Task 27:
To preface I didn't pick safety for my current position; someone else did as I decided to give it away in the most recent charity drive auctions. If I had my pick for position, it would be offensive line again. The biggest reason was my experience in Berlin with very little offensive line skill, some points where we had no human offensive lineman at all. The offenses were terrible, I had like three seasons where we gave up nearly 70 sacks, and the running game was even worse with a 1000 TPE Armor Queen than a 350 TPE IA Rab TheCrab. The other reason is that I really don't prioritize the moments where my player is shown doing something like a sack or an interception. That lack of emphasis doesn't make the biggest bottleneck to offensive linemen apply to me. I care much more about the team's success as a whole and I know that me being there as a high TPE lineman helps as it did in the past.
Task 28:
Most of my gripes with football's rules is with the officials and their inaccuracy. Demanding perfection is obviously unreasonable, and I understand that, but the problem is that said officials refuse to utilize tools to help mitigate the imperfect human element. We saw this in 2019 with the addition of reviewable pass interference in the NFL. Only one challenge was successful in 2019 out of several dozen challenges, even in cases where pass interference was blatant. In terms of actual rule changes, the first that comes to mind is kickoffs, or the abolition of them. The NFL did radically change them in the 2024 offseason; adopting the XFL's version of a punter, kick returner, and the rest of the players standing stationary until the ball is received, but I think that's wholly unnecessary, as well as completely neutering any ability at an onside conversion. The much simpler answer in my opinion was to adopt the defunct AAF's solution albeit modified. After a score, the scoring team gets the ball on their own 30 with it being 4th and 10. They can punt the ball away or attempt the 4th down conversion. My own proposal would have no restriction on when a team could attempt on 4th down, unlike the AAFs.
