re: PS3 -Worst to First Dynasty - ~SEASON 04 | WEEK 4~

i really wish i could say the same Wall, i mean yea, you have a great team, i take nothing away from you in your decimation at ULM...its just damn, my team is soo bad lol...

But yes, GG wall...hope you can take it all the way

Yea I have had 4 seasons to build my team up and only had 2 so I did have a huge going into the game, ur running back is a very good player though.

any chance we'd advance tomorrow?

Hey Commish, i would like to offer up a possible rule change. Right now the rules state that we can only sub in a FB or TE for the RB position. Would everyone be ok with allowing to sub in a WR at the RB postion as well? It would give all of us more options on offense. I would like to hear what you guys think about this. BTW, if this rule were approved, it will not be in effect until the start of next season.

I don't mean to stir any controversy, and really, I had no choice last season--but to do it--but here goes:

My DL is not so impressive as far as depth goes. So, at the DE position--where I needed help the most--I subbed my backup MLB in for the underperforming DE.

His attributes were roughly the same as the DE, however, he was a better tackler and his agility was a little better. Speed and acceleration was the same.

I see absolutely no problem with something like this occurring, because there is no overwhelming evidence provided to reinforce the argument that it poses an unfair advantage. The size differential was vague--the MLB and DE were the same height and within 5-10 lbs of one another's body weight--and as far as performance goes, the MLB was able to fire off the line quicker and get position once engaged with the blocker. This helped me get better run support at the LOS, and it also helped me contain mobile QBs a little better to one side, which was usually the side of which he is facing--being that most QBs are right-handed.



To be quite honest, I've thrown a QB with great speed in at WR b/c his attributes showed his hands were better than a few backup receivers. His throwing power and accuracy were complete shite, so he was never going to see the field anyway. I added some depth at the WR position and subsequently released the guy prior to his sophomore season.


I don't favor this motion because eventually, this is going to become a race to acquire only the fastest receivers and athletes during recruiting, thereby causing us to restructure the rules on substitutions for the league yet again.

Here are some provisions I've come up with:

QB- Allow substitutions to be made for the QB if a receiver--or any player for that matter-- has 85+ throwing power AND accuracy. Seldom, if ever, will you find a receiver on this game with those attribute ratings.

RB- Position players allowed to make the transition can be any position other than CB, FS, or WR.

*Notice, SS is allowed. These players tend to fit the prototypical image of a RB from time to time. A lot of SSs are not slender, speedy, receiver-like players. They're more or less a hybrid LB.

DE- Ends should be allowed to have OLBs and MLBs sub-in for them, because if you notice, the DEs these days are considerably smaller than what we have been accustomed to seeing over the past 20 years. Jason Taylor is an all-pro DE, and he is also perhaps one of the strongest at his position, based on the premise that he has outperformed them in Defensive Lineman Challenges on ESPN (go watch his incline press reps and compare the number to Warren Sapp and others)

LB- Position players allowed to make the transition can be any position other than CB, FS, SS, or WR.

*If it is a RB you wish to substitute for a LB, that RB must meet certain criteria in terms of core attributes for LB.

**If it is a TE, that's at solely your discretion if you want to utilize him that way. I wouldn't advise it, but hey, you might come across a TE that for some reason brings with him a pretty good nose for the ball and can wrap up ball carriers. Who knows?




TE should be open for anything because there are a great deal of teams out there that do not utilize a TE in their offensive philosophy. If they label a player "TE" on the field, it's more or less a hybrid-position player--more or less, an "H" Back. The versatility of that player encompasses a variety of skill sets, ranging from RB, FB, WR, TE, and OL capabilities.





These are the provisional ideas I've come up with, and essentially, it's just an outline. It's up to the rest of the league to provide some insight and come to a resolution.

I would say that "majority" should win, but I'd rather a consensus agreement be met so that each of us has a chance to give our opinions on how the matter should be handled.

Agree with everything you put there Brad. If the player is recruited at a position leave him at that position unless you are thin elsewhere and his attributes change only a little when you switch them. That is just my opinion. It is chicken shite to put a WR with 99 speed at RB or QB and just run around all game...

My vote is if it's an adjustment that can be made on the play book, like twin HB or LOLB pass rush, and not made by switching people around in the depth chart it's fine. You can always convert the player in the off season during position changes.

cw12 just signed on. anyone know what's been up with him?

Nine-One

YIM, NOW

Mpar and B-real are left. CW is also on the board, but only a few of y'all know if he's going to be able to do it or not.
