Have Great Blocker and Pass Blocker

with the change to outside blocker...what do you think is 3rd best?

Red Zone Freak for bonus where it matters most?
Still Outside Blocker?
Showboat Blocker?

Something else?

Thanks

showboat blocker if you get pancakes
red zone freak if you get your entire team in on it
+0.3% strength if you are a beast and want to abuse your push
+0.5% vision if you don't have a mentor as it looks like vision is becoming more important
goal line blocker if you are having major push-it-across issues for some reason
clutch if you force starters on third down and are one of them..
heart of a champion if your team is a playoff lock but you know you'll be facing some beastly guys across the line in the playoffs
second wind if you don't have a line general at C and are ending the games in the 70s energy and don't want to push stamina up right now
slow starter if you get a lot of snaps and your team can afford avoiding your player in the first quarter (ex, rush right all 1st quarter when you are LG, so you aren't a big liability, then switch to left slams in the second half)


People get annoyed when owners try to control player builds... but I think my above list basically highlights that VAs being successful depend entirely on what your team does and what they want from your player. Ask your owner and listen to him!

I think I have a man-crush on Octowned.

I disagree strongly with .5% vision.


I'm becoming a fan of second wind for a lot of players, regardless of position.

My plan for my Center's first 50 VA:

15 Natural Leader
5 Second Wind
15 Showboat Blocker
15 .3% Strength


EDIT: Still debating whether I'll go for the strength boost or Showboat Blocker first....currently undecided.

I am interested in the same Q as I for the first time have a G passing the 24lvl. Any other suggestions?

Octowned had a thorough answer and immagonnawin had some thoughts on second wind but doesn't own a G, from what I see he has a C. Anybody tried SW on a G for instance?
