Haven’t played in a while.

I’ll probably play pee wee but will eventually do a regular team.

How much does blocking really matter for run blocking. If I do a team that rarely passes, will neglecting blocking hurt me?

I'll take your question at face value. EVERY offensive line, regardless of tactical scheme, will need to have players whose 2nd highest attribute is "blocking". When you run, you'll also want a blocking TE with "high" blocking. If you're going to go run heavy, you'll also several WRs who have some blocking skills.

The rest is above my pay grade.

Fwiw... Blocking is basically how "sticky" your blocker is.

All Strength might allow you to shove a dot once, but it's Blocking that allows your blocker to actually stay between the defender and the ball carrier.
