So on Screen plays, are the blocking checks made against Passing skills during the whole play?

Or does Run Blocking take over once the catch is made?

Does anyone know for sure or is all this a guess?

Thank you.

Pass blocks until the throw is made I'd assume.

run blocking after the catch absolutely.

not sure about when ball is in the air, but who cares about those 5 ticks

I asked Corndog to confirm through a PM but didn't get a reply. I don't think it's game breaking to know what checks are made on designed plays like this.

I'm going to run some tests to find out because I think we're all guessing.

Lead blocking and run blocking ?

I think lead blocking and run blocking are utilized on every play. Lead blocking is used when there is no defender in the immediate area and the blocker needs to scan the down field to find a blocker, while run blocking is used to find a defender in the immediate area. The radius of the run blocking awareness, I do not know.

Its just best to assume both all the time at this point.

But ofc. Lead blocking is most important when.... Lead blocking.
