I doesn't proposed to limit other positional like blitzer or catcher ! I said why limit big guy if in last JJ rules nothing said to do that ?

Well, my point is that the Lineman is the most basic player in any BB or DB team; meaning that a player doesn't need a particular skill to fill the position of Lineman. I mean you can field a team with just linemen, which would be impossible to do with any other position.
Following this logic I could never consider a Limeman an all-rounder.
So imo the typical BG should be onsidered a Lineman instead of a Blocker simply because he can't normally get the skill Block to actually block his opponent; all the BG does in that instand is just stand in his opponent's path.
And as we all know you don't need the Block skill to obstruct your opponent's path.
Furthermore, imo to become a Blocker one must be able to get the Block skill normally.
Which BGs are unable to do.
that would mean a lineman IS a blocker second most if not ALL blocker types have access to the strength skills on a normal roll and thats what big guys haveimo to become a Blocker one must be able to get the Block skill normally.
and next you sayLinemen I see as generally all-rounder
I could never consider a Limeman an all-rounder

Well, my point is that a Blocker is a specialisation in which (imo) the Block skill is paramount.Coach Jester wrote: that would mean a lineman IS a blocker second most if not ALL blocker types have access to the strength skills on a normal roll and thats what big guys have
Silly?Coach Jester wrote: to say minos and rat ogres should be blitzers just because you mostly blitz with them (to limit the wild animal) is just as silly:?
Not at all, I just wan't BGs to be Linemen instead of Blockers.Coach Jester wrote:so u want block to be moved to the strength list and not normal that way only blockers get it and not linemen :
I never did, that (again) is Douglowe.Coach Jester wrote:also your comment on the blitz and bull is just reading too much fluff into game mechanics and that never works... and why if that is your reason do you include a rat ogre?
