Situation:
Late season Week 15 completed
Best starting NT on playoff bound team (34 Eagle) down for 5 weeks.
Our team is the likely top seed at 12-2...need 1 more win to entirely guarantee that...so we have 1 "important" game in the next 2...in either case we will at least have a 1st Rd BYE.
My usual Nickle D pass rush DE Has far better numbers than my 2nd NT,,,

The question: Is there a penalty for playing out of position? Rather than trying to sign a DT free agent for a few games and cut someone to make room.
The DE says under the change position tab that his height is above average and weight below average...didnt want to change his position just for a few games either, just to see the comparison.

I have played other defenders out of position a few times...a couple of games against a pass heavy team I put a SS in as the LB in the "4-5 WR" defense...but that was mostly just a brainstorm idea...seemed to do well, but no solid data on whether that Safety kept his "safety ratings" at LB either.


Thanks anyone!
