2 HB's , and 1 FB lvl 10. 1 of the HB's is lvl 15 and has over 50 strength, decent agility/speed/ vision. Blocking is 12.5. How much does strength make up for blocking? I am wondering if the level gap on the FB who has 33 blocking 33 strength, but low agility and vision should make me consider some creative moves like I am. Would the HB with 50 strength do better in the FB role than the FB? It would allow more playing time for both HB's and would make a strong rusher at FB for the short yardage plays(he has 43 broken tackles already). Or does the blocking stat so low over ride the high strength number for blocking effectiveness? Considering starting the HB at FB.

Blocking is for sticking blocks. Strength helps the blockers not get pancaked or pushed back. They go hand in hand.

If a person was really strong and wanted to hit homeruns but he had not batting skill do you think he would do well in a homerun derby?

If the high str HB doesn't pancake the defender right away, chances are, the defender will shed the block quickly (depending on the defender's specs, of course).

Thanks, we're really overpowered today so I may give it a try for experiments sake, but I am leaning towords changing it back now. thanks for some input.
