Back to How does a player that is out of position play?

I have Suh, Donald, Mathieu, Mack all OOP in my starting lineup. I changed their positions to still get the chems. I have two SS's in my Sub LB spots. All OVR's are lower when OOP, but their attributes stay the same.

In game, I'll typically sub a cover OLB into my other DE spot to cover the flat and/or QB spy. This technique has been amazing against running QB's, even surprises passing qb's when they try to attack the flats.

The only thing I've noticed that is affected by being OOP is the OVR rating of the player. If you're moving them to spot that fits their attributes or fits the way you're using them, then they will benefit your team/play.
