Offensive line attributes

[oldman]

What are the most important attributes for offensive lineman? I have two guards who are 79 overall and 75 overall. The 75 has higher ratings in awareness, strength, Run Blocking and Pass Blocking. I'm still leaning towards the 79 though because of the higher overall rating. What other attributes should I look at before I make a decision?

I look at strength, awareness, run and pass block, along with the their blocking strength and footwork (for both run and pass). IMO the other ratings don't matter...including injury, I have yet to lose an o-lineman to injury. Ratings in this game are kind of tricky because each player is rated equally in each category. Which means you can have a player with a high overall rating, but isn't up to par in the ratings that matter for his position.

Rbs and Pbs mean the ability to hold a block, Rbf and Pbf mean the ability to find a block, RBK and PBK mean little unless simming from what I heard

DOH! I should have known that about that standing for Block! Thanks for the info.

Pass block attributes are irrelevant for tackles. A 50 rated tackle can hold the pocket against a 90 DE in this game

Check their Pursuit ratings too. It doesnt effect their Overall rating, but if its at least in the 60's it will make them way more aggressive in blocking downfield.
