Pro Elves and the LOS

@ Big Daddy: Your analysis is good. The defense you show is a 4-3 defense (4 linemen, 3 linebackers), which is the most common defense in American Football. To get a good look at the 3-4 (featuring two inside linebackers and only one defensive tackle -- if there's only one he's called the nose tackle), look at defenses like the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots. Those teams' structures translate much more handily to Blood Bowl (in fact, I strongly suspect that Vince Wilfork is actually a BOB... not much of a disguise).

I agree, Matt.

But side step or block on this guy will actually do more for your team overall.

Hehe thanks Matt...I guess mucking around with Madden football on the old megadrive when I was a kid got something of an idea into my noggin', lol.

I think I'm gonna take side-step. The scaredy cat part of me says get block but I think side-step is probably more useful seeing as it is most unlikely that the lineman will get a third roll any time soon.

Cheers,

Side step in not a bad skill for a line-elf to have. You can position yourself to attack into his backfield after you get pushed on the line.
