Jack Crackerjack is developing into a pretty decent QB for the Tijuana Luchadores and their 2-QB system they’re employing. Jack has been a top QB in every level of football he’s played so far, and one of his biggest talents isn’t in his arm, it’s in his brain. Jack loves the game of football and he can break down a defense and what they’re doing QUITE quickly. So it stands to reason that JCJ would be quite the dual threat as a Deep Safety. Being able to use his vision to his advantage, JCJ would be able to stand back and read the offensive formations, and with his QB knowledge, he can bark out orders to his fellow defenders about what play is probably coming. He also studies lots of tape for each game as it is, so he’d just put more time into studying the other team’s offense as well. It should be a pretty easy transition for him to do both. (163)
Code: Written option: When it comes to traditional football terminology, most players are categorized as a Offensive or Defensive position, but what if we imagined playing on both sides of the ball as a Dual Threat? Write about your player's current position, and a position on the other side of the ball you think they could excel at given their talents. For example, if you're a Wide Receiver you could write about how your speed and hands might translate to being a Defensive Back. As an offensive linesman it is a little more difficult to think where Farkas would see himself slot in. Perhaps as a defensive tackle, be an inpenetrable pylon who can easily slam any RB to the ground who is trying to be cute. Farkas ain't the fastest so he's not sure if he will ever be in many positions to get sacks on the quarterback, but it could always happen. You just plow through one of the smaller OL on the opposing team and suddenly you can freight train your way to the QB. A fate that might even be worse than death, getting absolutely pancaked by an OL as a quarterback. At the end of the Farkas will probably never play on the defensive side of the ball. Unless he slims down a bit and starts working on his pace and endurance. So he will just continue to keep on pancaking foolish defensive players who think they can lay their hands on his QB.

Yeah, well, uh, as a kicker I feel very unrepresented right now and feel that this PT is discriminating against me right now. The opposite position from me would be a punt or kick returner. If I had to be a punt returner I would probably retire as soon as I was told I would have to play that position. Looking up into the sky getting ready to catch a ball knowing there is a man coming at you at a million miles an hour to destroy your very existence does not sound very fun to me. So, I guess it would have to be a kick returner where at least I can get a running start into my doomed fate. Plus, nobody ever kicks to the kick returner these days so I would just watch the ball go out of the back of the endzone every single time and if it didn't go out of the endzone I would let the defending team do whatever they want cause I am not touching that thing.
Howdy! I am responsible for quite possibly the greatest kicker to ever grace the ISFL and am the most accomplished media writer the ISFL has ever seen (no need to ask anyone else regarding either of those claims)

Kim Yeon-Seok is a tall, fast rangy cornerback, so you might expect his second obvious position to be a wide receiver. The problem is that he is a defensive back for a reason - he can't catch footballs well. Yeon-Seok entered the ISFL through its international player pathway and the wide receiver position was the spot that he was initially tried out at, and that experiment was so successful that he was immediately switched to trying out as a cornerback.
The truth is, if Kim Yeon-Seok was going to play "both sides of the ball", it would have to be as a special teamer, but that's not to say he wouldn't produce offensively. See, Kim Yeon-Seok has a background playing rugby, and a huge skill that he could carry over from his original sport is kicking. KY-S was a great place kicker when he was playing rugby, and he has shown in practice that he can hit a 35 yard field goal, when the team is just warming up.
Corey Trevor currently is a power back in the ISFL. Corey is in this role because of his size, power and his stubbornness because to just force things up the middle over and over. But if things were different and Corey had to play on the other side of the ball, on defense, he would either play a line backer or a defensive end. Being that he likes to bust up lines and break through them, I could see him doing the same thing on defense, doing what ever it takes to get through the OL and make a play, which making plays is all Corey ever wants to do. But thankfully he is on offense and doesn’t have to worry about playing on D, after all he’s not the brightest crayon in the box and just needs to know how to drive the ball forward. But maybe in another life we will get a Corey Trevor DE or Lb
I think its easy to say the natural transition for a Free Safety like Linz O'Fare would be to Wide Receiver. With maxed out speed, rising agility, and above average hands, you have to imagine there's a lot of deep threat potential with a good ability to shake free and a natural nose for the ball. As a Free Safety you already need to have good awareness of routes and positioning, as well as a feel for when the ball is going to come your way. With all that being the case it feels like a really straight forward swap to being the guy who the ball is supposed to come to instead of the guy who's just trying to snatch the ball away. A good feel for angles and defensive positioning also would make the transition a lot easier as a deep knowledge of defensive formations and planning means as a Wide Receiver you'd be able to find the gaps in zones and exploit scheme mismatches much easier. Overall I think a Ball Hawking intelligent Free Safety with good hands could easily make the transition to a sneaky expert route runner that exploits the variety of holes in a defense and makes them a nightmare to play against.
As a kicker/punter this seems a little neglectful. But I will give it a shot anyways. On offense, I’d be quarterback, duh. With the intelligence for football that Kicker punter requires, these two positions can see the game similarly. On defense, I would for sure be a linebacker. I would be getting all those tackles. Sometimes I chase them down when I’m kicking and they say boy if we had you on defense the opponent’s offense would not have a chance getting past us ever. We shut things down on them and make it impossible for them to go down the field. But, my experience at kicking punting is where it’s at. I am needed to kick these balls down the field and pin the opponents right in between the end zone and the 5-yard line. It’s somewhat a specialty to be honest. But what really would be opposite of kicker punter? Maybe put me in as the coach and let’s see what happens.

Larton Hilnka has always prided himself as a strong football player. When you compare his strength around the league you can see that it is something that makes him so dangerous when the ball is in his hand. He has recently made the transition over to Tight End and will no longer be a Running Back. So far that swap is working out well for him and he thinks that because this swap is going so well that perhaps he could be an awesome dual threat athlete in terms of offense and defense. If he did have to play on the defensive side of the ball the natural spot for him would be at Linebacker. His strength and ability to track the football seem to make it a very straight forward choice for him to play in the center of the field. Also in his younger days he thoroughly enjoyed the physical aspect of playing Linebacker and making the offensive players scare to cross your path.

Widdle Warrick would easily translate to a slot receiver if he turned into a dual threat player. While Warrick's size can be viewed as a negative for a wide receiver he's quite shifty and his lack of weight shows up the least as a receiver. As long as he's not pressed and bullied off the line he'd be able to create separation and use his experience as a cornerback to find open areas for his quarterback. While he's quick I don't think he'd do well as a deep threat as the defense would tower over his Ewok-frame. As a result, being able to cut and get horizontal separation on the field of play would suite him best. Any other position except for maybe placeholder for the kicking squad would simply mean he'd be overpowered. I guess he could also fill a Taysom Hill-type role where he has gadget plays designed for his unique frame/skills.
