depends on the level
my guy is a slow build
he is lvl 12 with 74+ str (with equip, 66 without), 48+ blocking, and currently training agility

i play to get his agility pretty high so i can block against the strong Dt and the agile DT

My G has triple-capped Str/Blk, and will have Agi double capped by the start of next season.

It will be something like 73/73/61 without equip at the start of next season, and at that point I will stop putting in points. All equip in Str/Blk - I figure a blocking of 80+ will counteract a DT with agility 80+.

Keep pushing strength though - you will end up facing DTs with 100 strength also!

For OTs, yes. Has been since the beginning of GLB (see:Lawrence Jackson, Reggie White).

80 STR and BLK doesn't do shit when you can't even get your hands on the guy you're trying to block.

true.

My level 38 G (playing at ROT) with 42 speed and 59 agility gave up 2 sacks to a level 37 DE--both times my guy couldn't even touch him. The DE's build isn't open but I'm guessing he is at 80+ agility.

I'm slowbuilding a new guard and concentrating on hitting...

strength to 60...around 70-75 at level 25 from level bonuses
blocking to 50...~60 at level 25
agility to 60
speed to 48+

To directly answer your question, I'd rather have the first option, assuming the guard is about level 25.

This looks to be similar to what iMan is doing.

The starting DE on my team has 85+ agility and 65+ speed. Tackles need to have agility at least close to the DE's he blocks or hope his team runs a lot.
