any one else allow pivots to lineman?
By allowing the O-lineman to be angles (during audible time) you can...pull the guard, pull guard and tackle to the outside (along with the RB) to run an outside screen, have the tackle block out on the outside blitz, block down to double team a strong defensive lineman, and otherwise allow lineman an opportunity to react to the defensive line configuration. Obviously the reaction capaability is limited though because the key to the whole thing is a limited number of audibles (example 3) so if you angle two lineman then you could audible only 1 RB (for example). Since the defensive line sets up after the O-line I think this would add a great element of strategy (and increased difficulty) in how to set up a defense so you don't get baited by the initial set up. Keep the feedback coming...
side bar...FF, I believe that the audibles are timed seperately from most play set up clocks (which is how I play). I know the shootout rules allow 10 seconds for offensive audibles while defense only gets 5 seconds. This is after the play clocks expire.
