I have an item in the store with +1 block/Lead Block SA.

Anyone have a clue as to whether this skill works for an O lineman?

Sure, if he's lead-blocking.

which he probably never will be.

lol my question exactly - I guess I got the answer

Heh, dunno. Does he ever play backup fullback?

Yes, O-lineman lead block.

linemen that pull leadblock. linemen that can get past the line and block are lead blocking.

can anyone confirm that? like a link to bort saying that? I'd like to know for sure. that would be cool, if it's true.

If you want Bort specifically saying that "Yes lead block works as an Out of position SA" then you're likely out of luck. He has said other out of position SAs will work. There are links to them here:

In general, if your player can get into the situation described in the SA then it will work. If not, it won't.

Guards do pull and can lead block, you can see replays of pulling guards to do this.
i have +2 lead blocking on my RG and thus I am raising his speed/agi a bit more.

no duh. but I don't think a pulling guard is considered a lead blocker. that's what I am asking. the fullback lead blocks, can there be more than one lead blocker on any given play, no I don't think so. I could be wrong. logic tells me there is only one lead blocker on any given play, so if the fullback is in then he is it. I would like to see bort saying that a pulling guard is considered a lead blocker. I would be willing to bet money that he is not.

Bort has specifically said that linemen do lead block. I don't remember where he posted it, nor do I intend to look. There can certainly be more than one lead blocker on a play. Power runs with an extra TE and a FB, where both the TE and FB get out in front would have two lead blockers.
