Should not the DT automatically be a liability in pass coverage.
Let me see if I can step away from the assumption of arrogance, because I know men look at men in assuming ways.
Let's take basic Madden ratings.
Speed is speed, it doesn't matter the position, all the speeds of all the players are on the same 0-99 scale.
Clearly a CB a LB and a DT have different speed ratings automatically.
But a CB that is a 99 in speed, is a 99 wherever he plays.
A DT that is a 65 speed is a 65 speed whenever he plays.
Subsequently a CB may be a 45 in strength
While a DT may be a 99 in strength.
So I understand why they play different at different positions.
What I am asking Mr. Cox, is why is there a separate programed penalty?
That sounds like Mr. Cox has mandated that because a player is out of position he must be penalized extra....
I may be miss understanding what is being said.
Because, on the flip side.
If the SF 49ers decided to change Trent Williams's number and play him as a TE and run what would be a six man offensive line all season.
Yes, Trent would certainly be a liability as a receiver, compared to Kittle, however, If the 9rs use him as a blocker, would not the TE position he is playing instantly become the absolute best and most dominant pass and run blocking TE in the game?
What extra penalty is there to be assessed in this situation?
I am asking, do not the numbers play out on their own?
