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!

Ohhhh, but if Feliciano or Chris Brown or Daboll say it, you’ll read with a woody?? I should sell subscriptions to my analysis/thoughts.

So you are saying the OP writer is cheating piece of crap? Pretty strong words even if for all evidence seems to imply it is true.

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.

So you would rather be “reactive” than “proactive”? Got it.

Augie Posted July 25, 2019 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.

Someone read this post and invited me to watch and take notes. Not gonna argue with him.

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!
YoloinOhio Posted September 4, 2019 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
SCBills Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 That's certainly innovative... Not sure if I like it or not.
mannc Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Could be a good thing early in the year when heat and fatigue are factors...
