Week#1 discussion (kickoff 2010)

[roadrash]

your team, to me, is one of the feel good stories. For years they went through turmoil with losing season after losing season. You stuck it out, and now the Mules are a Imperial Bowl contender. Good work there. I've always been a secret "Mules" fan

All mules fans were secret ones. . that explains the now famous mule paper bag.. .

I also remember those first few seasons when I was doing the power rankings. .the mules were always at the bottom. good job sticking with it kobeck

Dakota is glad that Willoughby no longer wears midnight blue and copper.

Looks like half my squad is "Tired".. what can I do besides cutting their play-time percentage? (and no, Crawford is NOT listed as tired, so that's still not a good reason as to why he was under-used)

[tarcone]

I lower my percentages. Depth is more important in 2007 then 2004 obviously

trade them for players with higher endurance or make them lose weight next training camp

I noticed my return game was bad .. real bad. . almost nonexistent. So I now signed two bottom feeders to boost it. Both decent returners I had took a big hit in the conversion.

I've found myself carrying players just solely for long snapping, kick holding, punt returning, and kick returning. . .that is 4 roster spots dedicated to special teams. Add in the k and P and I'm up to 6 or 40. . . I think this is fairly common in the NFL, are others doing this as well?

What is this "special teams" you talk of?

[Kobeck]

Teams is a tiebreaker for the last few roster slots. Mules do not manage those specialty players to the extent the Snipe Hunters do though.

I'm forced to use up roster spots each year for these positions as well.

Although now I'm hoping Dana Glover will be a legit receiver and kick returner for quite a while.

I take special teams into account a lot. It's tough though, especially when it comes to making the 53-man cuts.

[Cringer]

Ok, so I do pay some attention to it. Have never really paid much attention to long snapper. But Lawrence Wiggins (CB) was for the most part selected in the draft last year for his return abilities. It paid off too for the most part.

Sorry i'm real late, good game Murf you really rocked me
