3 rd Skill for an amazon blitzer

Hi there,

I'm playing zons in our league and I got a third skill roll for one of my blitzers.
She already got the guard and the mighty blow skill and now rolled a normal skill. I thought about tackle.

I have four blitzers (3 with guard, one has mighty blow too, and one get a strength +1 on her first skill). I use my blitzers in defence to crack the opponents cage or formation with the guard skill and on offence they protect the ball carrier and block a hole into my opponents defence. For this playing style I think tackle would be the most effective skill. Or should I take strip ball?

Do you have other choices ?

IMO every team needs at least 2 tackles, and really you want ~4. Tackle works very well on both offence and defence.

Strip Ball on the other hand requires that you are hitting the ball carrier, and that they don't have Sure Hands so you get to use it a lot less than tackle. However having a Strip Ball player can effect the way the other team plays - forcing them to keep the ball with the Sure Hands player.

I would have given her tackle.

If you have no tackle, then take Tackle. If you have a couple Tackle already and no Strip Ball then Strip Ball.

In general, Tackle is more useful although everyone should have at least one Strip Baller.

Tackle.

Give strip ball to a catcher with leap, she will make a nice cage breaker in emergencies.
