Here's my profile:

Strength: 57.86 Blocking: 55
Speed: 15.22 Tackling: 17
Agility: 23.35 Throwing: 7
Jumping: 10 Catching: 9
Stamina: 32.16 Carrying: 7
Vision: 21.1 Kicking: 10
Confidence: 21.6 Punting: 9

SA: 2 1 0 0 0
3 3 3 3 3

I've hit the softcap for STR/BLK, and have my equip split btwn the two. Currently training speed, and will do so until it hits at least 20.
I'm a backup for both LOT/ROT, and up till now, this guy's really been performing well, despite being consistently outmatched levelwise. My contract is up early next season, and while I guess it would be nice to start, I'm really digging my role as a backup to both LOT and ROT, getting lots of p.t. and competing (successfully) with DE's 5-7 lvl's above me. Point being, don't know if I'm ready to fully focus on a run blocker or if I should become more balanced.

Any opinions on what direction to take over the next 4-5 levels would be appreciated. I have no idea how valuable SA's are for a lineman, and if so, which ones...so, my tendency right now is to do nothing there. My two inclinations would be:
*bring STR/BLK each to 60 base
*bring AGI/VIS/CON to the 30s.

I know which way I'm leaning, but would really dig any thoughts. Thanks

Get vision up next. Make a pass blocking OT. A quality pass blocking OT is a premium in this game. Not everyone can build an OT that can shut down a well-built DE.

and vision would be more important than speed/agility? will that really help me block speed rushers?

Hit the 60 base for long term benifits

how do you recommend sa distribution for that?

I would hit the 60 base as said above.

Great build by the way.

If you are playing back up for both spots, I would put the premium on strength.

It seems strength is more for run blocking(RT), but it's more beneficial to have higher strength than blocking being less, if that makes any sense.

I would just keep up what you are doing and when your contract runs out, feel free to shoot me a PM. I can always use a tackle with an agent who has his mind right.
