each OLiner can help OLers left or right of him


and your OC can help your OT if he has arms like this ?

Yep, if he has the "long arm" trait, he might still be able to help the TE

Moral to story - if your opponent plays mostly 3 man fronts then put the OL with the highest TW at OG and the best players at C/OT.

Probably a good idea vs just about any D.

Not sure but i've got the impression from discussions that there individual matchups plus an overall collaborative factor where teamwork is taken into account.
When there 4 DL they take on the oline guards and tackles but not the centre. You can see the effect of this in game stats.


Guess, I should drop a line on the stats...

Having no stats doesn't mean the center was not involved. on a 5 vs 4 line it is on the C to decide, if he makes the room less open for the DTR or DTL. How good this works, and how "blind" he understand the needs of the OGR or OGL, is based on skills. Since we dont have a stat about "how good is he supporting", and since the OGs are doing the job basically, which is just easier because of the protection the C is providing, you cannot measure that effect in the stats. This is the same for 3 vs 5 setups...My english gives up, hopefully you get what I mean.


Yes thanks Pete understood.

Well I guess I was wrong. But I am I right that there is no Double team blocking or not.
Where the C and OG both block the NT or DT or OG and OT block the DE?

Cause right now Form what you saying that it raises or lower the players stats beside other linemen on the online as i said in the second line
