Wrestle doesn't give good synergy with DT (since you don't want to put prone and not be able to DT). So I'd take tackle instead and use DT on Blodge/SS

Who is more suited for blitzing a ballcarrier/catcher in your backfield than a wrackle guy already more or less in position? Voted tackle, but dodge is also nice.

For those who voted Tackle: does the fact that I already have two change anything? Right now, I have:

Blitzers: Both have SS and Tackle; one has Dodge, the other is 1SPP from Dodge.

Catchers: One has the Wardancer package (B/D/L), the other has Wrestle/Dodge.

Thrower: Dodge, Niggle. He's playing on the D-line until he skills or dies/retires.

Linemen: One is a rookie, one has Dodge, one has Block, one has Block/Dodge, one has Dodge/SS, one has Dodge/AG5, and one is the Kicker in question.

What's the league like? If there are lots of elves etc then 3 isn't too many. If its all dwarves and orcs then it is.

FUMBBL Ranked. My High Elves get a lot of action, because anybody will play against HE; the worst thing that's likely to happen is an ugly scoreboard and not very many SPPs (FWIW, I'm about even on Cas; over 15 games I've taken 32 and inflicted 30, and I take more blocks and a lot more fouls than I make). I'll play anybody, though most coaches want to play me with their speed teams, which they're afraid to take up against heavies. So far, by my count, they've played 3 heavyweight teams, 6 medium-weight teams and 6 lightweight teams. Generally, I tend to smack around the light teams, but not having rolled any doubles leaves me vulnerable to the strong types. My 3 games against heavy teams, I'm 1-1-1, as opposed to 5-0-1 against medium teams, and 4-1-1 against light teams. It is possible some of that is sample; definitely, the heavier teams my HE have faced have also tended to be the ones with the better coaches. Against teams with significant Dodge, I'm 7-0-2.
