Lineup: Player at out of assigned position

[Kevin]

Yeah. And wha is really interesting is players who bounce between positions during the season, such as DT/DE, or T/G. It feels like they shouldn't be penalized, but maybe they are somewhat?

Yeah, unfortunately that's how it works. Otherwise we would have to manually make judgments on each player. So we have to assign them to a position, and then they face a performance degradation if they play somewhere else. The good news is that we base the degradation on the position similarities. Moving a 4-3 DT to a 3-4 DE or a SS to a FS isn't a huge degradation.

The challenge is the one or two guys who play really disparate positions, like Taysom Hill. We can't really reflect his performance at both positions.

Do you know what position Taysom Hill will be assigned to for this season yet?

Let me ask you a question....

Does a Tackle get a performance degradation when playing Guard???

The reason I ask, is most Guards are Tackles that could not handle the island.

So how can you take performance away from a good tackle that plays Guard, if anything, would you agree that a Tackle that moves Inside should get a performance boost.

Guards are usually the worst of the online, not good enough or the right size to play Tackle and not smart enough to play Center.

So, a center that moves to guard or a tackle that moves to guard should definitely get a boost up, not a penalty down.
