If you could only have 11 players from this past year's team to play both ways, who would they be?
5 linemen/LBs
6 backs/ends/DBs
.
Realistically, there would be no 300 lbers, but that's not feasible nowadays.
.
Ex: Florida
position - player (real position)
QB/DB - Anthony Richardson (QB)
Back/DB - Trey Dean (S)
Back/DB - Trevor Etienne (RB)
End/DB - Ricky Pearsall (WR)
Back/LB - Montrell Johhnson (RB)
End/DB - Xzavier Henderson (WR)
Line/DL - O'Cyrus Torrence (G)
Line/DL - Gervon Dexter (DT)
Line/LB - Amari Burney (LB)
Line/DL - Chris McClellan (DT)
Line/DL - Richard Gouriage (OT)
.
In actual, old-timey one-platoon, defenses were mostly 6 DL, 2 LB, 3 DB. The 6 DL included 2 edge/ends/OLBs.
If we instilled one-platoon today, it would probably be more of a 4-2, with 5 DBs.
Either way, I have a 220 lb LB playing offensive line, lol.
.
Here's the lineup:
offense:
QB richardson
RB Etienne
RB Johnson
WR Dean
WR Henderson
WR Pearsall
OL Torrence, Dexter, Burney, McClellan, Gouriage
.
defense:
DE Dexter, McClellan
DT Torrence, Gouriage
LB Johnson, Burney
CB Henderson, Dean
S Richardson, Etienne, Pearsall
.
Those 300 lbers would slim down to 250 after about a month of 60 min football games/practices, lol.
