1: would it be a bad thing to skill a pestigor up to be "sticky"? meaning tack/block/tail/stand firm. Facing a bunch of AGI teams and not being able to *plan* on a warrior getting +ST/Tent I would like to be able to have 2 strong negators for the opponents top 2 receiving options (the afformentioned pestigor and the BoN).
I'd prefer to have a great blitzer (wrestle, tackle, frenzy, strip ball) to get the ball carrier. Yes, you might be holding up one if his players a little, but do you really want to dedicate a 4 skill piece for that?

2: Even after reading 36 pages i'm still a bit confused on positioning for the Warriors vs. AGI teams. I have played against 2 AGI teams and for my 3rd I'm considering placing 2 warriors on the line and two in the backfield. My thinking is that I may attract more attention on the line, get more blocks vs. AV7 opponents, and have a greater opportunity to apply pressure to the ball carrier.
I usually put one on the line and 2 rotters. The others are spread in the field, but I position them to be flexible, even with 4 movement. Also, I will always try to put DP on the passing player. I've seen them simply cage in my half and pass to the center of the cage not caring about DP. Yes, it will likely turnover, but the ball will be in their cage so they don't care. Getting the DP right is the hardest thing for me playing this team.

3: When playing AGI teams would you prefer to use your BoN to tie up a key/star receiver, or tie up multiple players? If the latter, what is the threshold? would 2 be acceptable or would you need 3+? For my first couple games I have been using blitz's (when applicable) to position 3 opponents pieces for my BoN to tie-down.
Thank you in advance for all/any responses
2 is acceptable for me, certainly if they are key players in his team. I'd rather be holding 2 good players vs 3 linemen. And with only 2 you don't need to babysit the BoN. With 3 they will start blocking so you need another player there to assist.
