Thank you for the reply.

I would be particularly interested in this discussion

we need to understand what the best option at SG in a look inside is.

i'd say the typical NT center... but with legendary OD, JS, JR, handling, driving, & passing in addition to the center skills.

Well, maybe keep the JR at prodigious or so in order to keep the salary reasonable.

I made some slight changes to the guidelines based on increased competitiveness to make the U21 and NT rosters. Mainly more emphasis on passing. As far as secondaries we often debate about the impact of SB, so there may be some changes to the secondaries discussion.

Who are you kidding, jack that baby up to 20+!

Any chance a culture change will come about for team USA NT? My SF could be a big peice of that...he is already started down that road defensively...

What I want to know about is maybe what kind of PA vs. JS/JR the team might be looking for if they are thinking about making an LI stopping crew that can play outside offences as well.

The person you might want to BB-Mail is Sleet, the current NT manager. He might have some better answers than I could give you about this.

Where are you going with this? I can't really hone in on your central point. Are you criticizing us because we're "cookie cutter LI" or are you complimenting us because we have smart users? Are you for LI or against LI?

Culture change is a sports term.

Nope.

IMO currently Team USA is very LI cookie cutter based. Very focused on the theory of punt the things which it is believed don't matter...jack up the super stats, OD IS etc.

All I am certain I will do with my SF is give him solid defence, including a good SB focus. offensively I wont jack up his IS mor ethan it is free to do...which is still alot so it will be high...PA is cheaper than JR/JS so if that is somethign that works for team USA...jacking up his PA to PG level (but on a SF) is doable...

Can you reconcile these two things for me? It seems like you're criticizing us for being a "cookie cutter LI" team, but you're creating a SF with low JS/JR and high PA/IS. What offense do you propose we play? And which skills are you training that we don't think matter?

Also, we still haven't yet created players with all the skills we think matter, especially with the bigs. It will be a while before we start creating players that have so much training time we can spend it on things we don't think matter. Maybe they'll let us draft a 16 year old next season and we'll give it a go.

So with a GE change if USA is interested in building something different..

We will see how the GE changes play out, and we will adjust if we need to. We're always looking for different types of players.
