I've known this for a long time. A good lead blocking fullback is the same as a good rushing fullback, minus the SA's.

If that's how you're built... gratz on clogging the hole and slowing down your HB.

I started the thread to say that good speed is needed for a strong fullback. Not to ignore strength to bump up speed.

Sorry man, but every time I see Kayoh post, he spreads misinformation. I just want to prevent him from corrupting some newb, with his often bad, advice.

I'm a big advocate of speed for a FB, just not at the cost of ignoring strength and/or agility. I don't believe it makes more of a consistent impact over those two attributes.

If your HB is significantly faster than you, you're officially as useless as a QB when it comes to blocking.

I don't understand why you believe that (not a flame--just a question). In real life, a FB needs only enough "speed" (maybe agility more than speed?) to take 3 or 4 steps forward and hit the first defender that appears in the hole.

It's the same thing in GLB.

+1

Not on outside running plays, like tosses or sweeps, where the FB is 1 on 1 in open space with the LB, who likely has >70 speed and >60 agility.

Still the same thing as RL, fat-ass lineman can pull and get out in front of the HB. I rarely have trouble blocking on the outside tosses/sweeps with my FB... that's with my 52 speed, 51 agi, 3 quick cuts and 50 vision (I also have almost 90 strength).

You may want to get a HB with decent vision, one who waits for his blocks, before he explodes through the hole/lane.

kayoh you don't even have a fullback...

Also, don't forget teams with strength-build halfbacks who are much slower. My FB Eye Runjoo Over was the lead blocker for 2 seasons on a team with a 3,000 yard rusher and a 2,000 yard rushing backup for each season.

Strength is my main attribute.
