Bort said that "Some blocking" would help against the O-line.

What is "Some" and does it really help?

"some' is like 90. It helps a little as you raise it up, but not enough to put sp's into it.

It does help but it's a support attribute and not a primary attribute. That means you should only worry about it when you're satisfying with your strength, speed, agility and vision. Even then I would rate blocking behind confidence and stamina.

But it does help when you have a solid overall build. And in our DE testing we notice that DE, with solid build and high Shed Block, with high blocking, has a proportionally higher chances of shedding a block.

thanks bigger blue.
but one thing of note is that the only skills you can intense train it with is agility and strength, which are two of the early stage skills.
so if you want to train it on intense, your only opportunity to do so is early.
and if tackling is not going to be big to you, then really your only time to do so is with strength (depending on the position i think you will want to train agility with speed or vision)...so i think if it is valuable, you have to do it relatively early in his career, and/or when needing to get shopping tokens.

and can you definite high shed block?

thanks for any info.

I will literally never be satisfied with my strength, speed, agility, or vision.

I train blocking when I need shopping tokens, and it gets it up pretty quick.
