I am trainign strength and blocking. The reason for blocking is because i heard it helped sustain a block andnot get pancaked as easily.

The last game i was in i did nothing but get pancaked 26 times.

Any suggestions?

I have a suggestion. Stop training blocking for a D-lineman.

Other than an odd pancake here or there, pancakes happen because the O-lineman is clearly superior and dominant to the D-lineman. If you were pancaked 26 times, you were totally over-matched. If the player that pancaked you is close to you in level, it is a sign that your build sucks - not surprising if you spent much time training blocking on a D-lineman.

Strength, speed, agility, vision, confidence, tackling, stamina, and even jumping are all more important than blocking for a D-lineman.

You are playing LE. Looks like he was double teamed a lot. Even when TE disengaged, he helped on your DE until ROT was locked up with him. If you are playing LE about the only thing you can do in games like this is get strength up to 78+ and have shed block SA.

I got a piece of AEQ wiating that has shed block in it plus 2 strength so that will help as well. as for the strength its taking a while but its a work in progress.

Yeah I would say get your strength up and your speed wouldn't hurt either.
