Hey guys, I was hoping to get some strategy advice on my center. I just hit Lvl 16, and haven't yet upgraded my equipment or used my SP. Most of my equipment is in Strength with a couple points in Blocking and my custom equipment is in the Run tree. He normally does pretty well, but we had some pressure from blitzing MLBs lately. I don't know if it's something I can fix because they've been coming right between me and the Guard while each of us already is on a block.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This one is a pain. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it. Having a speed of 25 and agility/ vision at 30+ appears to help. However, What it frequently comes down to is that if the RG doesn't have a good block on the NT your C won't clip to go to the MLB. It also doesn't help that the MLB bullet doesn't actually appear to be a blitz play, rather it looks like an action of opportunity.

So, basically raise your speed vision and agility, and get your RG to up his vision too. The RG has to know to grab the NT so the C can get the MLB.

vision is your first priority

That sounds like sense. Here's a link to a couple specific plays that illustrate the problem if it helps. The second one occurs right after this one.

ran over your left guard and the center....looks like you pulled to help out on the NT and the LG couldn't pick up the MLB on the blitz....check out your team mates...it might be their problem....but def up the vision
