Warrior General Games

im trying to decide with my new reciving te. i dont know if i should go the strength agility route... or with all the changes speed agility route. i plan on my guy being mostly a reciving te..

I say go with speed and agility...

I went speed and agility and wish I went str and agility. Strength helps you both as a blocking TE and a carrying TE in season 4 will strength factoring in more on breaking tackles. You will be an effective blocker and your YAC will be through the roof.

At least, that's what I'd imagine would happen with my guy if I didn't dump all those points into speed.

Screw Blocking!!

Were receiving TE's.. Damn it!!

It very hard to break tackles.. But If your ahead of the defender than the chances of breaking the tackle are increased.. in addition when you lvl up your blocking and strength stat raises

Speed agility

Speed/agility

Screwing blocking. Never add to blocking. I am on pace for over 120 pancakes this season, and I have never added any to blocking.

Strength influences pancakes, blocking influences your ability to hold a block against a strong block breaking DE.

That's because you are playing in a low level league with a level 28 TE. Even receiving TE's should focus just a bit on blocking to help out their team's run game.

Why not Strength/Agility/Speed over just picking 2 of the 3?

I disagree... We have Guards and OT's to block... TE job is to make sure the DE or whatever does not hit the HB in the backfield (TFL's)...

Our role is to move chains on critical downs..

A TE job is to make sure his team does the best it is capable of doing and if the RB gets talked for a 1 yard gain by the DE you were suppose to block then the TE isn't doing his job, blocking is important and strength is important if you are a TE I don't care if you are a recieving TE or a blocking TE you are a TE and need strength and blocking, if you want to take those two attributes out you might as well make a WR.

Look at the title.. its about these dude making a receiving TE... asking where should he put his SP.. Strength/Agility or Speed/Agility.. Receiving TE's NOT Blocking or Balance TE's..

But Receiving TE's don't need to concentrate on Strength/blocking as much..

Also theirs a lot of Variables.. how often is the TE involved in the passing game... how often does your Team run?? Are your opponents SCRUBS... TACTICS and BUILDS..

As of now I have not seen a TE post amazing pancake numbers like offensive line men...

Either way some receiving TE could be better weapons than WR's given the right circumstances..

I really don't care much for blocking... If you want to make a big deal about blocking and add a lot of strength for that attribute you might as well make a O-linemen.

Until they have offensive AI in place to play specific players (as in agent-specific) in specific formations based on down and distance, I think you're doing your HB and your team a disservice if you don't build at least a balanced TE.

Re: the OP, I would say strength/agility, while not neglecting blocking altogether.

Just because you make a TE with a WR build doesn't mean its a bad thing. For all you know, the code could favor the TE with lower attributes, because he's "expected" to have more in strength/blocking. Not to mention, you're facing defenders with entirely different attributes across the board. Also, you're running entirely different routes. A receiving TE is far more than just another WR, and imo could be even more valuable with the right SA's and situations for clutch downs.

It is obviously what your team needs, but I feel speed > strength, just to get more open. Good luck having enough strength to break enough tackles to go far, anyway! Just catch the ball at the down line

Exactly... I would even say now Agility is more important than speed these season.. It means getting open or getting to the right person to block all these is mixed with vision as well..
