In particular for the blitzer and coverage archtype. Is the same philosophy that is concerned with strength and a run stuffing DT, where you can never have too much, apply to speed and a blitzing LB?
To further explain, basically I have gotten speed up to 77 for my level 14 blitzing LB. Am I gimping myself by not getting speed to the 80's? Where do most people aiming for the world league cap speed around?

Speed needs to go higher than 77 for sure on a blitzing LB.

but at level 14 he should exceed 90 natural by the time he maxes out....with 48+ equip he can have 138 on a blitzing LB....i know there's a lot higher but seems acceptable

through ALG's it will get higher. Do those aiming for WL cap higher than 77?

im not sure it does need to go higher than 77... 77 capping speed right off the bat will land you at 94 for your end build. add 58 to that from EQ and you have 152 speed... add in streaky and or any other speed modifying VAs, and youre running at 160ish speed. throw in some FS, TV, and or disguise blitz, and a sufficient amount of vision to get off the snap, and you should be looking good. that being said, i would say that 77 in probably the min for a speed blitzer. the higher the better (given you dont neglect some other part of your build), but you should be able to get away with 77.

81 is probably about right.
