Any thoughts (I apologize it there is another thread covering this already) on the best AEs to look for for blocking TEs. I have an owner looking for my guy to find a Pancake one. I have so far found a few ones I'm going ask about:

+2 vision, +1 Shock Block SA
+3 strength
+1 Absorb Pain SA
+3 jumping, +1 Cut Block SA

Where would these rank for a Blocking TE vs looking for one with Pancake?

Thanks!

Absorb Pain - A pass block SA. Out.
Shock Block - In the pass block tree. Questionable.
Cut Block - Sounds interesting. Could be useful.
+3 Strength - Always good. Very useful.

I would avoid the first two, as they seem more pass block oriented. Unless your TE is doing pass blocking, which most usually aren't. Cut block sounds pretty decent and I would definitely give it a go, but I would swap it for Pancake if given the opportunity. +3 strength is always a good way to go. I'd probably take that over any of the options and would have a hard time swapping it for a plain Pancake piece.

Honestly I think Quick Cut is the most useful SA for a blocking TE.

I'm not sure I see your logic.

Out side the AE I listed, which SA out there seems to be the best for a Blocking TE
