I'm far and away the best LOT we have on the roster... all others have my agility at the most, and speed below 30. But I thought that my build was ok, at least... I gave up a sack to a FS and a DE in the last game.

Any help is appreciated

vision needs some work, then blocking/agility

IMO it is all agility.

Instead of 58 stamina, if you had just 48 you'd have saved 20 SP and could have agility at 70+ right now. I'd just take agility up now

IMO, you should link to the plays.

1) It looks like you were distracted by a cheerleader bending over to pick up her pom pom while the FS ran past you.

I don't get it. I've seen plays where the LT runs across the formation to block the LDE, yet this LT doesn't move until the FS is 2 yards past him.

I've seen this before with low agility builds. But the clown might be right.

That looks like a failed vision check to me.
Even with good builds it happens.
Plus you don't look like an OT, you look like a weak guard.

It should also be noted he has zero in Protector. Assuming that is because you were previously playing RT, at least try to pick up a piece of AEQ with it so you have something.

Both low agility and some failed vision checks. Train vision, third cap agility.

agility/protector. you could also probably afford to swap a piece of strength eq for blocking eq

Protector my man. It's a cheap and powerful bonus for you right now. Get 2 pts of it with your next level and save the 1 SP, then with the level after that add 2 pts of agility. Start training your agility/speed right now and switch to vision/con once your agility is one training session below a point bump. Then, next season right after you do your boosts and cap agility to 68, you can do the training bump to 69. Make sure you look for some protector AEQ sometime in the future, but since that is a roll of the dice you should put your next 6 SP after capping agility into protector.

About the vision checks... in the last game, I let up 2 of the 3 hurries, and the one that I didn't let up was a guy shooting the gap between myself and the LG (his assignment, but still in my area).

It appears as though once a blocker engages a defender, all other blockers (even those whose assignment said blocker might be) ignore that defender. In both of the hurries that I gave up, the defender was "chipped" by the LG or someone, and I ignored them. I wonder if that's a bug of sorts? Or if it's just more evidence for a failed vision check?
