One thing to keep in mind is that catch built those players as pure run-blockers for a Casual team that he owned until the end of this season that never threw the ball. So, they we good for that purpose, but they were not designed to pass block at all.

I'm no expert, but I like my OT's... so take with a pinch of salt.

For a start, I thought LOTs were run stuffers, not pass-rushers.

Secondly, if he is a pass rusher, I think it is essential that strength is taken up until at least 73 firstly - I know it's not seen as being a pass-rusher's key attribute by some, but I think it is essential for any D-line and O-line players to have, irrelevant of exactly their specific position... am i wrong?

Very good point

For the OP, good start. You can continue with agility up to 77 if you feel like it, but should switch to blocking soon.

Put all your equipment in temporarily in Strength to be competitive. Don't bother buying AEQ though or anything like that. Just use the free stuff.

When you are level 50+ then it is time to think of permanent equipment depending on how the sim is then.

Thank you all for your help.
