Power backs

Are power backs worth going after? Or does speed still trump all. Will a power back actually be able to truck and run over people? I am just in year 2 of an OD with a friend, so I havent tried to recruit one yet. Worth it if I want to run some power football?

Re: Power backs

Much depends on your sliders. If you nerf user RB ability, which a lot of slider sets do, these guys are pointless. If your RB ability is decent and your run blocking is lower, power becomes more important.

What he said.

Play a game or 2 with John Clay and I guarantee you that you'll have answered your own question with a resounding "yes!"

Re: Power backs

Power backs often stumble over a tackler and gain about 3-5 extra yards before they fall. They also get low and force a couple extra yards. They often force a gang tackle to fall backward for a small gain. And if you have one player in front of you, you can plow through him a decent amount of time.
