-handed grabs, tackles while still blocked etc.)

for a DT high tackling + str = Tackling style POWER to cause some fumbles.

For a DE, you're never going to be on anything but wrap-up thus much lower tackling needed
