Simple question: Let's say you have an agility-based DT and agility and strength are all at good levels. You have speed at 61 and some SPs to spend.

So do you take speed to that next cap and go with low SAs or do you spend most of the SPs in Shed Block and whatever you have left goes into speed?

ive been asking myself this same question for a while, and would love to hear from some higher lvl guys who have had the chance to try.

speed to 68... but you only have a level 16 DT. agility should be 74, strength 70 and speed 68 then shedblock to 6+

don't worry about vision, get that speed up through the x3 cap, did it with my DE and saw immediate results. Vision is for players who are far away from the ball.

Going to go ahead and disagree with this. Getting a slow jump off the ball means you're pretty much a non-factor in that play as a DT.

Very, very wrong. No vision = no beating the pass blocker. To beat them you either have to go though them (near impossible) or get around them, either at an angle they have trouble blocking you or completely around them which requires a quick jump off the snap.

agreed, although I'm not sure if he's trying to say get vision after speed, which would be the right choice imo. Vision is good, but speed to 3 cap first is definitely better than vision if you want a good pass rush

In any case take speed to the 68 cap before adding SAs.
