Current 4.6 Rules

No 2 way players Offensive players play offense, defensive players play defense

RB must be played by actual RBs I know most leagues don't use this rule for 4.6 but I want to keep it in play for us. The weight restriction is gone but they must still be assigned to be a RB or FB if they carry the ball (except for QB scrambles of course). *TE can play FB, therefore can carry the ball

Must have 1 real K and P Have to have at least 1 of each on the roster during game/midweek spins.

No Tanking Teams must not openly tank in an effort to secure a top draft pick.

Old Rules No Longer Enforced Due to 4.6

McKeon Rule This rule was essentially replaced by this rule...

DL 265 lb Minimum All defensive lineman must weigh 265 lbs

Punt Block Exploit No DB, WR, or RB on the front 4 of the ST rushers

OL Minimum Weight Centers must weigh at least 250 lbs, Guards/Tackles 275

LB Minimum Weight Linebackers must weight 237 lbs

RB must weigh at least 200 lbs No more WR carrying the ball, period.

Just because I don't have *MUST have a real placekicker* listed in the rules doesn't mean it's OK to use a WR as your kicker. It should go without saying but...

Are their any specific rules for trades? Is the trade meter being used?

I have older players that I'd be willing to trade for less than their trade score.

No trade rules and the meter is off. I have the right to overturn an unfair trade but I've never had to do that.

Nothing changed on the punt block, do what you will.

With version 4.6 starting now, the rules have been updated above.

RB must be played by actual RBs

Is this a 217 lb. or less - CB and WR elimination only or can I have an assigned TE @ RB taking carries?

Good question, I never addressed the issue from this angle although idk why you wouldn't just convert the TE to a RB for the speed boost/weight loss.

I would say at this point, with the preseason starting tomorrow night, we should just stick with letting RB/FB carry the ball for this season. Someone may have already drafted a TE and converted them, so I really don't want to change now.

We can discuss as a league, maybe do a poll which would take effect in 1999.

Reason: I'm not working with a lot on offense and he has lower ball carry. Main use = blocker/TE position usage but I see the work around: FB - I can over-ride him for both purposes.
