Motion to increase sack points scoring to equal interception scoring of 5 pts.
We have to start 3 DL, but the scoring absolutley sucks for DL. If we have to start 3 of them, we should at least be able to get some production as far as FF points. If a player balls out in real life, their FF stat line should show it. B.Irvin had 2 tackles and 2 sacks last week for 9 points. That's a joke.
2 years ago, I made it through the playoffs and into the championship game, while only starting 1 DL starter. The scoring for DL is so pittiful that they are not even needed in the starting lineup. I might just stop paying salaries to DL players in the future with the current scoring system. A DL players production is already very spotty, but to not receive a decent point reward when they do produce makes them expendable at this point.

I would support the proposed scoring change.

Sacks are easier to come by than an int so I believe they should be rewarded less points

I do think Hero's makes an excellent point that the pitiful scoring for DLs makes them pretty worthless or even expendable. And that's not really good for the league.
I also see some incomplete lineups at CB and S lately. I would like the rules to encourage the submission of complete active lineups as much as possible. Besides Hero's suggestion though nothing practical comes immediately to mind.

I'll have money for CB's when I'm not wasting money DL players anymore

I support Glen's proposal. My short lineups won't appear next season when I clear expensive benchwarmers as their contracts expire.

Sacks are easier to come by than an int so I believe they should be rewarded less points DB's who get interceptions get a ton more tackles then DL players, who need the sack points to have a productive FF day. I think a sack should be worth more then an interception. In most instances, a sack is a great play by a DL player that beats the OL. In most cases, an interception is merely a bad play by a QB or WR that the DB just happens to be in the right place. Sure, there are some great plays that are interceptions, but the majority are merely the luck of the DB being in the right place at the right time when the opposing players fail to execute. So, I wouldn't reward a lucky interception over one man just beating another one on one or one on two. However, I wasn't really intending to compare the sack and the intercetion... just point out that I thought that the DL players needed a more productive scoring system and the an increase in the points awarded for sacks is the easiest thing to do. I think DL players don't score enough points to really warrant much cap money or roster spaces be attributed to that position. There are only 2 DL players that average over 10 points a week (there was only 1 last week, but Dumerville is barely over that now). 8 of the top 25 average point per week scorers for DL are currently free agents, because it's not worth putting money into them. I think that says a lot and indicates that the scoring could stand to be updated. Teams in this league are not really trying to improve themselves at the DL position, because they don't score enough to invest the cap money into the position. It's better to use the money else where to get more points for the dollar.

I too would like more points for DL but can see that interceptions should be worth more, they are more of a game changer. I would like to see 5 points for sacks but how about moving interceptions up as well to 6 or 6.5 points. This increases the value of defense across the board.

I'm about ready to start polls on these matters.
Any objection to making the sacks = 5 points proposal effective for the 2013 season?
Any interest in Dogman's idea to increase INT points?

Poll posted for sack points. Any further discussion on INT points?
