Was rolling for AEQ when I got a Lead Block piece for my STOP Center. Normally I'd ignore it because it reads as thus;

This FB is adept at leading a rusher through the line. The Lead Block Skill gives him a bonus to blocking and pushing defenders when he is lead blocking.


But it got me thinking the following questions;

A.) Does this only apply to FB's since FB is the only dot listed?
B.) Does this SA require a LOS since it reads "through the line"?
C.) Would this SA work on ST's since there's no LOS and would a Back Wedge dot be considered a 'Lead Blocker' for this purpose?

I ask because, except for FB's, I've never considered this SA so I really don't know the answers. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure I remember that any SA that mentions LOS does not work on STs.

lukin83: Does the Lead Block SA work on kick/punt returns? I am pretty sure I saw this answered in a previous Q&A, but I have not been able to locate it.

Bort: It'll work for players leading near the returner.

i dodnt seem to recall ever seeing lead block be worth any thing. I too remember the LOS quote. and that the blocker had to be specifically leading the runner. otherwise it would have been an overpowering SA for olinemen. and when was the last time you saw it on a well built lineman?

Well, I have other important AEQ to get first (like HB% pieces) but I just might give it a go.
