Although I hate losing to kevin's D, I have to side with him on this one. Last season, at the end of the year, a bunch of HBs were in the top 20 in receiving. This year, there are none in the top 20! So, the field is stretched out, and the big receivers are raking in the catches. Yes, HBs are getting catches, as outlet passes when the WRs are covered. No, they aren't getting the yardage they did last year!
In this league, I just think WR-TE-HB1-QB1. Part of the challenge of playing against a good rush D is having to focus on your OL. Defeating Kevin at his best defence requires careful attention to OL. Maybe people would spend a lot more going after the #1 draft pick to draft Wesley Cates-type running backs. If I remember, a long time ago Dallas drafted RB Herschel Walker, then Minnesota traded a ton of players and draft picks for Walker! If a run-style offence is what you want, maybe you should have to pay a little more to get it...
In this league, there is such parity that we can avoid giving Kevin-type bastards
a stranglehold on defence. If you're not in his conference, you don't have to worry about it. If you're in his conference, rest assured his def. scheme requires good people at all positions...top 10 HBs and WRs can overcome his inabiltiy to filll all positions.
No one can accuse the commish of foul play, because he reduced defence at a time when his defence was the best in the league (in terms of yards given up). But...show me at time when the winning teams DIDN'T have great run D!
I am having so much fun in this league. I suggest any changes should be made at the end of the season, so that Kevin doesn't have to be such a big baby
Perhaps at the end of the season you could decide upon some benchmarks for changes, and then post them on the website so everyone knows what's coming!
on the ground... no team was even close, Honolulu was second with 1048 (3.1). Colorado went on to the Championship and faced Louisiana who lead the league in rushing average (4.
