What is wrong?
1. GLR requires less run focused players than RRD and RR? Why?
2. GLR doesn't let you have 3 DL? Why?
3. RRD and RR are the same because the 11th player for RRD can only be a 7th DL/LB. Why? Might as well just make RR plays and never make another RRD play ever again.
Considering the stubbornness of several coaches to keep RR with 4 DBs, this would be the best way to fix this mess. Changes are underlined.
