Well, good luck and congrats to you fellas......I really like drafting too, but this year....I decided to break the cardinal sin....I think it's best said as "Putting all of my eggs in one basket"....but I figured that my starters were good, and I had sufficient back-ups.....so we will see....

Oh, no prob.....I was just looking for suggestions or if maybe anyone has had to deal with the same problem. yeah, I have tried getting some run stopping LB's and DL....I even switched my good saftey's to DB's in hopes that if he was running sweeps or to the outside, that he may help...and since he hit me for over 200, I think there was were I made my biggest mistake. I had held him to 120 or so before this meeting.....I think nect time I will play all man to man....with 100 % short..pretty much try and bring everyone up to the line....and just completly abandon any kind of run "D"......but to answer your question, yes...if I get a chance to add another good run stopper any where, you can bet he will be playing for Tenn......I just hope that I didn't trade my draft away..I can't remember. That is what sucks about playing with 5 teams....hard to remember what I do from season to season...

Just an FYI...Indy...or should I say the Biakabatuka Colts played Miami in the Div. Championship game.....his stats were...35 att..269 yds....7.7 avg....long of 62 4 TD's.....unbelievable..... ........

I drafted a DB that looks like this:

Slot Name Inj Year Rat Pot Exp Dur
FS S. Green OK 1 60 100 0 65

Rating Current Potential
Leadership 40 40
Run Defense 60 100
Pass Coverage 60 100
Int. Rating 92 106
Blitzing 19 32

Then I just traded next year's #1 and #2 for this:

Slot Name Inj Year Rat Pot Exp Dur
SCB M. Riddick OK 4 100 100 630 93

Rating Current Potential
Leadership 85 85
Run Defense 100 100
Pass Coverage 100 100
Int. Rating 106 106
Blitzing 32 32

And these two will compliment this one:

Slot Name Inj Year Rat Pot Exp Dur
WCB M. Sharpe OK 4 100 100 645 100

Rating Current Potential
Leadership 99 99
Run Defense 100 100
Pass Coverage 100 100
Int. Rating 74 74
Blitzing 46 46

Well I'm stacked at DB now for a few seasons. Two are at 100 now, with the rookie getting there soon. Right now I'm starting the rookie at FS what do you think?

I think that your DB's are insane. I agree with putting the rookie at FS. Am I the only one who sees a resemblance between him and Riddick?

If anyone has a WR with very good catching and are willing to trade him, shoot me an offer. I am looking for that and a run stuffing defensive lineman.

I'll look my WR's over when I get back from a doctor visit.

Well, if it were me, I would sit the rookie DB due to the low durability....the reason I say that is...during the season his ratings will go up....but since right now he is injury prone, and if he was to take a serious injury, you will have to start all over again...and then his durability may never go back up...or it will just take longer to get it to do so....I would try and land a DB veteran around 88 or so that you can milk for a year or two......wait until his ratings go up, then start him.....

How about the DB7 or DB8 role?

yeah, that is what I would do...maybe even the dime role....but if there was any way to let him sit out a year...I would...but that is just my opinion.....that is how I try and do my roster....when I have a starter that is around the 8 year range or so, I try and either draft a rookie to take his spot...that way I have a year or so to build them up...or trade them....

did anyones rookies improve in training camp? doesnt look like any of mine did

I put in a ticket regarding this

yeah, ditto here.....and I don't think one of my games simulated last night either......

In the FOUTS league.....I traded all of my picks away last season...I have a 5, 6, 7......that sucks

well now i cant even get to the sportsims webpage LOL

Im picking at 15 in the Fouts league.... I want to see what I can make out of it

Neither can I.

well its back up now, but still hasnt advanced the rookies

well it now looks like the Dtalkers league had advanced

tip to everyone if you make a trade before training camp make sure to re-check your Training Camp reps

I pulled an idiot move in one of my other leagues

essentially I had drafted an Adrian Peterson clone with 92 dur,but 64 overall (hes going to be a stud) so I assigned him 100 reps and traded for a blocking back afterwards (at like 10pm last night) and it reset my reps to 15 for each back... so he only advanced 1 pt.... emailed supprt.. they were nice but wouldnt do anything (I accept that it proves to me they are trying to keep it fair)

You just have to check the positions you traded to and from and reset your reps.

youre killing in the dawgtalkers league

Ok, our FOUTS league kicks off 2-nite....and guess who I open against....that piece of crap Biakabutka....I see you get to face him so maybe you will have better luck than I do......I'm gonna try and run the 5-2 this time....stack everybody up, and see what happens........

good luck....none of my guys advanced in trainig camp... did yours????

our division in DawgTalkers is tough

I think your right....it doesn't appear that my guys got any better yet either....they said that since they have had so many people sign up, that it has been taking longer for things to simulate and that everything is usually done by 11, so maybe check back then.....but I have had so many injuries with my TENN team that I took it easy on the reps this year just to see if it would help. So I don't expect to see much improvement anyways.....yeah, I'm trying a different approach with Indy this time...I'm gonna run a 5-2 so that should clog everything in the middle by itself, and then I'm gonna set everything else up to guard against counter run plays......see if that works....if I could just figure out what style of plays he calls, I would be better off...

Your right, our division in the DT league is ridiculous....and just getting more and more strong....I'm happy with my "D" so far this year....and my "O" is average, so we will see how it plays out.....I just took an injury to my TE which sucks.....but I have a good back-up.....

I'm 6-1 and tied for the division league. Rabid, no offense, but I'd appreciate it f you started losing some games. That 2nd rounder of yours is my highest pick.

LOL, Im at 500 right now, so dont panic yet

is it just me or has todays game not been played?

Its not just you, the dawgtalkers league games haven't been simmed yet.

ah sweet it went through! VICTORY!

The Salary Leagues will join the incredibly popular free Standard Game which received a 9-out-of-10 rating from OperationSports.com.


This should be fun....I was wanting this.....

Im going to have to drop a team or 2 now to keep up on all this stuff..... work has been real busy with my promotion, now Ill have even less time...but I agree this will make it MUCH more interesting...CAP casualties anyone??

yeah, me too.....I currently have 5 teams.....looking to try and keep 3 of them and add at least one salary team . I haven't added any more years to my contracts...gonna see which teams look the best when my contract expires and go from there....definitely keeping the DT league....maybe we can set up a DT salary cap league...?????

Salary team would be fun, but I don't think I want to pay money for it.

yah i ain't payin $

so i'm kickin' ass in the DT league....cept everyone else in my division is as well. i'm 7-4 and two teams in my division are 7-4 and 8-3 boo!

I've won 4 in a row and just took out CINCI(kingodawg) lol you are welcome AFC north dawgs.

I'm 8-3 as are two other teams in my division.

Honestly i didn't change my gameplan TOO much...but what i did do is i looked at ur stats to see which players are doing all the work and tried to set up D accordingly...i saw you rely on ur FB little bit..almost as much as ur RB so i made sure to account for that etc etc...and more zone then i usually play..cuz ur WRs are awesome
