If everyone is right that speed is that important I think it's a real glitch in the game. Basically we're gonna end up with a bunch of LB's who run a 4.4 which is silly. The best LB's in the NFL are guys who run a 4.6, 4.7 with the occassional player who runs a 4.5. This focus on speed makes this game a little silly, IMO.

lmao , how fast do u think julian peterson is , and how wicked of an OLB he is

your speed needed is dependant on ur role as a LB , LOLB cover TE's more , so they need to be fast , and they blitz so again , need to be fast

MLB are you run stuffer , and some times cover HB's , so they need to be pre quick , but not overly fast

and ROLB's sometimes cover the HB , or 3rd WR , and sometimes blitz , so also need to be fast

and both OLB are responcable for sweeps , so need to be fast

actually JP is an above average LB and isn't really the phenom you're making him out to be. he averages under 6 sacks a season if you don't count his season where he played only 5 games. I understand the though process around needing to be fast but as far as football skills it should be behind Vision, Agility, and Strength.

well when u play on a team as bad as SF and have no help on D , you get run down after a while , i bet if he was on a team like phillie or pit he'd have had like 10+ sacks every year

(and btw , he is the fastest and most agile LB in the league)

Nope, Patrick Willis and Ernie Sims are.

Boss Bailey might be, but he also sucks...

I tend to agree with this. My Lb is 6'5 and 250+ but he runs just as fast as an RB who is smaller and has the same speed/agility numbers in this game. In real life someone like Westbrook can move way better then a LB like Trotter.

personally, all you need is mid 40's in agility... jack up your Strength, Speed, & Tackling and you'll be a monster.

My lvl 27 only has 42 in Agility, but is 65 in speed... and hes very fast
