We already have a TON of advantages over the CPU (VASTLY better recruiting, even with house rules, VASTLY better play calling, better game management, etc, etc) that we really don't need another.

By 2 deep I mean 2 at every position that starts, so for a spread offense (like mine) whose base formation is 10 personnel I'd couldn't RS anyone that would be in the depth chart here:
QB - 2
HB - 2 (but I frequently use 2 backs so I go 4 deep here)
TE - 2 (I have a few 12 personnel packages)
WR - 6 (since my base personnel is 10)
OL - 2 (I run a no huddle and frequently have my 2nd team OL on the field as the 1st teamers get tired)

Likewise for my 3-4 I'd have to have this # in my depth chart before I could RS anyone:
DE - 4
DT - 2
OLB - 4
MLB - 4
CB - 4
FS - 2
SS -2
I do like this rule and may consider using this sometime down the road
