just strength IMO

when it comes to fitness training, better to train all 3 together than just focus on 1.

^This. If your OL doesn't have speed how will it protect you against blitzing LBs and speed rushers coming off the edge? Or how will your OL by effective on screens and when pulling your guards? Oh wait, this i GI... Nevermind then.. But I still train all three fitness skills for all of my players.

Of course strength is more important than speed, but you still need speed. Just ask Al Davis. Oh, wait.. Maybe not. And don't forget agility either for you OL.

See this is where I get confused...I would think footwork was more imported to the OLine/DLine, not agility. To me agility is the ability, in simple terms, to change your direction at speed. E.g. a WR to twist around/avoid tackles etc. Footwork is more to do with on the sport movement and balance...eg when in the Oline/Dline.

Yeah, you've got a point. But agility is the ability to redirect in quickly in small areas (the way I interpret it) and that's definetly important to OL. I'm not sure what the footwork skill is, so I'm not really training it before the admins come out and tell us what different skills means to each position. However, I doubt that it will never happen..
