Question about Pass Block

Post by campaigner »

Hi all,

sorry to bother, but I didn't find an answer to this in the LRB.

If I have two or more players with PAss Block, may I move them all when the opponent is passing?

I know you can only try to intercept with one player per pass, and the rules say that PB may only be used if the player can get into a more effective position, but I could try to intercept with one PBer and put the others into the tacklezones of the thrower/Catcher.

any help appreciated.

Yes, so long as they abide by the rules for pass block. Also failing a dodge with one does not stop you moving others.

ooh, ooh *waves wildly with his hands in the air*

another question about the same skill.

imagine I got two players with PB, called A and B (yes, all my players have got names like this). opponent throws a pass, I want to put B into a TZ and intercept with A. I decide to move A first, he trips over as he tries to dodge, can I then change my mind and declare an intercept with B?

And, on the same topic: am I allowed to use Dodge or Break TAckle during the PB move?

thanks,
c

Yes. You can also use Leap or Pro (for failed dodges or leaps).

A. Move all you PB players.
B. Declare with what player you wish to intercept.

It is not the same as blitzing, where you loose your blitz if you fail an action on the way. :smoking:
