I'd second cap strength before taking either speed or agility higher. Because it'll compliment your high levels of power thru and dive4yards. Once strength is set, by all means pump up those other two attributes.

I think the main difference between the two routes would be... the speed/agility path would make you break off long runs more often, while the strength route would mean more consistent per carry type of deal. I'm one for consistency TBPH.

Speed. your agility is already high enough right now at 50.

I'd vote agility, since its a major. Get that to another cap so that you'll get more for your money at higher levels. Though if you have a very fast HB, speed might be better.

I'd have to agree with agility first. It's another one of those trade offs, speed will have a little more impact currently... but agility is better in the long run.

Depends on who you block for, and what your main shortcoming is.

When you watch PbP, is your FB slow to the hole, or does he get there and not change direction well enough to pick up defenders in space?

Technically speaking, FBs aren't supposed to adjust their blocks. HBs adjust to how the blocks are set up. The defense will just sometimes make a good play, it's not magic.

Obviously, it'd be nice to be able to compensate for a good defensive play, but you can't realistically expect a FB to adjust and pick up a backside defender when lead blocking... it's a team sport for a reason, people have to work together and perform their specific roles to be successful.

A FB's specific role as a lead blocker is to create a running lane for the HBs, by moving/tying-up defenders, giving the HB room to get past.

If the HB does his job, it should lead the defenders right into the FB. Football is a game of angles, cut back and make a defender's angle run him right into your blockers.

P.S. Individual tactics can have a huge impact on game play. Just recently I went from +run to balanced, my FB performed like crap... slow to the hole, taking bad angles, 1/3rd the pancakes, etc...

Personally I've noticed 2nd softcap Strength seems to really help fire off the Power Thru SA. I would advise getting Str. 2nd capped ASAP. Then work on Agility and Speed.
Don't waste any pts. in Dive 4 yds. IMO

I have decided. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=238305

I will 2nd cap strength then speed. My custom equipment is +2 to speed, +2 Dive for Yards. Does this seem appropriate?

forget it. I looked, you're level 32, you should have had agility at least at 60 natural a long long long time ago.
