11 player iron man teams.
Back in the early 70's when, as a kid, all I could afford were 11 player teams I usually numbered the backs and ends like their real life offensive counterparts and the guards and tackles like the defensive takles and ends and the center as the middle linebacker and yes Namath, Lamonica, Unitas, Greise, etc. played linebacker or defensive back. Didn't really matter though because I mostly concentrated on Offense rather than defense during game play anyway. One reason I chose to play my current 1930's NFL league is that players did play both ways in that era. Sammy Baugh was a great defensive back as well as a great passer and punter. Mel Hein was an all-pro linebacker as well as an offensive center. Again, solitaire is where you can do whatever you want with rosters and game play. The main thing is just to have fun and enjoy the game.
