Ok so first of all... really cool that you're looking at this stuff and making suggestions.
However, straight up, my immediate problem is that a speed cap below 90 on a defensive back is too low. Speed is too important in this sim, and limiting any DB to tight end speeds is a bad idea, imo.
Otherwise, this might work better. I don't really know. I imagine the archetypes are fine in general though, given the testing that went on previously.
At a glance, without any testing on my part, I'm not sure what the impact of increasing strength would actually be, and suspect it wouldn't produce the desired effect, especially if lowering the tackling cap (though I understand your logic).
Higher intelligence makes sense, I guess. But I figure there's a reason no DB archetype goes over 85.
Lower hands ... ehh. I guess that makes sense if you're expecting this player to not have as much responsibility in coverage, but I wonder how much that affects their ability to be flexible overall.
Might be worth testing against the existing archetype (assuming tc didn't already optimise safety archetypes) and seeing the impact.
I definitely wouldn't switch to this archetype from center fielder, though.
