Warrior General Games

How do you guys normally like to have your roster set for OL? 3 G and 3 Tackles to rotate or just keep 2 and save the roster spots? Thanks for any advice!

Balanced team/lean run

1 S* lean run center
2 lean run pulling guards
1 lean run (power) guard
2 lean run (power) tackles
1 lean run pulling tackle

They all have around 45 pass block tech and pass block awareness...no pass block power. Too expensive to have a true combo O-Linemen.

Notice I have 2 pulling guards but only 1 pulling tackle. Reason being, a pulling guard is much more important than a pulling tackle because they have to be more of a pulling specialist, further to run, need more speed. You can get away with subbing a power run blocking tackle for a pulling tackle because they don't need as much speed and/or lead block awareness because they are already outside.

3 guards/tackles allows you to go low on stamina and use subs.

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I appreciate it!

I like 4 G/OT and 2 C so I have enough guys to block on kick returns as well.

I run 2 offenses with no backups on the O-Line that work just fine, the only disadvantage may be on special teams.

Ya that seems to be the big pain. Not having the extra ST's help.

Yeah but how much cap space is the special teams help worth? Both those teams are playing for championships.

And their energy never goes below 10 the entire game?

Not all 10 of my OL are starters. Some are low level guys just to play ST tbqh.

Bad advice is bad.

Power lines are terribad. No reason to carry a S* C. It's cheaper to carry 2 centers if you're so inclined.

I personally go 1 C, 3 G, and 3 OT.

Thanks for the discussion. The varying opinions are always interesting. Will look at some things this offseason. Thanks! I am looking forward to getting this team thru the progressions to start over with all the advice I have gotten. I will still suck, but it will be fun to use everything I didn't know 2 months ago!

I dunno, but I definitely don't mind a return td.
