I am proposing (and Feliciano, Brown and McDermott evidently agree) that you get all 8 guys on one page and sub them in from play to play or series to series. If you want road graders put the big dudes out. If you want agility, put the littler fellas in. The quote above doesn’t lie - the only issue is, those who called me “cray cray” above owe me a little apology. I’m waiting. This was Belichickian foresight on the OP’s part.

I think it’s only fair to swap some OL with DL, and vice versa. They deserve to know the life on the other side. This, of course, goes along with orange slices at halftime, and a great big trophy for everyone when the game ends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatility makes an offensive line more resilient when injuries hit, but no area of a team is more dependent on the chemistry that comes from stability than the offensive line. There will be situations where guys will sub in to allow a starter to rest up, but those are going to be individual substitutions, not platooning like we'll see on the defensive line.

I wonder what that brilliant mind thinks about drafting WR’s to play DB? After all, every time a DB drops a pick, they say “that’s why he’s not a WR!” This may become a trend around the league.

Augie Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There is an art to hooking people in, while avoiding having your truck fire bombed at the opener. Well played......I hope. I’ll keep my distance until things seem under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not only want to see you on the sideline, but I want to see you get on the field! I’ll pay extra! Just ONE PLAY! We could make this a wildly successful fundraiser! I think Kim could throw her weight around and make this happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Speaking on OBL... Thought it was interesting coming from the mouthpiece of the team. He thinks they have a “top 7” not a “top 5” and that it could change according to game plan. He dismissed the idea of continuity being critical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
