Yep, I am loving outside blocker right now. I have not tried downfield blocker yet but its on my list of things to do.

Ah, I was hesitant about the downfield blocker because of the 3 yard clause. I wanted something that would really help my with that first hit.

After some deliberation it was actually the first thing I put points into on faith Bort would fix FB pathing. Reason being my team ran more up the gut than pitches and screens. Sure enough, I saw effects immediately early this season. Seesawing points into both now.

3 yards past the LOS tends to be exactly where a HB gets sprung or blasted by the secondary, imo. Here's some plays early on with just downfield:
