I'm thinking that once I softcap strength and blocking, that I want to go ahead and focus more on run blocking. I'm thinking of "Get Low" as the main SA I want to build up. And when I mean build up, I mean put like 7 into Get low and no where else (obviously, I'll have to put some in "run block").

Is that a wise move or should I focus on another SA?

I like it. I have a L20 OT and L10 G, and don't have any evidence of one SA being better than another. But, it's my opinion that if you want to dump a bunch of pts into the run blocking tree, it would be best to do as you suggest and only put pts into RunBlock and GetLow. Hands is a waste (at least I think it is) and Pancake is more for stats than value to your team (not writing that about Pancake to start a debate. I know there's been plenty said on that already. It's jmo.) It seems the pass blocking tree is tougher, since all the abilities seem to be very important.

I think 5 on any single SA is sufficient. Any more than that and you're probably not getting much extra performance in the SA for the extra points you are spending.

My personal opinion is 7, including custom equipment. From base 6 to 7 it costs 4, and I don't see that being worth it for anybody except kickers and punters, or line general stats basically. However for things like run block, pass block and protect, I think 6+1equip is fine to spend the points on.

I like 8 as a max for the good ones, 9 with CE, really gives you that edge the competition doesnt have

get low plays a big part on the pancakes if you want to pancake a lot go ahead with that...

My G currently has 5 (w/CE) in get low and it seems to work well.
