Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 3187434, member: 396"] I don't mean this as a slight towards you Ivory, I am legit wondering here ... I see a lot of references to second and third lines for middies. How much run do we really expect these players to get. It's not like a ways back (i honestly dont know how far) where middies were expected to range up and down the field for large chunks of the game. It seems to me that most of these kids are highly specialized in their midfield assignments. How taxing is it for an offensive middie that it necessitates line (multiple line) rotation. We dont really rotate attackers? I know we need depth in case of injuries and things like that. Is having a "second line" more for continuity purposes. I suppose this also goes to the broader issue of having such a large roster and such large recruiting classes. [/QUOTE]
