The guy is slow at 66 Speed but is still a DB rushing on the line.

Any thoughts on this? My initial reaction is that at speed 66, this might not be an exploit, but just a lucky breakthrough - maybe he has high acceleration too, relative to other DL? What is it like in other leagues? Is having any DB on the line that exploitative?

It should at least be addressed. We do not have the punt block issue in this league. Let's not start now.

No CBs on the D-LINE on punt team.

I will edit to say: For what's it worth, like Norm says, it's not like this player appears to have been put here for his speed either. I don't know how the auto-sub works if the sim shoved an OOP CB in that spot.

Update: I messaged Thunder about it. We will see if he responds here.

Yeah, that's on auto-set lol.

Hi league. Something has been brought to my attention. Without naming names, I want to point out that you should not put DBs on your ST rusher depth chart. We an instance of an "accidental" punt block. The CB was set as ST Rusher #5. Well, someone on his DL either got injured or fatigued and guess what? Speed 90 CB was placed on the DL for a punt and it was blocked. I know many of you auto set your ST Rushers, so please make sure they don't put any DBs on the line, even as #5, 6, 7 because you never know when injuries could strike.

Because I'm willing to publicly admit I'm dumb, can someone explain the difference between the gunner and rusher positions on special teams? I did have a few DBs in at rusher (have been removed), but I've just been sticking random fast guys in those spots. Any clarification helps - thanks.

The Rushers are (the four) down linemen.

So technically you only need 4-5 D linemen (or slow LBs?) in your rusher depth chart, and put DBs, LBs, WRs or anyone else fast in the gunner chart? Just wanted to make sure I was clear on the concept.

I put all my DL's and LB's on the Line, then rank them by Fut.

By having a long list, it keeps the CPU from subbing another position.
