Well, my Center will be retiring at the end of the season, and wanted to give everyone a look at him since you helped me out a lot along the way. Yes, I realize probably no one has ever heard of him, but oh well, I enjoyed him.

Quick Cut: 5

Veteran Abilities
Big Heart: 4
Great Blocker: 15
Clutch: 15
Overtime Killer: 1
Pass Blocker: 15
Stonewall: 15

Things I would Change:
Agility - This is on the low end for an end of life builds. This caused most of my balance issues. I stopped at 68, then circled back later in his career to bring it to 73.
Stamina - Well I dumped my first 15 SP here. Why, well at that point in GLB, you where looking for PT.
Strength I believed I stopped at 73. Luckily for us, we had +1 in ALG's. Now, I would take it to 81.
Blocking, Same as Strength, but would stop at 77.

SA's
I like Foundation and Cut Block These served my C very well over his career. I wish I would of maxed out Run Block and Get Low, but ohh well.

Thanks for sharing the build man, what were your overall thoughts on Foundation?

I have a C at level 46ish and I am trying to decide whether I should spend any SPs on the pass Tree, I have 2xLG AEQ, so I don't know if I really need to be spending any SPs over there, can use them to max out RB and GL instead.

This is not a recruiting effort.

As for Foundation, it is a fine SA. Think of it like Strong Base. You do not need it to be great, but it definitely helps.
