It seems they are only lead blocking.

Logically, they should only use lead block awareness. But who fucking knows what the sim actually uses

They might have in QB running situations that are now out of favor.

So if the QB runs to the outside the HB uses lead block?

I would assume 90%+ of the time the hb, and the fb for that matter, is lead blocking. I guess maybe there is a play where the guard pulls and leads and the fb fills his spot..but not sure GLB is that creative.

Actually I think runs up the middle are run block awareness for FBs, not lead.

Too bad the sim doesn't run based on your hunches

But as you pointed out...nobody knows for sure anyway.

I am on the "FB only needs Lead Block" train, because on pretty much every play he is "lead blocking" for the HB/QB, also on inside runs. SI/WI formations where he blocks to the non-play side are the only ones the I (my opinion) think/guess need run awr.
On the pitch plays that doesnt even matter. Only if you wanna go high on Strong I HB Dive/ Weak I HB Dive Strong you might be in trouble with no run block awr. But then again...who actually knows
