The SA specifically lists the FB as the dot it seems the SA was made for;

"This FB is adept at leading the rusher through the line. The LEAD BLOCK skill gives him a bonus to blocking and pushing defenders when he is lead blocking.
This skill is very important for players on teams that rush a lot, and the HB is not particularly fast.
Additional Levels: Increases the bonus to blocking when lead blocking."

My question basically is does it work for an O-lineman since he's neither a FB nor it could be possible that, due to his position on the O-line, he's not considered a 'lead blocker'?

Thanks in advance.

It would work on an OLineman if say you used it on a RT and the HB ran an off tackle run to the right, without a FB in that said play, thus making the RT the lead blocker....I think..

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it works for OL (or whoever else is blocking right in front of where the runner wants to go).

I thought I'd seen this as well but haven't had any luck finding it yet.

there's a down-field component when it comes to the o-line... like lead blocker implies that the blocker is leading the runner. If the blocker is stationary, like the o-line at the start of the play, then they aren't leading. When the o-lineman moves on to a LB in the "second level" or when pulling on a sweep, then he is "leading" the runner.

good luck digging up that quote.

Not specifically about OL but close:

Danke. Gonna now reconsider it as my extra SA.

Does Lead Block work for all Offensive Linemen? i.e. if you have an O-line all with 10 lead block SA, and you run I form HB Blast, will all 5 O-linemen have a blocking bonus at the start of the play?
Catch- It works when they are doing lead block behavior like pulling - if the center is blocking a defender straight in front of them, then no, he will not get a bonus. If he is pulling for an outside run, then yes he will.

on that note: what is considered a lead block in GLB?

Pretty sure that's been answered before; anybody close enough to the runner and ahead of him, or who is specifically coded to "lead block," like the FB on many plays. 90% of the time it's the latter case that's important for skills and such.

Thanks TJ. Definitely gonna rethink my extra SA now. Muchos gracias compadres.

I presume that LB would work as efficiently on a ST guy as on the OL ?

i've never seen it work on st, mostly because ST doesnt have a LOS. i've experimented with multiple players using it and never found it having any more effect thn not having it.
