Is a pulling tackle worth building anymore? After the recent changes, very few plays pull the tackle now. I'll probably adjust my tackles to pure power blockers now.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'm not sure that its worth it anymore, I'm most likely going to respec all my OTs next offseason.

The only largely used running play that has a pulling tackle is Big I, QB Rollout Left.

I'll probably create 2 new power blocking tackles and replace my current pulling tackles next season.

They also pull in trips pitch left, the new strong I counter, and big I counter left, all good plays. I might only take pull specialist to silver on my OTs and sacrifice a bit of speed for intimidation+silver beat down, because that SA is amazing on kickoffs

I'm running a balanced team so I'm replacing Gold pull specialist with Gold Leverage. Tackles are already close to the outside so they don't need as much speed as guards....especially the ones pulling across the line, usually the RG.

Hmm, my rookie team was going to have some ridiculously fast pulling tackles, not sure if that's worth it anymore. I'll have to see if that speed is useful in other aspects for the OT position.

I stupidly just took pull specialist on all my OTs... gonna respect two of them end of season and take another SA. One I'll probably leave with gold pull specialist for certain plays as well as screens.

Yeah I did the same, the builds I have for them are way out there, and would be terrible with a shift to power focus, so thank god I didn't boost them. Need to figure that out while I can still get 50 chemistry when adding them to the team.

I'm gonna cut my 2 pulling tackle and create 2 new ones. Better do it now while chemistry is low.
