While I know DT's in this league arnt the sexiest position to start, what would you think of adding a 21st player to the leagues starting line-up which would be a minimum of 2 starting DT's to the weekly line-up? Personally, I like the idea of constantly making the defensive aspect of this league very relevant, while not shifting the scoring system too much as I dont want to overcompensate defense as I have seen in some leagues by creating a distorted scoring system. Adding a 2nd DT gives us GM's more to look and think about when we build our teams, as we would need to shift some small resources to keep a fully stocked DT unit on our rosters. I think it adds a little element of depth to the league, and it also begins to break with other model leagues and continues to make Legacy NFL unique in these 32 team dynasty leagues without any radical shifts in the game we play and have come to love. This would give our league league 9 offensive starters and 12 defensive starters, and maybe we can now be a league where defensive juggernauts can carry a team to a league title as we have seen throughout the history of the NFL at times.
My only concern with adding a 2nd DT, considering some teams play a 3-4 base set, is there enough DT's in the NFL that could validly supply our league with enough at that position not to create a shortage. Personally, I believe there is enough rotational guys in the NFL where we could add a second DT and continue to make this the deepest league we can.
I am also open to possibly adding a 3rd starting CB to weekly line-ups if there is a demand and getting up to 22 starters in this league, but starting with the DT is less of a fear because of the low scoring nature of the position. I just wanted to throw that in as well. These are just rough ideas I have working through my mind, and would love to hear other GM's thoughts.
