So for my guards I want to go:
hold block%
hold block%
get low

But what is a good 4th piece?
Foundation: is this really needed? DTs almost never get sacks.
Pancake: sounds good but against solid D-lines he won't get pancakes anyway
Hands: the alternative to Pancake... might actually help against the solid D-lines
First Step: so he can whomp people and get to the second level faster

For my LT I am going:
Protect
hold block%
hold block%

For a 4th piece it's either:
Foundation: he does have more agility/blocking and less strength than the rest of the line so might help if someone puts a STR DE over him
Get Low: considered one of the best SAs, but it's penalized for pass blocker archetypes.. still worth it to take to 10 even though it's in the red?
Hands: same argument as above
Quick Cut: I was going to take Quick Cut as my additional SA. Is 10 quick cut that much better than 4?

For the G, I'd only go pancake if he has all equipment in Str, and Str at around 150 eventually. If not, I'd choose between Run Block, Hands, Pass Block and Foundation. Run Blocking RG - Run Block or Hands. LG - Foundation or Pass Block.

For the LT, I am still unsure. I was considering Balance or Foundation eventually on mine though. If you're going to take Quick Cut as an additional SA though it could well be worth getting it to 10.
