Let's put this in perspective......A GM that consistently puts winning teams together; such as myself, GrandadB, Smirt211, CJfred, Infinity on Trial, & the list goes on; doesn't need to use the punt block to win.
I use it in a number of my leagues. 4 that I can think of off the top of my head. One person on this list uses the punt block in
every single league that he is in.
This individual is more successful than anyone else in this game with this special teams exploit.
It works once or twice a game for this individual.
If someone wants to use this to have a fighting chance against some of the more successful GM's, that is fine by me. Especially if it is in a league that I use the play. If someone uses it simply to rack up Championship wins, that's just despicable.
If it only worked against non-punters or punters with poor timing or poor long snappers, that would be a completely different issue, but this is not the case. It works against solid punters behind solid blockers with solid long snappers. And the
only glaring point is the speed of the blockers versus the speed of the rushers.
If you have a slow OL/TE/FB on the line blocking for your punter,
you are begging to be blocked.My rusher in Beta was injured in pre-season & hasn't been available to test this theory. I'm quite certain it isn't a theory.
slowtospeak, I don't know how much time you dedicate to this game. If you want assistance in leveling the playing field with some of us veterans, all you have to do is ask. We're really forthcoming with things when asked. It's all about making this game a better experience for everyone.
