Strong I OT pitch whatever the f it's called is still a devestating play for power backs.
And it all depends on the defense you're facing and the strength of your line.

By combo I mean a powerback with a shitload of speed.


That's not really a combo-back, just a really shitty powerback.


This man knows what he is talking about. Look at all those peewee winners he has.

I am building a power back for my team. But , he will be for pass blocking and short yardage. They're not dead, just changing roles. I am on board for the str/spd build for that type of guy. Blocking will be huge too, but not as big. My yards will be grabbed up by my elusives!!!

Yeah I think it's hilarious how people base their build advice off level <20 players. Power backs dominate with high strength at lower levels, but they won't get anywhere at higher levels without a healthy amount of speed. By healthy speed I mean 90+.

Slow power backs basically suck past level 25.
