I'm sure someone has tried it, was your player able to get open at all, and break any tackles after the catch? I'm thinking of trying one out.

Nice! Currently rolling my TE, trying for 20-21 strength with 8s in worthless attributes.

Hasn't this pretty much been the definition of a Combo TE all along? As you developed the strength for the blocking, you've consequentially developed the strength like a power HB as well...

Except instead of blocking, your upping your carrying some and getting VAs like YAC Attack and Bruiser.

build is shitty - http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=152956 (edit: started his career as a big WR, then i balanced him, then i went heavy with the tackle-breaking stuff)

but the idea of the tackle-breaking TE is there. the idea is for him to catch it within 8 yards of the line of scrimmage every time. safeties have a really tough time bringing him down, and linebackers have to be solid tacklers.

Level 49
82 strength
77 speed
60 agility
31 blocking
9 RR (AEQ)
9 Lower Shoulder (AEQ)
15 YAC

Basically a Power back build with catching and carrying switched. Could be placed as powerback on a team with out one in certain situations.

But it all depends on the OC and how he(THey) is(are) used. SHort/Medium plays are the best of course

I think your low carrying could be affecting your results, isnt it supposed to be somewhat important for breaking tackles?

Also, with only 30 carrying you dont even have access to the power VAs.

I have one suceeding in USA Pro.

Don't want to give out all of his stats, but I'll say his strength is below 70 and he still breaks a lot of tackles.

Well, I decided to build this. He's currently on a 13-cap team which primarily runs the ball, but he's had a nice play here and there. Havnt worked on his carrying yet, but thats next.

Breaks three tackles and the short pass goes for a nice 20+ yard gain.
