That player is a CB I moved to DT. He's 5'11 and weigh in at 192 lbs. Will he get pushed around a lot, or will his 98 strength be what decides things?

well what i have been told is player will gain weight or lose weight depending on the position.

knowing that he should gain weight for the position and probably before he gets the weight he needs he will be pushed around.

Make sure he goes through TC at C, I think that helps him

I had a guy I drafted at CB who didn’t have a great rating at that position. His best position was DT, so I switched him over. He was never going to be a star in the first place, but he did okay as a second and third stringer. Not spectacular, but serviceable. I kept him around for a few seasons before having to cut him.

Yes, size does matter in many calculations, definitely including blocking engagements.

So who would win?

A big, heavy O-line man with 40 strength or my smaller, but super strong CB-turned-DT?

Is that where we're at, in regards to how much he'll get pushed around or is it at the point where my lil' guy is simply unable to play the position until he puts on some natural padding?
