im mildly curious if jumping is of any value to a guard. in real football training jumping could help with explosive blocks from a starting position or when a gurad lunges forward to pancake someone. but i'm not sure if it is practical or useful in GLB.

anyone tried this? mine is still stuck at 10 and my pancakes are pretty decent (lvl 49 g).

just curious after watching a sports science show where Kris Allen got to block from a 3-point stance against a 'regular guy' in pads. it was pretty freaking awesome seeing how powerful these guys are against an average joe. Kris is 6'6" and 350 lbs. and the average joe was 5'8" and 160 lbs.

you know where it might be useful? cut block.

Bort's mentioned that jumping doesn't help o-line much.

I don't see it helping cut blocking. My cut blocker does fine with 8 jumping, 5 CB. Activates at least twice per game, takes the dude out for the duration of the play.

i think jumping helps the online less than not much, e.g. not at all.

It helps. After turnovers, some jumping will let you get that diving tackle.

cut blocking is from agility or maybe vision since it say when overmatch, OT need to take out defender quickly. jumping doesnt do anything cept for CB,WR,defenders, punting.

I play with a G that has a good jump level and he has panecakes for everyone.

Except my 50 FS with over 50 jumping hasn't even had a diving tackle in ages. Worthless attribute for O-Line.

like maybe once a season if you're lucky. not worth any points or training.
