Make A Wish

The RC has been discussing a rule change, and we're looking to get the input of all owners to see where you all stand on this.

We're discussing abolishing the wishbone (3 RB) starting formation. Which would mean, you can only start a maximum of TWO RBs in your lineup.

This would add an interesting strategic wrinkle to your draft/roster strategy. There are several ways of thinking here.

With the increase in # of RB-by-committees across the NFL, there are less quality starting RBs to go around. So people hoarding the RBs early, will essentially be drafting their 1st backup by the time they draft their 3rd RB.

By the same token, this could make RBs more valuable, and it may be worth it to some to fortify their depth by drafting multiple RBs early. But as I said, it would be along the same line as taking a 2nd QB in an early round (sort of).

I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Please go to the IFL website and vote on the poll. It will be up until Sunday 8/10, and a decision will be made by the RC early next week, if not sooner.
