I noticed in the description all it says is it helps break tackles with Spin, but I was thinking agility helped play into dice rolls on brTk's in general.

If agility doesn't help break tackles, then my question is what's the point of having it for a power HB? They're supposed to pound it up the gut, not change direction, so what's the point?

acceleration.

So then since a break tackle may slow a ball carrier down, that means acceleration should kick in after the break tackle.

yup. and acceleration will help you get to the hole faster so you dont get hit for a TFL every 3 carries.

Agility helps but not nearly as much as strength/carrying/SAs

Agility helps a bit. I've compared two HBs with roughly similar builds except for agility, and the one with higher agility broke a noticeably greater number of tackles. I still woudln't take it past 74 tops, though.

AGI is part of the BRK TKL roll, but it's not weighted nearly as heavy as STR or CAR or Momentum.

So momentum then would be a guy going at top speed? So the faster a guy is going, the more likely he is to break the first tackle?

well not necessarily top speed, but, the faster the dot is going, the more momentum he is going to have (momentum is simply put, M = W x S, where M is momentum, W is weight (the actual equation uses force, but its the same thing in this case), and S is speed.), and so the easier he is going to break tackles.
