OK, I am not a rookie anymore. But still:

What would you train on a RB after Car, Agi, Vis et Pos?

I am considering Cat for the few catches the RB may have to make or Ftw hoping it has a role in breaking tackles.

And what about blocking? Does a RB block? IRL yes, but in the game? RB can have blocking back trait. But is it effective?

I've seen some major team playing HB as FB in Shotgun formations.
In that situation Blocking would be a useful option.
The question is if this strategy will continue to be effective in the next season when the OOP penalties will become more severe.

If it were real football I'd say that Footwork is recommended, since footwork drills are part of the basic training of Running Backs, but only Pete knows if it counts for HB performances ...

Blocking and Catching. If I need to switch a player to WR, FB, or TE in a pinch I can do so.

Playing purely as a RB?
block/catch
(altho not sure if tackle actually matters against interception/punt returns ... it will always be a small sample size unless you give yoda one :bee :lion credits )
