Forget Dwarves, what do Norse need for balance

good coaches will get the tackler on him...period.

For me that justifies the Dodge alone. Basically guarenteeing my Bull can get a block in every turn.

To me, I think that the best option for the Norse is to give the linemen strength access. I think that the Norse should be good at ganging up on their opposition by giving the linemen access to guard right away. They ARE a bashing team and need something to offset their extremely low armor. All other bashing teams have AV8 or AV9. I believe that a low armor is necessary for the flavor of the team, but strength access to linemen would go a long way to offset the problem.

In addition to this there is a wrinkle that I would like to throw into the mix. I think that they should change the thrower into a runner position. Give them the same stat line, but take away the passing skill access and give them agility access. Also remove the pass skill and replace it with surehands.

This will allow a Norse coach to freely develop the catcher as a safety with passblock and stripball. This way the catcher does not have to concentrate on scoring for the Norse team. Also, It would give the Norse two more agility guys on the team. This is necessary considering the AV7 that all Norse players are plagued with.

Having 2+ catchers on the roster would do pretty much the same thing except they start with catch instead of surehands. I think I like my runner option better.
