LOT, LG, ROT: +0.5% blocking, "pass blocker"
C, RG: +0.5% blocking, "showboat blocker"

Unless your C and RG don't get many pancakes, or your team does stuff like pitches a lot, can change up the ROT to outside blocker, but not many teams pitch more than they pass.

For a third option, I'm not really sure. If you're a team player, moving to motivational speaker isn't a bad idea, or if you really only care about your guy, +0.3% strength though basically worthless isn't that bad once base is high.

Clutch, Red Zone Freak, Goal Line Blocker, etc., are all viable options but I wouldn't consider them until maxing out my first two above.

0.3% of str for most Cs should still be equivalent to about 1 lvl 32 eq piece. I understand that most people look at it compared to the old numbers, but let's face it, 4 more str is still solid, and with the lack of other choices, I still think this is a viable choice.

What actually makes this an even more reasonable choice, is that many people will consider it worthless and won't be getting it. Before you were choosing it to keep up, but now if you choose it, it's likely that you are getting it while the defender is not, making it an actual advantage.

Yeah, my C is at... 88.28 base, putting 15 workout warrior to a +4 strength value.

Still, I feel I'd rather have motivational speaker or clutch or SOMETHING else, +4 sure it is hard to come by but I don't think it makes a big difference.
