Yeah, too slow... I get it. Can I fix him or just retire?

I like him. You have plenty left to address speed.

In the right offense he could do well (2 bFBs). He will never get to the edge on outside running plays with less than 100 speed, though. If you are building him as an inside bFB / pass blocking FB it looks fine.

He can get it to 83-85 natural and then to 100 with equipment.

That's fine for an inside bFB.

If he is to block on the outside that's just not enough... from the few TKW games I've watched this season, you need at least 110, preferably with FS. 100 speed will make you pull your hair out.

Was once told blocking FB's need around 120 to 135 speed at plateau (most likely enhanced by EQ/AEQ) to be really effective in outside runs. Enough speed to get to the first level of block needed to spring the HB. That was many seasons ago... may have changed a bit since then... but it's a good number to shoot for for a start.

120 is fine. You don't really need much more than that.

HHWC has a bFB with ~125 speed + 10 FS and he is definitely fast enough for outside blk.

TKW has a bFB with 100 speed and he is too slow.

For outside blocking you want to be around 120. Maybe 110 with FS is okay.. don't know.

Anything over 130, with FS mixed in, will drive you just as crazy.

Thanks guys.

Not sure anything can be as bad as this: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=2266463&pbp_id=6973217

Unless you're talking about the plays where the FB just runs full speed towards the endzone for no particular reason.
