This thread is really bad, and I don't even know where to start.
First... yes, when you build don't think GLb, as in don't think ALG's. However you still want to focus on being the best at a few things while you level. If your dot is too balanced you won't excel at anything. You need to figure out which attributes will offer the most bang for your buck towards your end build goals and towards immediate winning. If you round out too much your dot will be worthless and interchangeable.
As far as O-line is concerned.
Awareness isn't that important. No matter what type you build, Balance, Power, and Technique should all be higher than awareness. That being said, awareness isn't just knowing who you should block, it's also adjusting to what your teamates do. If the RB decide to take a cutback lane how quickly does your G or whatever realize that and shift his blocking to account for that? Or does he push the DT directly in the RB's path?
Technique will not only control how well you engage the block but also how far away you can successfully engage from, and it appears as if technique plays a role in the quality of your blocks as well. You won't ever get the chance to push someone back or pancake them unless your technique is good enough.
Power is just how far back you can push a blocker when you are winning the hold block roll, I also have a feeling its how much you can resist being pushed back when losing the hold block roll. It's also involved in pancakes if your technique roll is good enough.
Footwork and quickness are crucial in containing speedy edge rushers. You have to be able to get out there fast enough to at the very least be a speed bump in front of them.
Balance is really important in the case that you are losing a blocking technique roll, not just in keeping your balance, but also in regaining it quicker when you are knocked off balance.
Etc. etc. etc.
Here's my pass blocking OT.
