Just curious. If so, how'd it work out?

Bort and other admins has suggested, that there wouldn't be that much of a penalty.
I am curious too - anyone?

Our team did it for the first preseason game, lets just say we won't be doing it again anytime soon....it wasn't that the DEs did poorly it was more that the other team was able to run a lot better then usual. I'm sure there was some settings that were wrong but we didn't seem to be in the right positions, most of the time my guy (RDE) would run back and try and cover a WR. Thier OL was able to double team the NT and get to the second lvl very quickly.

Needless to say we don't have any plans to try it again, maybe in some scrimmages but no real games. Anyone else have any better experiences with this?

I am eventually going to bring my new DE over to my GM'd team as our ROLB. I am the D Coordinator so if anything goes wrong, I'll have no one to blame but myself.

Yeah, 3-4 is pretty bad against the run. Especially if the other team's RB has halfway decent agility/speed. AKA, every running back.
