Hey Doc, what's the chance of you allowing up to 4 Running Backs, same as the Wide Receivers? That would give us all more options.

Well, we all have 16 players. If you place 2 on the practise squad, thereby making them open game for any owner, you will be careful who you would put there.

Don't think that will work. There is already a shortage on runningbacks and allowing another runningback per team would in my opinion make it worse.

Also, the Practise Squad incorporates jefferson's idea at the beginning of the year when he suggested we each pick our team week to week. Remember that? This way, you place two players on a Practise squad and if an another owner decides your practise squad player will do better than what he currently has, your player is open to pickup. Then that owner would have to drop a player to make room for the practise squad player he just picked up. Of course, you plainly just lose the player and then forced to find a replacement.

Also, once he picks up your practise squad player, the other owner who picked him up is then forced by rule to start that player the week he picked him up off your practise squad.

Get it?

OK, can it be any position?

I'm not suggesting we enlarge the teams, I'm just saying that we could allow each coach to play 4 RB's and 2 WR's if we choose. It would make things more fair for the guys who have no WR's but decent RB's.

Let me say it another way. Currently, we have 6 positions which are to be filled with Running Backs and Wide Receivers. I'm suggesting that we can use up to 4 of either RB's or WR's to fill those 6 positions, our choice.

Better?

This will be handy if there are injuries or bye weeks.

All positions are subject to the practise squad. If you decide to put a runningback and a quarterback, thats ok. 2 runningbacks, ok. Simply, any 2 players you have except those who are injured.

Thats what we do now. It's called a flex position. Right now, you can have 2 RB's and 4WR's and 1 TE.

You can also have, 3WR's, 3RB's 1 TE or
2RB, 3WR 2TE.

Other than that, are you suggesting 3 RB, 3WR normal plus then a flex?

Put it up to a vote of the team owners and see if they like the idea. I'll leave that in your hands.

No, I'm suggesting 6 positions being filled by any combination of Wide Receivers and/or Running backs, instead of limiting the Running Backs to 3. The Wide Receivers are limited to 4, at least let the coaches have the option of using 4 Running backs and 2 Wide Receivers if they chose.

OK, I talked to everybody, they think it's a great idea!

It was a joke, I haven't talked to anybody, yet.

How do you feel about the change, it gives coaches more options. In a league this size, it certainly is needed.

I don't care. I just need an RB. Davis, Westbrook, or Brown for anything on my team.


I need to get rid of some of my Carolina WR's...
