I actually sent this PM to Jack Del Rio just a minute ago and realized I probably should have posted my inquiry in the forum. I just saw Jack's blocking TE and realized my Blocking TE (while getting a lot of cakes) is not doing the "athletic" things his TE was doing.

I have one and am building another one. I just saw your post in the TE thread (prob need to peruse that more often).
If you don't mind giving a little advice I would greatly appreciate it. Here are my blocking TEs. Their builds are open:

The Wall:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1282360

Main Deflector:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2004091

I want them to do this:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=478053&pbp_id=17155191

For Wall I planned on getting Agility to the 77 cap then start working on speed to 68. He doesn't even come close to doing what yours does on outside pitches so it hinders me as an OC. Any recommendation build/EQ/SA/VA wise?

For Deflector I got his Strength to 70 (was planning to work it to 73 at least) while training Blocking/Agility. What do you recommend I do from here?

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. You have a great Dot in Charlie Parker.

Thats a good build. You have more than enough strength. Jack's TE probably has natural speed in the mid to high 70s and definitely has 15 in outside blocker. That VA will help a lot as well. I'd move 5 points this offseason from workout warrior to outside blocker, you'd be looking at an extra 10% in speed and agi just from that. You might as well get agility to 77 as well since you're almost there, but speed and outside blocker are whats going to help you do that. 125 (+3) strength might be overkill for pancaking CBs and safeties.

If you're still not moving the way you want, you might take a piece of strength eq and move it over to speed. Speed and agility will get you down the field. Honestly I'd take Downfield Blocker over either workout warrior or great blocker as well. Those are definitely good 3rd and 4th choices, but +% to hold block r00lz

Good info. Jack basically said the same thing! Thanks.
