Number of players Revisited.

[mark robin]

whats the least number of players you can use and have a competitive team.

ive always thought it was 16. you obviously need relativly straight running guys for special teams. so if your linemen are pretty straight, you could use some of them on kickoffs. on a minimal squad, your recievers should all be able to get at least 50 yds downfield before going out of bounds. also, your RB's and cornerbacks and QB should be halfway straight runners. by having a few more than 11 guys on your team, it opens you up for a couple of specialist, like "loopers"- which probably wont do well on a kick team .ive always tried to have a straight running center, and as you go left and right from center, they will have slight natural arching tendancies.
1 WR should veer left, 1 should veer right. TE should be relatively straight.

remember, a straight, properly tweaked TTC base can add tons of GOOD too your team, by actually using the dial.

whats your minimum number and why.
