I just rolled a piece of AEQ with +2 STR and +1 Pancake. I was going to take this and replace a piece of AEQ with +1 Blocking and +1 Pass Block.

Now the question is should I keep this piece pure STR?

If I keep this piece as pure STR then my player's ratings will be: STR at 105 and Blocking at 81. My player is working as a LT due to his Protector rating of 7 (4 points from AEQ).

He is currently level 54. AGI is 73 and Speed is 53.

Should I go pure STR or put the points into Blocking? Should I stay at LT or should I consider moving to RT? My team runs equally to both sides so the Pancake rating will have plenty of chances to be activated no matter which side I am on. Would 81 blocking be too low for my level? My player is currently in AA.

I have been moving all my eq to strength for most my O linemen. I have left one item in my older OTs agility to push agility to 80. My newer players will have close to 80 agility naturally.

To answer your question I would buy that item and spend all the points on strength.

A LT does not need a pancake piece imo. And 81 blocking is too low. I'd rather have 90/90 than 100/80.

What if the team is running to the left side a lot, would a pancake piece be of more value then? If not any suggestions on something else to look for? I feel like I need to replace the +1 Blocking/+1 Pass Block piece as it is not bringing much to the table. Pass Block is the cheapest of SAs to raise and at this level a +1 rating boost is not much. Maybe Foundation or Shock Block?

I am also torn on the STR vs Blocking. You see so many people on both sides of the coin. Everyone just needs to agree on this and make it simple!!!
