This is just because there haven't been any discussion posts in a week... don't like the quiet.
I am so perplexed by the TE position in RZA. I like tight ends. I like using them in play. But they seem less effective than WRs in the passing game, there's no way to tell how effective they really are in the running game, they don't ever block in the passing game (still don't like that one,) and they take more training than other positions, so the question (not for the first time) is Are they Worth it? I'm still playing with them because I do like them, but I hate this feeling of not knowing if it's a less-effective, and therefore wasteful, resource. Any thoughts? Is there any benefit to passing to the left flank in a BigI formation? Seems like that would put your TE against their CB1 and an LB? Doesn't seem like a good recipe for success. Do you ever put your best player in a given offensive position 2nd so that they'll get a better matchup instead of going head-on against what would presumably be your opps' best defender at that position? I doubt it, but is there any benefit to running your QB occasionally in wishbone, since that would be an option play and it would give one more player the defense would have to account for? How do you like 533 as a viable pass defense formation? Sure, there's not much backfield, but it (allegedly) puts more pressure on the QB, especially with a LB blitz, so that should mean less passes get well thrown, right? Risky, I'll grant you, but with talent in the backfield, it seems viable. Does a pass medium/deep playcall still have increased interception chance against a 533? or against anytime the defense is defending against a run? Does anyone ever use the pass medium call? Is anyone even still reading this? It's more satisfying to build your team by developing players, but might it be more cost-effective to just buy ready to start vets? If your developing not-yet-1st-stringers cost $50-150K/week for 4 seasons while you patiently get them up to snuff, but you can buy an enough-snuff player mid-season and pay $200K+ for half a season while you get his TW up, haven't you saved moolah? (not to mention YA/facility costs) Does anyone else find that stats which don't support opinions you want to believe can just be ignored? |

Sure, ignore them, but that ultimately means jeapardizing your curiosity and thus missing out on the abilty to grow as a person. Ignoring facts that don't suit you does not make you special for having a strong opinion, it's convenient and in the end you will be just boring. At least to me. |

I'm reading with interest, though I don't know the answers (looking forward to Chrill's further comments). I do find it fascinating how different managers follow very different strategies. For example, the way they train players: evenly across stats or focused on one or two key skills. |

I have been wondering how much planning and play testing you did, before day 1 of RZA, to come up with such a brilliantly balanced game? Also, I can see why you are careful about making changes. In addition to the work involved, there is always the danger of unexpected consequences. Pete fixed the quoting Last edited on 2024-10-31 17:19:37 by pete |

Yeah... my question here was tongue in cheek, just for fun. I agree with needing to have an open mind, but it certainly seems that a lot of people do this... |
