Second Double Skill on a Mummy

just wondering what 3th skill double you will be getting on this guy...

my vote?
well frenzy.
More then even tackle, since a block, guard frenzy mummy will spend most of his happy time among other victims, eh players. JU is not ideal.
Dodge, break tackle is nice, but ma 3 is not enough. JU PO is nice, but thats a very expensive player you are laying down, just for kicks...

frenzy, and watch that wardancer pow down on the second block

Jump Up, he becomes a menace that never goes away then....

I had a Block, MB, Jump Up, Tackle Mummy in 3ed and he almost made the opponent stagger his offense to the other side of the field, allowing me to plan accordingly.

With Jump Up at 4+ I think there are better choices.
Heck, take sure feet.

Fair point Martin, however I would happily burn a reroll to get him back up in a position to menace/splat the line

the point in taking jump up is to blitz when you jump up I guess.

Still not sure it is worth it.

Third double roll? Sidestep. That'll REALLY annoy people.

He's at his third roll, so don't build for future combos. For me, that's a fat argument against Dodge. However, if you plan on playing a lot of games, you might want to build for progression, and Frenzy is great for that.

Side Step is always fun, and you'll get your mileage from it. If you were dead-set on Stand Firm, then SS is a good alternative. Watch out, though, as he'll get hit by a lot of big guys, and sometimes you see those guys go for Grab. If you like using Mummies as linebackers rather than as tackles, I totally see going for Dodge or Side Step over Frenzy.

It sounds like Early 2009 is going to have a fair amount of flashy teams. I'd take Tackle, but that's considering context only. Without that context, I'd take Frenzy.
