No, we just suck now. Whether you know it or not, I've always bucked the system a bit on Speed and preferred a more balanced approach to building players. Suddenly, this season, those balanced players started to suck, horribly.


what part of speed is kicking your butt more so than usual? Serious question. Speed WR's aren't rolling because QB passing distance was dialed back. Speed backs aren't on fire by any means. And have you seen speed DE's lately.


My guess would be LB/CB/S. I'd still take speed at WR over anything else though, even with these changes.


Those, speed/agility by linemen, and a large part is the fact that much of what we used to run on both sides of the ball just doesn't work the same way anymore. I don't just mean people figuring us out, I mean the players just don't move the same ways and we don't get good results anymore.

Not a complaint, just a statement of fact, don't look for us to bounce back like we normally do, we just suck now.


Well Jed sometimes you have to roll with the changes and if you have GOOD balanced builds you should be able to use speed players. Just instead of spreading your eq. around, put it all in one att. Building balance Base attributes is a nerf protector because a simple eq. change helps you in the case of a nerf.

Glad to see ya again, Palmer, but I wish you'd taken your HB to Africa...That's all OFG needed was a deeper/stronger run game. It isn't like they've always dominated on the ground or anything.


PP the racist. You heard it here first.

This monkey speaks the truth. With the bankrolls most Pro and AAA teams have, if you can get players to the 3rd/4th cap on core attributes, they're just an EQ change away from being a completely different player. Take for instance the DT agility craze now. If that player's STR & AGI are both in the 70s raw, he's an EQ change away from being 100+ agility or 100+ strength.

Speed DEs are effective actually.



Most aren't. Some are but for the majority the once elite DE's are average.


Such as...?

Just look at the DE's who had over 100 sacks last season and see how many of them are even close to that pace now.

The slow starter VA made me laugh.

On another note, DDL won a game. They are officially not the Lions.
