You guys went too far with the nerf. I made 8 dedicated STOP's that are now worthless. In the other thread (Bugs forum), people were posting that you can't expect someone with 8 blocking to slow someone down. That is understandable, but, I have seen a bunch of punts where the PP "seems" to go thru one of the gunners. On the replay below my PP has the following; 80+ STR, 85+ BLK, 77 AGI and 48 VIS. Please don't say moar VIS.

Forgot to add. 15 Special teamer, 15 Great Blocker and 6% Hold Block. That's approx 104 blocking by my calculations.

Yeah I agree with this, as a guy who thinks ST is 1/3 of the game

For Punt Return, blocking as a whole I don't think should be buffed. But during the opening interaction of Oline/Dline there, the blocks should be held a little bit longer for sure. They all start at a stand still, no reason for your guys to be giving up blocks that quick. Just look at how close 3 of the main punt protection guys get to the returner before the ball reaches the returners hands. Thats a bit ridiculous. Gunners barely make it to a punt returner that fast let alone the Long Snapper and his beef on either side of him.

Here is the difference between what this really means and what GLB thinks it means over the last several seasons.

GLB: This means 1/3 of the scoring comes from ST's.

Reality: This means that field position is largely calculated through ST's setting up for scoring drives and if you get a score out of it, thats quite the plus.
