On a Scale of Horrible to LOLOMG how bad would it be to use

An Offensive Lineman playing Blocking FB for inside runs

And same question as to using

An Offensive Lineman playing Blocking TE for offtackle runs

Cuz they be in short supply

I have actually used both and there is a small difference in success between actually having a blocking FB or blocking TE and using O-linemen. I do not know the exact OOP but it didn't seem like a huge difference. but with that said I didn't have to do it a very longtime so my sample of games I watched could have not been enough to have seen a big difference.

Scroll down to Spindoctor02's post.

The OT to TE probably works fine.

Might work for inside runs if the HB is really slow

I've never tried it but it seems like something that could work in the lower levels with a very slow PB behind him.

I forgot to post the link, oops

actually if someone uses a pass blocking OT which usually has more speed and agility than the run blockers it can work up in regional Pro. or atleast it did for the few games that I had to try it a couple seasons ago.

sounds awful

I agree but when you are desperate you will usually try about anything on GLB to see if it can work. or atleast that is the way I see it.

I've tried just about every combo of offensive players out of position and this is one of the few that makes sense. TE at WR is good, TE and OL (they HAVE to have speed) at FB is good, FB at TE is good, OT at TE is OK, yet anyone at QB other than QB sucks, and take it from there...

I've used OTs at TE before. As mentioned above, for best results, use an OT with SPEED, because otherwise the OOP is going to take a dot that's slow to begin with and make them even slower.

I've never tried an O-line dot at FB before, but again, as mentioned above, Speed would be key, or else your "FB" is going to be useless.

Okay...how about ST OL on the Defensive side of the ball?

Purely to save flex.

I'd bet against that. Don't think of the STOP archetype as different than the original position when considering OOP's. A STOP archetype OT gets the same OOP for playing DT as a normal OT would. And playing an offensive dot on the defensive side of the ball would be a bad OOP.

That's... that's just dumb.

I can see OL dots at TE or FB, because some teams don't use a blocking TE or blocking FB often enough to warrant tying up a roster spot.

But defensive dots? I'm going to assume you mean on the D-line, but man... you use D-line dots on every defensive play. Just go recruit or build some D-line dots. Sure, they cost twice as much, but I guaran-damn-tee you the results will be worth it. I can't imagine the OOP being very kind to O-line dots playing D-line, and if I saw that as an OC playing against you, I'd grin ear-to-ear and call 847 inside running plays for our game and have a field day on you.

I know I know.

But lets play VPB

STOP OT as Secondary Player - CB/Safety
Winds up with speed 99, Agility 93, Vision 81, Tackling 85, Strength 51, Sta 49 Con 41 Jump 22
1496 BTs to get 4 AEQ and maybe some for a second SA
33 SPs for SAs
SA figure could be Wrap Up Tackle or Swat Ball perhaps or Closing Speed or maybe Monster Hit?

Now if he is 10/20/30% Oop that turns into
speed 89 (147), Agility 84, Vision 73, Tackling 76, Strength 46, Sta 44 Con 36 Jump 20
speed 79 (137) , Agility 75, Vision 65, Tackling 68, Strength 41, Sta 39 Con 32 Jump 18
speed 69(127), Agility 93, Vision 57, Tackling 60, Strength 36, Sta 34 Con 28 Jump 16

Hmm

Not so hot. 10% is okay but its probably worse than 10%
