What are you taking? First Step, Route Run, Spin, Juke, Head Fake, Lower the Shoulder, Dive For Yards, etc. This position just had a ton of doors opened!

Both mine are pure rushing FBs, so LTS. FBs already have Dive 4 Yards, btw.

My build is going toward 120 speed / 80 agility, and isn't TOO strength based, so I think I'm going to go with Spin.

Mine's the exact opposite. 120 strength, 94-100 carrying, depending on if I take Steady Grip, 80+ agility, 77-80 speed, tons of power through. Pretty much pure short yardage/red zone.

This is what I'm doing to my level 36. I was rethinking it when it seemed like scat Va was going away, but that's not the case, so spin it is.

I just hope the playbook opens up a little for more FB outside runs where his 70+ STR/CAR can put some hurt on CBs.

Btw, any idea about the difference between LTS and % Break Tackle AEQ? LTS is a flat bonus, perhaps? Most SAs seem to be.

Spin. Since SYM is on the nerfing block, putting those VA pts in quick feet might be a better option. FBs generally have pretty good agility anyways, so it can't hurt. LTS is also easier to find in AEQ... realistically, it shouldn't be too difficult for an offensive FB to have 8+ in PT/LTS/spin and +25% break tackle chance.

My build is going toward 135 speed and 90 agility, so I'm going with route run. He already has FS AEQ.

That's exactly what I'm hoping. I'll only have 75 str/carry, but with 120 speed, 80 agility, +% break block, power through, bruiser, spin, I think the build will be an outside the box way to do damage. I just didn't want the pure str/carry, even if that is what is best right now.

Scat archetype I assume?

Nice I only went to 78/61.5, and made a conscious decision early to fore go ALGs on agility so the build could perform earlier in his career. If I were building a standard long-term build like I've done on... every other build I've done... I'd have gone 78 / 74 probably

What's great is that we can keep the scat back VA and nobody else will ever get it
