Don't think it has anything to do with a need for blocking WR's. He will definitely need some superstar rushers though because the average LB will be stuffing a non superstar back pretty easily and if you can tackle a back with just a lone tackler the run game because very simple to shut down.

I don't have a pure running team so maybe I'm just unfamiliar with the concept - but in my experience I would think that a slow-built run-blocking WR would get about as much run block tech as a pure run-block TE - without the OOP penalty? If the TE takes blocking specialist they become more expensive salary-wise than the WR as well I think.

I'm probably wrong on this since every team seems to want to run blocking TEs at the WR spot - but it just seems a little odd to me. Has Bort or Corndog ever come out and say what the OOP is for TEs playing at WR?

The only answer we've ever gotten has been: 5

I'm 100% sure it's a joke, and I'm also not sure it was Bortdog

When we built BEEF it was with the philosophy that with 3 TE's and 2 FB's you have the ability to put run blocking SA's on them and make them far more useful on ST's and they can also take turns in 2 TE formations for better energy at the lead blocking position. I also thought it was cheaper though maybe I am wrong on that.

It was 5 and then Corndog increased it but didn't say how much.

How hard is it to build a pure run blocking TE?

for me? wasn't hard at all.

for you? apparently it is impossible

imo - 55 is just OK for a starter on a pretty standard roster.

55 on a small roster...ugly

Pretty sure a normal LB cannot tackle a 95 power HB one on one.

totally and completely false.

a run stopping normal LB will make those tackles no problem.

I'd say 60-70% of the time, which is good enough. That's just 1 on 1, since your entire team will be winded you'll be the taking on multiple gang tackles anyway

my HB has nearly 100 power and he gets tackled pretty easily by the average LB. It is the ability to have more than just speed and power that makes superstars very hard to tackle.

You also have 5 tackles. Can tackles play TE?

I also remember reading that SAs don't fire for OOP players when that specific SA is not available to the player who should be playing that a position.

That's correct - another reason why it appears funny to be playing a TE at WR.

I see that tackles can play BTE but not regular TE. I'll either go with 2 more tackles or 2 more FBs or one of each.

Nevermind. Stupid roster limits. Looks like 2 tackles or 2 WRs or 1 of each.
