Why is there a distinction in the Franchise Values made between Defensive Tackles, and Defensive ends? But there is no distinction made between any specific postion on the offensive line or at linebacker. There is a distinction made between Corner Backs and Safeties as well. Where in reality there can be a lot of overlap on what they do depending on the various schemes the teams run.

I like the way that FOF does it, but I guess it isn't really the "right" way, merely a "design decision". If you were going to tag a FB IRL, would you have to give him the RB tag, or the TE tag(claim he's an h-back or some variation thereof).

Because Gene Upshaw was a guard, not an o-tackle?
