He seems to be quite ineffective at blocking the DT's out there against the run. Against the pass, he is golden. Thoughts?

It's the blocking. I've had the same problem with guys on my team. 100+ Strength, only 70ish blocking. I would try and get that blocking up to 85. Secondly, if you are ready to put points into SAs, Run Block and Get Low are very good run blocking SAs.

Thanks Catcher. Would you reccomend moving equipment from STR to blocking, or just ensure SP and future equipment goes towards it?
