Unsung hero in bad weather...

The D line rotation.   No one has mentioned this.  Cold windy wet...it wears down the Dline and by the end of the game most players just don't want to tackle.  Throw 8 to 10 different bodies at them and maybe that is less of an impact.

This is the time of the year (cold) that too much standing around (rotation of the DL) is IMO more of a curse than a blessing.  You get cold quickly in this weather, especially if you take a series or two off in a row.

 

I can say from experience I'd rather hit and be hit when I'm warm(er) than cold. I think the rotation is a detriment and needs to be ditched, for more than the above reason.

If we only had heaters to keep players on the bench warm

Sure they help but they by no means keep you "warm", have you spent time with one in 30 or below weather with howling wind?

 

I was always still cold and wish I could just play non stop to stay warmer
