Yeah, I saw that post as well, which I would have bookmarked it as it provided a really nice breakdown of what was used to determine the rating for each position. That may not necessarily correlate to the way you play the game though.

"Vernon Gholston from the Jets. He has excellent strength (87) to play a 3-4 DE, and will provide some adequate pass rush from the position."

Gholston is not a 3-4 type DE he is a OLB in the 3-4 or DE in 4-3. A DE in a 3-4 is not looking to get sacks they are looking to fill gaps so the LBs ( usually the OLBs) can get sacks

I thought Gholston was an OLB? Wouldn't he be kind of limited in size that's required in a 3-4 DE. If I'm correct... he'd be quite the liability in the run game.

Nice article. I'm gonna go start a franchise now.

Great article. This is the kind of content that will keep me coming back to OS. I'm all about the 'chise too and I can hardly ever find any stories about what steps gamers take to build a great team. Thanks! Look forward to next week.

I guess you're starting with the first team in the alphabet, but aren't the Cardinals already a SB contender?

well I think the article is meant to be aimed at building your team for the future. just because the Cards were in the Super Bowl last season there is a great deal of work and planing to stay in that position. Good article
