Sorry if this has already been posted.

OL's play just about every Down. They also still have endurance bars so they do not seem to be coming out of the game like other positions do to lack of endurance / tiredness. That has to mean one of two things. As they get tired their playing level drops, or two endurance does not matter for OL's.

If the answer to this is that the OL's ability drops due to low endurance it probably means the Endurance bar for OL's just became very important.

It also seems to mean unless I get injuries on the OL I don't require as many backups as we did previously.

I can see this getting abused :devil:

thoughts?

In the NFL they play on just about every down. Here's the relevant info from the Help File on this:For the other positions, you choose a percentage of plays that player participates in. The game will use your starter based on his endurance rating, unless it is higher than the base percentage. Overused players can get tired, and they will be less effective in subsequent games. The base percentage is adjusted based on player positions. In general, offensive linemen play a much higher percentage of plays than other players. Defensive linemen play the least.So it sounds like endurance is more important now for OL.
