The Rat Ogre isn't necessarily a mistake. While it is an over-glorified lineman, with an Armor Value of 8 it's much less likely to leave the field. Plus, Skaven always need players designated for the Line of Scrimmage.
Just wait until it gets Guard.

on defence some people don't put him on the LOS, instead leaving him in the backfield to do nothing until the enemy ball carrier enters the zone...then blitz him...even if he doesn't knock him down then at least he's put a tackle zone on the ball carrier and his prehensile tail makes it harder to dodge away and the ST 5 makes it tough to blitz him out of the way
of course when he blitzes he'll likely fail his Wild Animal roll, or get block dice that cause a turnover (skull/both down for example).....welcome to the wonderful land of nuffle!
