If you want to primarily play LOT then add points to protect. If he is still going to play RT then double cap agility and cap speed. Good build so far.

i'd go agi to the 3cap, as that's what DEs are progressing to as well

hold off on protect until str/agi/blk are all at 61 cap.

add SPD to 1st cap and agree with this statement. Also, don't try to match AGL with DEs. Most of them 3rd cap AGL and put all their EQ in it as well. I think 3rd capping AGL without adding any EQ is enough. OTs need a balanced build. That's why they have 5 major attributes out of 7 total.

good thing is spd doesnt auto-level so you dont have to worry about gains; you can assign the +5 to spd whenever you want

Thanks for the advice! I've got another question. Right now, my Running Style is set all the way to the left (-100) at Power, my Tackling Style is set at Wrap-Up, and my Route Running Style set to Exact. Would changing/not changing the settings here affect my performance for the better/worse?

it doesnt trigger, dont worry about it.

I would leave the settings like that. He won't run routes, if you recover a fumble you just want him to run straight ahead until somebody trips him, if the other team turns the ball over, you just want to tackle the guy any way you can rather than go for the strip.
