His next skill should be... hey, wait a minute! We know nothing about the rest of your team, not even the race! Out with the info bub, then we might help you.

C'mon, that wasn't meant seriously, was it? Break Tackle is the Skill to go with!

You are pretty light on tackle. Strip Ball may be useful too.

BTW Guard is one of the best skills in the game. If you aren't finding it very useful then you are either using the blitzer wrong (he needs to be in the thick of things).

I know guard is a great skill, but I prefer it on linemen. On my Blitzer it just seems to get him stuck in the thickest when I want to use his manouverability.

I have been thinking of tackle or strip ball but those are mostly useful our on the flanks where the players with dodge moves around.

If he has guard leave him in the middle of the action. Give him Mighty Blow or Tackle. On doubles, Stand firm or Dauntless.

since he's getting stuck in now anyway, you might as well profit from that and give him MB, tackle or even PO...

well, but it takes doubles to give it to a lineman. I'm not arguing with you, just saying that you can't count on that, it's somethign to keep in mind.

i'd take tackle as well. it's useful everywhere, there are plenty of teams that have lots of dodge. the more tackle you have the better.

Not to mention that having it on a blitzer can allow a nearby lineman to remove tz's from the blitzer so he can blitz even tho he started the turn next to an opponent.
