But you know the football is a different size. I'm sure he could get used to that in 5 minutes a practice.Or hell work with him on the side. I think hammering people would put a smile on his face. Even if you did this JUST ONCE,you now have a decoy you can use forever,because now defenses must account for him. He could even run block at the GL for Sanders. I just paid him 40 million and we should use everything he can give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH he's done rubgy his WHOLE LIFE!!!! I guess the ball size difference is what's stopping him lmao. I bet there is no way you could play hardball after you played softball eh? Nope nothing similar there at all 31 minutes ago, cunninghamtheman said: A million. It could be returned on you, go in the end zone and recovered(leading to a touchback and they receive the ball at the twenty negating the low downside of the negative of not getting the yard by at least having your defense pinning them at the one),….. So do it on 3rd down. Really in rugby holding onto the ball is PARAMOUNT and he GREW up doing it. Your excuses are as lame as our offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fun for the team and all enjoy it. So they try one of them once in awhile just to make it fun for some players. But to do this for one of your strongest players on the team is dumb? Why? Because you think someone is gonna sneak by our guards and center and put a smash hit at his knees. Really? how can anyone get up that type of steam moving 2 yards? We are talking goalline here.

GreenbleedinNC Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 My League QB's are Brady,Murray,Stafford and Jackson depending on the league.

At least it is something new.... Much better than the repeat of the Philly Philly which most likely will never work again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My QB options were dim didn’t help my league took a massive run on QBs and when you have to wait 20 picks during it. Our FA wire last week had Goff, Skins QB, Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold(who I’m thinking of adding) Matt Ryan(who I drafted but dropped didn’t trust it) I’m basically changing my QB weekly based on favorable matchups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedinggreen93 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 My FF league I’m basically surviving thanks to my WRs Keenan Allen and Adam Thielan….

stine Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 something to ponder. Some people on here have the idea that Rugby players are smaller than Football players. Totally untrue. Difference is they may look smaller because they do not wear all the padding football players do. An average size rugby player in 2015 was 232 pounds. Hardly a light weight. They are fast and can hit hard, yet it took 3-4 of them to take down Mailata. So my thought process which agrees with GBFL was to put in a play to use sometime down the road. Not every day. Heck maybe 1-2 times all year! Makes the game fun for everyone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One big difference though is the tackling rules in Rugby vs Football… Rugby is below the shoulders above the knees… Football not so much very common to see football guys go low especially on the big guys. I mean can’t say I’d be agains the idea of Mailata running in a scrum type play ie he is the FB on the goal line and the goal is to just push the pile likely won’t get hit low… But if we didn’t run him when he was just a depth guy not sure we would do it now after we paid him to be our LT of the future.

Hey, it was just a thought. I would never suggest we put it in the play book intending t use it on a regular basis. Just have it as something the coach can use some day when he feels it will work. He is only into his 3rd game so I doubt he has many as his disposal as yet.... Maybe after our bye week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
