I am building an OT and a G, the two are run blockers, I do not have much experience with O-Line and would like to know what's the best VA's for both, thanks in advance.

Personally, I go with get low, cut block, and foundation for run blockers. Foundation is a penalty SA for Gs but I still took it to 10 on my higher level Gs because they do have to pass block sometimes.

Oh, and I usually go with first step as my extra SA.

he askin for VA advice, not SA.

I would offer, but I am not sure I would give the best advice.

I think the no brainer is pass blocker.

for G's maybe pulling lineman.

I tend to add showboat blocker to my o-linemen but I have no idea if they actually work

Oops, my bad. lol

Pass blocker seems to be popular. I just realized both my top Gs don't have it.

Quick is also popular for my O linemen. As most of them get closer to 90 natural agility, I wonder if I need it anymore.

Stonewall is another popular VA for linemen. I have it on most.

Great blocker is another popular VA that some of my O linemen have invested in.

Second wind is very popular but I assume taking stamina slightly higher can make this unnecessary.

Some out of the box VAs are redzone freak and goalline blocker. Now these don't activate but a few times a game if your offense can get to the redzone but when they stack it can be amazing to watch. The problem is that the defense has goalline stand which is two times better.

Thanks, I was just wondering if I was choosing the right VA's and if they were the best to choose , I have Great Blocker, Pass Blocker and Stone Wall in my O-line, another question if it is not asking too much.

What is needed to not take reverse pancakes? what attributes can prevent this from happening, since I have reasonable strength and agility for my lvl and take a lot of reverse pancake.
