Yeah, you got it. Exactly.

It's why I had to make the trade for that WR. I was done without it because I get everyone's best shot.

Ray Meddleson...lol

"I woulda gotten away with it if it wasn't for that meddling JDB...." :)


Maybe "getting everyone's best shot" benefits you. I realized a long time ago to ignore who my opponent is and just put together the best gameplan possible regardless of opponent.

Maybe others who gameplan against you try too hard and change too much and it hurts them. I use the same gameplan against you as everyone else and it's either good enough or it isn't.

If I'm a pitcher and I never throw a curveball but when the other teams best batter comes to the plate....I'm not throwing a pitch that I never use, I'm just gonna pitch him the same way that got me there.

If I had a "extra special" gameplan to use versus elite owners....why wouldn't I just make that my every game gameplan?

I think some owners out think themselves which ends up costing them. I think everyone gets everybody's best shot and if you went 13-3 with a gameplan, why make major changes because when the games get harder?

Just my personal view on gameplanning. Then again, I don't spend a ton of time gameplanning because I spent too much time posting stuff in my leagues forums.

I can gauge who wants at me. It's like the force in Star Wars, if they're angry - I can turn it on them. It's hard to call overall but I can dig in and figure out who is playing hard, who isn't - who is irate at me and what they're willing to do.

I like amalric, but I can also have fun. He hit me up on a league chat about my 4th quarter play knowledge strat, therefore, when I faced him recently I went 100% run in the same situation. I like him but it was a wink, like hey - hi there. lol

You are on a different level then me because I have no idea what most of this even means. The only thing I can figure out from any game is who got lucky with rolls and who didn't plus who needs to fix their rules.

It's like play knowledge...you seem to give this vast importance in your gameplan design and I don't pay it any attention really. If an offensive or defensive play works...I use it regardless of where the play knowledge bar is.

Like I said, gameplanning for me is quick and fast while you really dig in and spend a bunch of time there. I've been telling you for years that I don't put in the same amount of work as you

Play knowledge goes way back. Quick example:

If GDB or Michael77 are firing non-stop FL Hitch and Flares you have to protect yourself by utilizing those plays a lot yourself. Therefore, when you're playing them you're not drowned out by their spamming it. The overpower.

Date it back to v4.3 or whenever those plays first came into pound 'em fashion.

Death Star is fully operational.

CJ, I hit the main forum. You and I are on the same page. There's nothing like watching a guy run off at the mouth as if he knows everything. Captain Defender removed me from Victory to give himself a clear path to the title. I see he bloviated once more today, the omnipotent one.

TE and FB should be able to play at FB or TE!

They already can, that's not the question. The question is does anyone have an issue with playing a TE @ RB and being a ball carrier without changing him to an actual RB.

It's just in the wording I guess. Can FB play RB....yes and since TE and FB are interchangeable then a TE should be able to run the ball.

At least that's how I see it

At least that's how I understood Smirt's question. LMK if I'm missing the point.
