Top 5 Most Important Positions

[Leftwich]

When he's got all day, I'm sure just about anybody could do the job ;)

We call him Eli Manning.

You Canadians don't know shit about football. Who is getting the coaches signals on D? Most likely MLB. Thank you. Hockey sucks.

Anyone with half a brain can relay a coaches signals.

Meh.
Free safety could get the signals.
Hell, an OLB could.
Getting the signals isn't that big a deal.

I still take a franchise corner over a franchise MLB every day and twice on Sunday.

(For the eventual playoff loss ... thanks to no D)

[zack54attack]

QB, RB, DL, OL, KR/PR

In no order

[Sportsbuck]

It's usually the MLB, and we should remember that this same player also may audible on D. Both you and Dave FAIL.

First off, are you really placing the MLB as one of the most important because he relays the calls on the field?

I know for my team the corner on the coaches side relays the coverages to the safety who relays it to the other corner.

I could go on, but its YOU who fails for not thinking that a safety, corner, dlineman, or OLB could call an audible or relay the calls.

I know this probably doesn't mean much but if you wanna go by Franchise tag amounts (Top 5 paid at that position) in 2009 the list would be:

1. QB
2. CB
3. WR
4. DE
5. OL

Dude, what goes on in your Pop Warner team is not representative of the NFL. Most of the time the liaison between the players and the staff is the MLB [he has the radio helmet]. As i've pointed out before, the same player is often allowed to audible.

You FAIL again:

Which linebacker gets the radio in the 3-4? :bootyshake:

[kyhadley]

Its not automatically the MLB that has the radio helmet, any player on the defense can have it...

[dell71]

blitz is cracking me up with the pics. Wow...

Anyhoo, for me

1. QB
2. LT (or RT depending on which hand your qb throws with)
3. MLB
4. FS
5. DT

I personally put the MLB & the FS in the top 5 because these two guys will most help my defense control the middle of the field. Good ones at either position are like queens on a chessboard, they can do a lot of different things. And being a big fan of the 4-3, I need those DTs to keep my MLB clean and clog up the middle.

I would actually have CB fairly low because they're easier to hide if you're front 7 is good. Having a great corner is a bonus but if opposing teams don't have much time to throw the ball I'm not going to get killed without one. And if you can't get a ton of pressure on the qb then there are all sorts of zones you can use to mask their weaknesses.

Let's not get it twisted, though. For my money the o-line is by far the most important unit.

[Blick]

QB
LT
RE
DT
C

[Irish]

QB, OT, Center, MLB, Corner

[ATL Jones Bro]

Wow i'm surprised on the lack of HB picks. They can control the clock and give you the advantage.

My positions:
QB, HB, SS, CB, DT

[adembroski]

1. Right End or Linebacker, depending on the system
2. Quarterback
3. Long snapper
4. Free Safety
5. Center
