I lean towards not adding a DT, but there is an important topic we should start talking about now, instead of waiting till the change comes.Sooner or later MFL will offer or force all leagues to adopt the [EDGE} player to its positional lineups. I believe we should adopt that into our league but also believe we should look at starting positions as most teams use [EDGE] LBs to fill the gaps and we might want to reevaluate if we want to do DT at all and just go with DL.

I agree with adding an additional defensive line position. DT is fine with me.

actually i think we'd be better off with Frank's idea of adding a 3rd CB instead of a DT, points wise i feel there's more opportunity for the DB to make plays then there is for a DT. By no means am i discrediting the DT it's just that with it being more of a passing league, CBs stand a better chance at making plays than do DL which helps your fantasy team add a few more points...... i'd rather spend money on a CB than a damn good for nothin' kicker...

I don't know about adding an extra DT. How many points would we be adding to our weekly score? Does that make it worth it. I love expanding rosters, but think adding a position that would actually affect the outcome of a game is a smarter way to go. Also adding that second DT may be extremely difficult.

The last 20 of the top 64 score 3 or less points. Are those two or three points worth expanding rosters? That's what I guess we are voting on

That's what I guess we are voting on Anthony, I get what your saying, and you make some good points. My idea is to make the league bigger and deeper, and there are a ton of DT's left in free agency every year that play a big part of the NFL game. For me its not about the volume of points, its about utilizing the entire game on Sunday's. The rotational defensive line in the NFL is a big part of the game, and defensive tackles provide the interior depth on any defensive line, and I would like to get as close to the real game as we can. I know some have suggested that we add another DE, which Im actually open to in the future as more of a long term plan for the league, however an immediate implementation of an extra DE would give many teams an immediate advantage that I dont think would be fair to all the other teams in the league. Here's what I would be in favor of: A two year temporary DT mandate, that would eventually covert over to a DL flex. That would give everybody enough time to properly acclimate to the new rule, and would limit an inherent advantage that any team may have in the immediate. Something like that would work, as I think there are not enough DE's to really accommodate 3 starting DE's for 32 teams, thus all those DT's that are left in free agency would have to fill the void left by a possible shortage of DE's and thus would force GM's to make decisions on how much of their resources would have to be attributed to the defensive line. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Frank, great points and I am totally on-board with that two year plan. I am fine with adding the entra DT to get us closer to the real game, I was just referring to how much would they help us win on Sundays, but I see where you are coming from. You are not proposing this to help us say we a game on Sunday, but instead, get Legacy NFL closer to the real deal.
