when you gonna do the right thing with that roster, and cut the 4 WRs and add 1 FB, 1 TE, and 2 more OTs?

WRs are expensive, inferior blockers if you're not going to throw the ball.

I was about this [---] close to doing an all rushing farm team to replace Air Raid. Electing to just go silly with the Air Raid concept for 2.0 instead. That said, with the GraveDiggers gone, ya'll are the closest thing to the Ground Assault idea I've had that's left.

Whose playbooks would I steal if you folded Air Raid?

You don't think the OOPP would be too much?

for the trade to get the good blocking SAs? Heck no. You get better blocking caps too to overcome the OOP penalty.

And its cheaper. And your special teams return units would be nastier. And your depth for goal line formation would be better. Etc etc etc.

Does it say roughly what the OOPP is? 5%? 10%?

It used to be 5%. Corndog made it more last offseason.

Do the math though. What are your blocking skills on FBs/TEs/OTs. What are they on WRs? What are their pricetags? Now pour some SA gravy over the top.

The more I watch the sim this season, the more I'm thinking about saying F it and going with this idea. Rushing first teams have the advantage on special teams too. Nothing I can do about special teams with Air Raid. Pass blocking skills are totally useless on it.

I'm about to do the math might be the next upgrade this offseason

edit: I don't think you can put OTs into the WR spots, at least i couldn't find how to do it. And the gains from the blocking skills on the TEs and the FBs are ALMOST the same, the only thing that you gain is lead blocking and then SAs. My TEs are more expensive than the WRs, I'm sure the FBs are close.

If you can't do the OTs then I don't think it's worth it because you can only have 2 FBs and 3 TEs. Stamina would become an issue. You could probably run with just 2 WRs, but like I said, the other positions (minus OTs) are just as if not more expensive than the WRs

OTs can't play WR. But they can play TE, or more importantly, BTE. Such a roster setup would certainly free up an extra TE. You've already got little for a backup FB to do with your S*. Might as well Big I them out wide. They're also better than a WR on Kickoff returns too.

Though Frankly, what's the point of running 2WR formations anyhow? You going to threaten to pass? No, teams are going to lineup in the same anti run stuff they're already using anyhow. Adderfist is going to blitz his CB whether you're in Goalline or not, etc.
