2022 rule changes

[Gargoyle]

Couple of things I'll put here so we can vote next year.

FA in playoffs: just need to revisit FA for playoff teams (or all teams). if you don't like being able to stack your roster with potentials for the next year, make it dependant on injury status.
(but, these days I think we should track more closely to letting the website track our rules, it's hard enough for us to play by the non-website rules)

Actually, I'd like to propose a general simplification of the rules, especially where it comes to who you can start and such. I'm talking about the different formations and stuff that we can't enforce with the website. we should change it so the website can enforce it.

I think we should look at the IR rules more closely, the NFL is letting teams put guys on and off the IR a lot more frequently and we should track to what they are doing.

eye fording too is still alive? Holy carp!

[Gargoyle]

yep, alive and kicking.

Have you thought about changing the starting defense lineups.

My fantasy has basically determined that all edge rushers are listed as DE.

So now there are more DE than LBs

And we have to start 3-4 LB and can only start 2 DE

I have the same issue. We can change positions if needed. I just need a list and can confirm on Ourlads.

We have to be consistent. Either they are all LBs or they are DEs. The issue is someone like Hassan Reddick is a DE who rushes the passer and doesn’t really play like a Lb. While someone like Mika’s Parsons is aLB and plays like one but also rushes passer. How do you distinguish?

Basically my understanding is that MFL is moving to a DT-EDGE-LB-CB-S construct. All DE and OLD are now EDGE, which for this season are just listed as DE. All MLB (4-3) and ILB (3-4) will now be listed as LB.

So basically all they did was group OLB with DE instead of with ILB as in the past, moving OLB from the LB position to the DE position for all of them.

Definitely need to ensure our starting LBs make sense now. Most teams will likely have to start 1-2DT, 3-4 DE, 1-2 LB, 2-3 CB, 2-3 S with 11 total starters, I would think.
