I understand that by end build they will have sufficient strength but in the first few seasons when you are capping your golds, do they work? I just fear that it will be a mass rev pancake every play. If anyone has links or experience with pass blocking O-line archetypes, love to see it. Thanks in advance.

1st 3 ssns - 532 revcakes
Next 3 ssns - 16 revcakes

Personally i wouldn't worry too much about the early ssns.

Thanks drew--that's kind of how I imagined it going. Are most of those revcakes incidental to the plays development? Seems he still didn't allow too many hurries/sacks.

Rev cakes usually happens mostly on running plays, and the STR based D-line you face early on will be too slow to get to the qb on passes anyway. Rev cakes also happen A LOT less than they did s26 and before. The huge drop-off from the first 3 seasons wasn't caused by the build, it was caused by the sim being changed. You'll see the same drop-off from s26 to s27 with every kind of O-line

Okay, thanks. I'll be making an all pass archetype line for S30 so hopefully it'll go well. Agility to the 9/10:1 cap, blocking similar and strength third?

My entire team has been all passing since season 17 with an all pass blocking O line. They were pretty good at protecting the QB imo.
