Well I have tried to figure this out since day 1.The old strength versus blocking debate.

My question is if it is better to keep them relatively even or work one to its maximum and keep all of your gear on 1 stat.

Before I make the cash investment in level 24 upgrades I need to decide what direction I am going to go and let it ride so to speak...So generally would you rather have a Guard with #1-71Str,71Bl #2 61Str,80Bl or #3 80Str,61Bl?

I'd probably rather have a guard with 76 str and 65 bl. You're gonna need a lot of str to deal with strong DTs, however the blocking will help you to keep blocks instead of just having them shed blocks on you. Strength is more important as a guard just because of the builds of your opposition.

Strenght is vital to all O-line men. It's also a good idea to get all your gear upgraded to it's maximum. What you don't tell is if your G is a runblock or pass block or a little of both.

If you have focus on runblock, then I'd go with #3
If he is built to passblock, then more #1
And if he balanced between runblock and passblock, then go with what Motiak suggests. Strenght is vital to holding off a powerful DT and s Motiak says, your position demands high strenght.
