Warrior General Games

This is the level 79 finished projection. He's only 240 atm.

Intended Role - Goal Line Power Rush inside the Tackles, Every down Run Blocking FB or back up Run Blocking FB

Looking for general comments and also particularly the following questions

1) Is 76 Blocking too low to make him a viable run blocking FB?

2) Is 118 Speed too low to make him a viable outside run blocking FB?

3) Are the plusses from the attribute VAs worthwhile to save the build or should they be used situationally? (ie outside blocker etc).

4) Should I ditch Lower Shoulder AEQ (not yet bought) and go with +12% Hold Block or other? In this scenario I swap the SA to First Step and make that 10.

5) Retire iyo ?

I would be concerned with speed. As quick hitting as some of the inside FB rushes are, which makes them good for short yardage pickups, you may be giving a little too much time. In today's GLB, at the top of the sim, defenders react pretty quickly.

Realistically I wouldn't cut lower than 130. I would rather have a blocker who isn't the best pancake guy than have all those points in carrying/SAs essentially go to waste.

Ugh 130 speed, gonna be tough to get to that. Will see what I can manage. Shoulda looked at this a couple seasons ago I guess.

Thanks

Might consider swapping out some of your EQ's (Not AEQ) stuff to boost speed. If you don't like it, you can always swap it back out next season.

4 AEQ, where it was possible they were already put entirely into speed.

I would have to sell and come out with an AEQ not fully upgraded.

Might be worth it though.

Or just go 3 AEQ

Thats what I wound up doing.

Both should be around speed 140.

Or simply switch (points in skill) your last (regular EQ) piece first and see what that looks like before going 3 AEQ only.

Did that via VPB in the OP.

3 AEQ was the only option.
