Warrior General Games

After Great Blocker and Pass Blocker are maxed out, what would be good options?

I don't think he pulls enough to use Outside Blocker. Not enough pancakes to use Showboat Blocker.

If you don't like the above, ... Red Zone Freak / Goal Line Blocker are nice if your team likes to run inside the red-zone. You could get your C/LG on these VAs, and run inside weak. Singleback, weak I, I, strong I FB, shotgun, proset HB/FB all have inside runs that hinge of the LG, and often the defense on the goalline/redzone will be cheating strong side and you can pull a switch there and find some bigger holes.


That would need to be a team decision, it's not great for individual performance but I like those sort of ideas if you're dry on stuff to do

It's a terrible position for VAs. I've picked the same two you have, and after that ... blah.

Stuff like Heart of a Champion, Hometown Hero and Second Wind starts to look good ... ack.

Am I crazy in considering Swagger or Quick?

I'd rather have workout warrior than quick. Clutch is a reasonable option as well

I put Goalline Blocker and Clutch.

Goalline Blocker - I've seen the stats that show there aren't enough plays run to make it worthwhile, but the weight of those plays in terms of the number of points gained from them is enough for me to give my LG a boost there (probably better done on the whole OL as a group though).

Clutch - But only if you have a ton of points in SAs. My lvl 65 has 156 in there in total (whoops), for example.

Also I have considered/had in the past Hometown Hero, Workout Warrior, and I would put in Heart of Champ if I was on a really good team. I now wonder if Downfield Blocker could work, and if Red Zone Freak is viable. And always worth putting a couple in Motivational Speaker for this position.

I'm considering trying HoaC this season, since I'm kinda "meh" on Clutch and there aren't too many other choices. (Everything decent has been named in this topic.) My player is a C, so I have Natural Leader to invest in first, but the lack of options is apparent for all of us on the OL. If I do that, I'll let you know how well that VA-buffed 80+ Confidence works.

Personally, I like Second Wind too. I don't think any of us really know how much Stamina/Energy affects our performance, other than "Stamina is a stat. Stats are good." and it's a common belief that finishing the game with high (80+?) Energy is "good enough." Is it really? Why not 95+? Maybe that drop from 100 to 90 causes a more substantial decrease in stats than we think it does. Even if not, getting a beefy Energy refill for the 4th quarter, when everyone else is also tired, is bound to lead to good things.
tl;dr version: Stamina/Energy might have a bigger effect on performance than it's commonly believed and I think Second Wind is a good VA.

LG is a great position to put a few points into motivational speaker.

I'd do the obvious 2 in mospeak and 2 or 3 in second wind, then probably start on goal line until I had 5 or so and then consider heart of champion.

My experiences with second wind are that you want to run away from it as quickly as possible. I am pretty sure it's bugged.
