My OT has 72 block, 69 strength and 62 agility [BASE]. Im building him to play at right tackle.

I'm not sure now which ability to take higher, most likely agility to 3rd cap and then blocking?

The other issue is equipment. It was originally split between STR and BLK 50:50. I got a piece of advanced equip with +3 agility which now has +5 agility and +2 Run Block.

The 3 other pieces of equipment are +5 blk. +5 str and +2 blk/+2str. Should I keep this equipment and/or what would be the ultimate equipment set up?

Thanks.

Well at the RT position, you really want to get strength up as Bort/defenses are slowly adjusting back toward stronger linemen. Despite all this "omg agile DEs are owning" from season 6, I noticed a significant decrease in my run blocking ability when I moved from 85 str to 75 str in favor of getting my blocking up high.

I'd build your blocking/agility up until you aren't giving up sacks, then focus on strength. I think it plays a larger part than people have been giving it credit for in the run blocking game. If you give up sacks, then I guess keep going on.

Anyway, if those are numbers with equipment, I'd immediately take str/blk up to 68 base. Your agility is more than sufficient FOR NOW while you develop the two main attributes for a run focused ROT
