Currently training strength/tackling, then going to do vision/confidence and cap vision once I'm done with agility.

Both have 15 SP's to spend. For Kermit, I'm thinking of either taking agility to 74 or taking vision to 61. For Zach, I'm thinking of either taking speed to 74 or taking agility to 61.

From what I've read, speed, agility, and vision are the most important attributes for LB's, so I'm focusing on those. Am I doing ok with these guys, and do I need to worry about fitting them into a position or role?

both of your LB are good but your 1st LB needs a lot more speed and tackling
the 2nd LB needs talking also and vision

Echo?

Anyways your first guy has decent size. Maybe MLB, AGI & VIS are a good start. Maybe get VIS to 68 and up AGI to 77. Then SPD/TAK on intense for a season or so. Then decide if you want to focus on PDs or try and get INTs. Id personally just go with jumping to affect the pass game since youll have good VIS.

OK your second guy is exactly what you should be doing. Although the SP youve put into AGI id have just put into SPD until the 6-1 cap, then moved on to training AGi and something else. Just keep going with speed. Get it to 77 natural. Then AGI to 75-77, then train STR/TAK. Capping AGI at 50 is not wise at these low levels. Get it as high as possible so you get max natural gains. Right now one natural tic is worth only 2 SP. But if you do that youll have a nice ROLB.

I don't think you can go for 2 attributes to 77 on a LB and still complete everything he'll need. You could go speed to 77 on a pure pass rusher but he'd never be a good tackler. I'd take agility to 74 on the first LB and speed to 74 on the second, and then next season for the speed guy, select an archetype with speed as a major.

You're doing all right. Just aim for the 73 cap like the other guys suggested for speed/agility/vision. I think your players are best suited for OLBs but the first one could make a decent MLB if you went for tackling after finishing off vision.

My LB has 2 attributes higher than 77. 78 Speed and 79 Agility and Vision at 71 natural. Strength is at 64 and Tackling 59. With so many 110 Strength powerbacks, anyone is gonna have a LB miss tackles. But my guy definately holds his own.

I'm not talking about attributes going over 77, I'm talking about directly taking 2 attributes to 77. That would take a ton of skill points.
