I have this pair of nice started Woodie-Linemen prospects:
https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=10067279
and
https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=10067280
and I'm wondering, how to develop them... Think I'll give them [Block] with their next skill, just to keep them alive (as I'm afraid of them every turn, they are on the pitch ), but afterwards - would you recommend to make them a pair of frightening Cornerbacks (with [PassBlock], [Catch], maybe (Leap] (does Leap work while using Pass Block?) and on a double maybe [Nerves of Steel]), or do you have other ideas to develop them a little "special"? Or maybe just develop them in a all usual WoodieLinemanWay???
'd love to hear some (experienced) ideas |

Blodge first. I like +ag as ball retrievers on woodie teams, so maybe sure hands/leap after that. |

I would not give them catch. Randy_Moss has the right idea with leap and possibly sure hands. On doubles, give them guard, then leap and sidestep and forget about sure hands. |

leap works on the pass block actions. |

No, that's a rhetorical question. |

Blodge first, then shore up weakness on your team. You cant go wrong with leap+guard or leap+sure hands. |

the best course of action is keeping them alive, then worry about skill picks once you get to 51 spp |

According to my playbook I have very defined roles for wardancers:
1. crowd surf specialist: frenzy, and possibly dauntless, side step
May get spiced up with mighty blow and assume hard hitting duties
2. sacker: strip ball, tackle
Which means unless both are agile 5, it is needed to have a ball retriever. Ideally a retriever is blodge, sure hands, leap, agility5. |

There's kind of only one way to build +AG woodie linemen:
+AG
Dodge
Block
Leap
Sure Hands
Side Step
Every skill here is a single, and none of them are disputable in my opinion. I'd turn down any double, as these skills turn your everyday lineman into a force to be reckoned with. |

ARGH - now I have a real problem:
One of the guys already has [Block] now, but the second rolled [+ag] for his third SkillRoll...
He could Dodge through the enymy lines as hell - but is AG6 a lot more usefull as AG5??
I really don't know, what to do... AG6 would be a cool gimmick, but not much more, I think, right? nevertheless, I don't know if I could cope with discarding a +ag roll^^
Your opinions??? |

I'll be the first to say it. Jimmy is right - take the goddamn ag6. It's a whole lot of fun. |

AG6 for sure! Then Wrestle over Block, so you can sack with him. Like a 3rd WD, only +2 on dodges instead of Leap. |

AG6 -> blodge sure hands leap
AG5 -> wrackle leap dodge
AG6 isn't really (much) better for most things, but for recovering a ball that's dropped in a cage, it's perfect.
Also, as much as a grab dancer may be fun, Mb was the way to go there. =) |
