Anyone know if it is for sure a difference? Like is breaking a block the strength type and shedding the agility type? Or are they one in the same roll, "break block"?

This would determine if Heavyweight VA is very useful for certain types of DEs or DTs.

No facts to base this but I would think the mathematical formula involves both Strength and Agility, and yes I would bet they are the same type (and time) roll.
How else does a muscle bound oaf with no agility force back his blockers, that is a break of some type.

FOr your last statement, I wonder the effectiveness of heavyweight across the front 7 on the D. Can yo uimagine trying to run against a team that the front 7 had maxed heavyweight? Sounds like a big pile of bodies to me (assuming they all have strength and/or agility high enough to trigger a roll).

If anyone has a link to that thread, I'd like to read it.

Ah. Thanks, I read that before. I was thinking he meant another thread, where maybe Bort confirmed effects of particular attributes and SAs.

I mean, there is another thread where tpat gathered all that info from. But I don't think it says anything extra from what tpat said in his thread.
