What's everyone think is a good % for key blocking for O linemen?

[bulletsponge]

at least 33%

For Key Run Blocking, I consider good numbers over 33%, like bulletsponge told, and I look to sack Pct. and I like that OLineman with less then 1%...

I don't consider any percentage good or bad, that figure is heavily dependant on the quality of your running backs and/or the likeliness of making a play. Every play has a key run block opportunity, but some plays are less likely to be succesful run.

But don't you think the success would be based on that O lineman? The better that guy, the more chance for a successful run. Along with the skill of the RB of course.

Yeah, but both of them figure into it. If you have a bad RB who can't find his holes, the numbers will be low. It's hard to look at these stats as too much more than eye candy, except in outlying circumstances.

But OL doesn't seem to be very complicated. There are other positions where players have a whole grab bag of statistics and a mixture of skills that need to be utilized correctly, so you gotta look at performance. With OL, you have run blocking, pass blocking. You pretty much know what you are getting.
