Personally, I would 2nd cap Vision, and then 2nd cap Agility. After that you'll need to take both of those to 77 cap. You need to decide which one first from there. While your working on those pick up a MT% piece, and play on wrapup.

Agility 2nd, no question. Don't circle cap them, just take Agility up to 80 then Vision.

Circle capping is when you take an attribute to a cap that is LOWER than you intend to take it, and then cap another attribute lower then you intend to take it and then finish capping the first attribute, it's not as efficient as just regular capping.

An example of circle capping.
Vision to 61
Agility to 61
Vision to 77
Agility to 77

Do what Kerpow said, you want to finish Agility as soon as you can, as high as you can. Take vision to 77 after and just use Football genius VA to get it to 87ish end game.

I'll edit this post by saying. "Build a LB'er who will be a team player, and be solid." If you don't build a LB'er who is Blitzed 30-40 times a game, and is basically worthless the 3-4 times per game that he gets a sack then you will be unhappy w/ building a LB'er. Of course, that blitzing LB'er will receive praise from the GLB methalogy, but you should be prepared unless you get on a team w/ a DC who is willing to except the consequences of having a vulnerability. That being said, a LB'er has a place on a good team if your willing to sacrifice player glory for team glory. JMO!!!!

thanks to the both of you guys. I have noticed milehighshoes give a lot of good avice on the boards for different positions and i appreciate you helping me out here. thanks for filling me in on the circle capping

I agree with you FEARtheHOG. I am a team player and i am not building my guy to be a blitzing machine. I am building him for coverage so hopefully I can stay LOLB. i am hoping my speed will help get to the running back fast.
