Slann Blitzer 5 5 First Skill

[dines]

Slann has a big deficit of core skills compared to most opponents and your blitzers aren't the fastest guys on the team. Therefore go with the essentials first -> Block!

I think a Slann team without Blitzers is very viable. For a TV of just 122, you can have the following:

4 Catchers
10 Linefrogs
5 Re-rolls
Apothecary

With all 14 players opting to take Guard on their first doubles roll, you will not be short of Guard. Nor will you worry too much about money when players need to be replaced.

I accept that the team will play differently without Blitzers, but since the Linefrogs are the key players on defense (for sacking the ball-carrier), the core competence of the team is very much intact.

I might live to regret this, if it's our league you're talking about Dr L, but I agree with the folks that believe blitzers need block. The skill that just keeps on giving!
