Agreed for sure on the Pinball/GM aspect.
But I also believe, like Shatto above, that a back-up defensive player/ special teams linebacker, could/should easily be able to learn the ultra part-time position on offence enough to be able to go in and do the job well enough in case the one main fullback goes down; I would not say that for a defensive player being counted on to play receiver or tailback though. Of course blocking schemes are important. So what do you think of the number of CFL teams now who dress just one back-up O-lineman on the game roster? - 2 injuries in-game to O-linemen have happened before; so then you see a big D-lineman forced to go into the game at O-line? = myopic, dumb, embarrassing IMO, especially with CFL rosters so large now.
