+AG Hobgoblin rolled a double

....as the topic says

was thinking maybe an interceptor, catch and passblock or nerves of steel

though dodge could be good, but of course tackle is the pain then

so any other suggestions?

It was double 5 so the movement choice is there as well

Pass block IMO

Pass? or do u already have a passer.

It depends how you play your team.
If you use a running play, give him dodge to both protect and dodge around.
If you want a passing game, pass would be a great choice and then make him a passer.
Or if you have a passer allready you could make him a catcher and give him NOS or catch, but i would not really do this as he becomes way to obvious target this way.

I would have taken dodge, but as i said it depends on your playing style.

too many blitzers about with tackle for my liking

passing play just isn't going to happen with chaos dwarfs

i am liking the thought of turning him into an interceptor and giving him catch, he can then double up as a catcher for others to quick pass to get a completion as well

I took Accurate with my 4AG Hobbo and I have never looked back.

You may not use him all the time, but the possibility of throwing a Long Bomb on a 4+ was too much to turn down. Plus, I already had a Bull Centaur with Catch when my hobbo rolled that.

Another possibilty is Catch, for when he gets Pass Block with his next skill.

Another intriguing possibilty is Leap....

Oh CATCH. I like the interceptor idea...very Sneaky Hobgob charcterful thing. "eeeh...i'll 'ave dat!"

Nerves of Steel would be great for a passblocker too ... that would allow you to put a tacklezone on the thrower or catcher and still make an interception on a 5+

I don't really see the pass block route working against decent coaches. Sure if you've got at least 2 it can cause problems but one decent interceptor isn't going to be given the chance.

I'd go for dodge (not everyone has tackle), side step (helps make him annoying) or pass (do you want a passing game?) .

I went NoS with my AG4 hobbo, so now he can pass and catch while in traffic. After that, he jumped to AG5, so he's quite a pain in the ass now !! Intercepts on 4+ all the time !

I went for catch, shame he tripped up on a 2+ dodge with a reroll and seriously injured himself 2 turns into the match :/

as for an interceptor, the threat of one stop people passing over certain spaces, and i thought catch would be better than NOS cause even if i do put a tz on it a rr is a better chance or getting a 6 than once rolling a 5+

Sounds like you need to change your coach - he's giving all your dodgy players a kicking for being so un-Dwarfish!
