I'm against removing CB, FS, and SS from being rushers on punts and field goal kicks these players are normally in these roles this rule to me seems to just become an unnecessary nerf but again thats my opinion I agree with the rest of the proposal though

In this game they are "normally" put in these positions.

In professional, college, & even high school football you do not see 190-200 lb DB's or WR's on the Line Of Scrimmage (LOS) during punt blocks. You just don't. If you know of a team that does, PLEASE, enlighten us!

You've already been pulled in. ;)
Aggressive? Not really.
Play. Smirt211, marinarul10, or awest827 a few times. You'll see the issue.
****, if it doesn't get passed, you can guarantee I'll put it back in my line up & I'll start paying a bit more attention to this league than I have been. (Remember? I forgot to sign my veterans and now they're playing for other teams.) I'll do it just to prove my point that it doesn't belong in this game. I think you've heard quite a few that are against it. Most that aren't against punt blocks, use it. awest827 & marinarul10 are two of them.

When I saw your post I decided to look it up. So I watched a bunch of punt blocks and every single one of them was a bunch of DB WRs and LBs.

As 500 stated in the other thread, if the AI auto sets your depth chart and a CB ends up as a rusher will that count against you? I do hand select my offensive and defensive positions but with Special Teams (before this whole punt block situation) I could really care less about. I mean sure you could attribute that to being lazy, but before the situation of punt blocks I didn't feel like special teams played a huge role in the out come of games. Secondly, if rosters don't have 46 active players, the AI automatically sets the depth chart. What happens in those situations as well or if it happens multiple times through a season? Possibly having a good owner removed immediately for a mistake?

I have and have seen at least 5 teams use it against me in the past 2 seasons and in all cases it didn't make a difference in the game I still won or lost off a pick but we shall see

Eyeball test.

You can tell right away whom has the Killer Bee swarm coming and who doesn't. Intentional/non-intentional.

2nd Half of preseason games....throw those results right out of the window.
