Ill be facing a blitzing mino next match. How do I stop him?

Feed him a lino he can block every turn. Position the lino so that if he blocks (he must follow up due to frenzy) it will take him further away from where the real action is happening. This might trigger some unexpected turnovers as well (unless he spends another 2 players lending assists, which is also good for you).

This usually works fairly wall. You have AV9 on your Linos, so use it. If the Mino has no skills (block, juggernaut), then the chances of turnover increases. Just be careful that he doesn't angle you off of the pitch. What I ususally do is once I get too close to the sidelines, my last move of the turn is to dodge away with the lino and reposition myself on the other side. If things go well, the Mino will push your lino around the pitch for the whole drive.

Another option is to try to force the Mino to Frenzy into a bunch of your guys. Then on your turn you bash the Mino. This works if you are stronger than your opponent, and can backfire as well. But you can get rid of the Mino this way. But if your opponent knows how to use Frenzy, he won't let himself get lured this way.

The other thing is that Orcs are really good at taking down ST5 Big Guys. You may find that if you mangle some of the squishier guys he won't be able to keep you from getting a favorable assist situation, and all it takes is two.

also get this situation:

--------M----------
--------L-----------
------G-G----------

L=lino, G= guarder
if he blocks, he either gets hit next go or he face a 1DB with a high turnover chance. It works better against ST4 players, but still good against ST5.
