When putting blockers on my special teams, do they use their pass block stat? Or their run block stat? Both? Or neither? :)

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have clarified that I was wondering about both Blockers and Gunners, if it makes a difference.

The run block attribute is used for any blocking situation where there is a ball carrier, the pass block attribute is used when you are protecting a QB, K, P, etc.

Related question, I'm guessing my gunners on kick coverage need to have a degree of pass rush to shed blocks? Amongst other attributes (speed/tackling etc) of course.

The pass rush will be used if they are going after the punter, but not if they are going after the returner - that will be the run defense attribute.
