Should EQ be based in strength or blocking?

at least 2 pieces in speed IMO. gotta stay in front of your HB.

You want to get into the 90's with speed. So 1 or 2 should be good.

Blocking/Strength should be about even. You can pump one first then at higher levels go after the other one. But to say 90 blocking and 48 Strength or the opposite would not be very effective.

Now the issue of speed, you will need agility to get off the snap and in front the HB and you will need speed, especially on outside runs to stay ahead of the HB. But if you watch closely the FB does not lead the HB to the sideline then up he will either clear the end of LOS then turn up or he will have a defender to engage about the time he clears the end of the LOS. I don't believe you will need 90 speed. You could use some First Step SA to help get a quick jump off the snap and you could use some VAs to help boost your speed too. But to use your equipment (especially early in your build) on speed does not seem good for a Blocking FB.
