I was very curious about this one, so I looked at team stats for each team through 3 regular season weeks to see how may non-running back group players have had rushing attempts. Nine teams have non-RB group players with at least 1 rushing attempt:
Looking at the data, there's really only 4 teams that use non-RB group players at RB on purpose with a depth chart override. I thought there would be more folks doing that. Again, this is purely out of curiosity. Have a nice weekend, fellas.
Thanks for the reply, Ole! Nice post and info!! In the NFL, you have WR's lined up in the RB position quite frequently. I think, all the WR's playing in RB positions are also in the WR slot somewhere in the depth chart. We all know that, sometime in a NFL players earlier years, they played both ways. I'm surprised that more player cards don't reflect this fact that they've had experience in that situation. Don't players in college, and the NFL, start off playing on special teams that require the player to block and tackle? The one player, from the Giants, years ago, was always on the Pro Bowl team, because he was an outstanding special teams player. Meggett, I think? Kid could tackle!!! How would his card look, as an offensive player, with great defensive skills? Has anyone seen a card like that while playing MFN? Let me know. Thanks!
