They should be able to shed blocks and make tackles behind the line, right? So how important is "blocking" (which supposedly helps you break blocks)?

not very. Training it up to 20 when you're in your 50s won't hurt much.

This was going to be exactly my question! So, getting it to around 20 or so when you around Level 50 or so will do the job?

To be honest, I don't think at any point of a LB's career, that training blocking becomes an attractive option. I'd rather train Catching.

Speed, agility are the primary components behind TFL's unless you get blocked. Vision is important as well. Strength if you get blocked.

It's debatable. I'd just build a guy like you would think and then if at a very high level you don't have anything good to train and blocking is low, you can train it without losing out on too much.

Cool, thanks for the replies...

Denver trained blocking.

fwiw Caleb trained it too, not that he's much of a blitzer.
