Thought it'd be an interesting and potentially useful project to try to tap into the knowledge and experience of all the OL builders on this board and poll the community as to the most worthwhile OL SA's.
Which OL specific SA's do you all feel are the best and worst in each blocking tree?
Let's go with the following assumptions:
1. You are ranking these SA's with a Lvl 50+ OL player in mind who has 20 SP at his disposal that his owner has told him to dump all into the SA tree. Those crazy owners.
2. Line General is automatic 5 for centers and Protector is an automatic 5 for Left Tackles, so no need to include those. This is meant to help with the gray area SA's...the foundations and the absorb pains.
3. The order in which these are listed below bears no semblance to my actual feelings on an initial ranking or anything like that.
Feel free to share why you feel something is good or not, but please lets not turn this into a flame fest. I would like to keep this just as uncluttered as possible.
Rank the SA's in each tree with 5 being the best, 1 the worst and if you feel it is absolutely worthless, give it a 0.
Pass Tree
Absorb Pain
Foundation
Pass Block
Shock Block
Strong Arm
Run Tree
Run Block
Cut Block
Hands
Get Low
Pancake
I will keep track of everyone's replies and will share the results, updating this post once a day or so. Also noted will be # of times an SA is given a 5, as well as given a 0.
Gentlemen and ladies, start your ranking!
