So, I restarted my guy and he just completed his first season, just boosted, now at Level 10, I was planning on getting Speed to Cap 3 this season (which i did) and next to get AGL to Cap 2 at least...

So far this is me:

--Physical Attributes--
Strength:11.25
Speed:61.5 (3rd Cap)
Agility:20.5
Jumping:13.5
Stamina:15.25
Vision:13.25
Confidence:12.25

--Football Skills--
Blocking:8
Tackling:18.5
Catching:8
Carrying:8
Throwing:8
Kicking:8
Punting:8

I now have 26 SP still in the Bank, 12 Bonus Pts (I used the ones saved up for a few SP), and I have been Multi-Training Agility and Vision

1) Am I on the right track for the Blitzing LB
2) Any tips on something to do differently
3) Where should I spend those 26 SP in the offseason, and what Skills should I focus on next season (Probably Multi-Training)

THANKS GUYS!

More speed. You don't want to spend any SPs on something other than speed till 77/81 I dunno what, high anyway its been a while since I've been around a lot so I'm not sure exactly how high you want it.

Yeah, what he said. Speed to at least 77, then agility.

for real?! thats like cap 5, mad SPs. I'll do it, but anyone else think differently. I figured at this point I hafta get there with SPs because they each point is 3,4 or 5 SPs, so couldn't I just do it in my season 2 after I level? Wouldn't Season 2 be better if I spread to Agility to get that to the next Cap and then boost up speed by the end of season 2?

That was what I thought, but I am not an expert and will go by the advice of my peers here...

Speed is key to a blitzer lb. If he's fast enough he'll never be touched. 81-83 is ideal for speed.

10-4, roger, got it... will do and all that good stuff.... one last thing, are we talkin pre-EQ? or with EQ? im holding out for good AEQ around lv 20, but put all my basic free EQ pts in tackling just to help me not miss tackles in the short run...

pre equip, a blitzing lb needs to be very very fast

Still should be all into speed. You will miss tackles but it shouldn't be a huge deal. More speed the more chance you are to make tackles/sacks.

Assuming you want your player to make it to level 72+.... you want to follow everybody's advice and get speed to 81-83 before working agility....

Yes and No.... Going for speed first and agility second is the right track.... using bonus pts on sp, and multi-training vision are both highly suspect....

Forget about blowing bonus pts on sp.... you're better off saving them for adv. eq.... Also, if you are adamant about multi-training.... I think you're wasting your time training vision....

As has already been mentioned... put everything into speed.... as for multi-training.... since I don't think it's all that it's cracked up to be.... I won't give a recommendation here..... other than don't blow your wad on vision.... assuming there is no major sim changes.... vision does next to nothing for a blitzing LB....

Vision is the 3rd key att for a blitz lb... Speed,Agility,Vision,Tackle. Trust me it does more then you'd think. Gets you off the line faster.

go all speed and play on wrap up. You'll be fine for a while. HB's outside of power backs can't break tackles for shit that low anyways. SSB's don't exist anymore and that was really the only need for suck tactics. My guys with close to 60 carrying and 15 slippery still don't break anything. Granted they're not even close to being done yet... but you get the picture.
