Trying to figure out how I can fix my FB, a bit. I've been having problems getting him to work at all well in Run Blocking. On the flip side, I've seen him do quite well in pass blocking, which since we throw the ball a little more is NICE, but the fact that he seems completely useless at his primary function kinda hurts that. Few plays the last game that seem pretty much par for the course in all the games we've been in this year.

Where he's just been plain ineffective:

Where he seems to wander off or go in a completely different direction(This happens most of all in games, I think):

His Base Stats are:
Strength: 63.54
Blocking: 61.54
Speed: 49
Agility: 53.3
Catching: 16.21
Stamina: 49.21
Carrying: 46.54
Vision: 50.88
Confidence: 39.21
SA Tree
1-2-0-0-0
VAs: 10 in Great Blocker, 3 in Workout Warrior

His EQ has been mostly in speed, with the exception of an AEQ, which is +5 Blocking, +3 Vision, +12% Hold Block and he's got the Custom tree in Blocking. I've been looking for a Lead Block AEQ and had planned to focus on upgrading that and Agility, but is there anything else I can really do to fix this? Thanks for any help.

Since it's your team and you have the cash, try putting equipment into agility. That would make it +15 with your AEQ. Then work agility up to at least base 60, followed by 60 base speed.

Hm. Would that take care of the plays where he just kinda takes off in a different or odd direction, though? I almost thought it was a Vision check fail of some kind, since he just takes off a different direction from the halfback or stands around or something utterly useless most of the time.

He's taking off after a LB that he can't catch. Then, when the FB realizes he can't catch up, he looks for the next best target. Unfortunately the play is almost over or there is no one around so it looks like he's wandering around.

Get agility up. It's just a monetary investment at this point. It will help, and it can't get any worse.
