Out of position players

My starting LT made that tackle, which begs the question... what the heck was he doing playing defense? Sure, my d-line is banged up from injuries, but there's still 6 active and plenty of LBs to choose from if need be. The logic on subbing needs a little tweaking, I think, or some way to indicate that certain players may never be utilized outside their depth chart rankings (or somehow otherwise deprioritize them). After watching my 85 rated RT give up 2 sacks and multiple holds versus a 48 rated DE, I really can't afford having my o-linemen expend any of their energy elsewhere, haha.

+1 I had LT and C's playing both receivers and defensive linemen in a preseason game, even though I have 3 players at both positions. and I surely had enough receivers 6 or 7 of them were active.

Same here. Linemen running the ball while running backs are playing on defense, along with many other out of position play occurring.

Wait until you have an out of position player pick up a really bad injury, needless.

Not for the first time my LT is playing WR, this time got a TD, a winning one - http://cust12.myfootballnow.com/watch/446#89606.
He has never ever been listed as a WR or TE so am puzzled as to why this should happen.
5 WRs dressed for this game, so its not like there wasn't enough depth or they were gassed.

I'll definitely make this a priority to figure out why that's happening.

Looks like he was lined up as a TE.

offensive lineman are very good receivers for me in the preseason, and i dont have them listed at WR. Maybe you should switch receivers over to off. lineman and off. lineman to WR ;)
