Interesting note from Matt Rhule presser...

[Jeremy Igo]

"The more you can do, the more you can do."

 

 

Rule said in some ways Covid is making them treat the team like a highschool or college team where guys may end up playing both offense and defense if needed.

 

Hey, have you played offense before? Well here is a playbook and study it in your free time.

 

Personally, I would not mind one bit seeing Derrick Brown block for CMC on the goal line

I guess but any DT who's not a significant investment of ours seems to make more sense.

Bring back Nate chandler?

[CLG]

Nope, nah, no.

I'd make an 'it is what it is' joke here but that phrase may carry a slightly different connotation these days than it used to.

As such, I'll just lament that Peppers was never able to come down with any of those fade routes that Fox called for him. Wouldv'e been sweet.

Not gonna fault the guy for progressive thinking during unprecedented times

I just read Jeremy Chinn played some running back in college...

Could be a nice way for some bubble guys to make the roster if they have position flexibility.  But the idea of any starting level player playing both sides?  Won't be happening.  If it's even an option, shut the season down.  Extreme example, but would be pretty ridiculous for CMC to get injured because he's been asked to play FS for the day.   3rd string LT's, sure.  Anyone else, GTFO

Derrick Brown in the midst of an all pro season as a rookie, lines up at FB to block for CMC only to have Matt Paradis fall backwards and and land on Brown’s knee and completely shred every single thing in it. No thanks.

It's encouraging to see a coach not completely set in his ways come hell or highwater.

But, it very well could also be an ominous sign about the nearly devoid level of NFL experience on this coaching staff. There's a reason why there are very few two way players in the NFL and those few are all just gadget players, kinda like when we used to trot Peppers out on offense in goalline situations.

[cookinwithgas]

yeah this can't be that great of an idea. Please, coaches, don't make me watch a 1-15 team again.

 

It was always fun to see Peppers go out on offense.

I still say one of the greatest, funniest, most memorable moments I’ve witnessed in a Panthers regular season game is us sending Peppers out as a goal line WR and the Falcons coaching staff saying

“ We see your athletically freakish DE lining up as a WR and raise you our athletic TE from the same college program lining up as CB to cover him.”

What I wouldn’t give to have been a fly listening in to the pre snap conversation between Peppers and Alge Crumpler.

”Hey man, you got any idea what you’re doing out here?”

”No. You?”

”That’s funny. I barely know what a route tree looks like.”

”At least you ain’t gotta worry about getting scored on. I’m supposed to be a tight end!!”.

Without a doubt one of the most hilariously brilliant and absurd things I’ve ever seen in the NFL.

Most players have some kind of experience at multiple positions and can operate in short term in game situations.  The bigger problem comes in the specialty positions like FGs, punters, holders and long snappers.  They may be forced to carry extras on the 53 or PS.
