Roster Construction

[Tank55]

USFL just dropped what I assume is just a fun tweet of Shea Patterson punting:

But I remembered that the USFL is using tight rosters, correct? I don't even see a kicker on their current roster (although there is a punter). Is there a chance that some regulars are going to be asked to cover specialist duties?

I actually think that's a great idea -- make punting rarer/more fun by having less-good punters and snappers. And you can have less good punters and snappers by forcing teams to use generalists rather than specialists through roster size.

Good find. Not a bad Kick!

Ryan Willis in TSL did this with Hal Mumme and it was extremely dangerous because teams were never ready for a fake and when they were it would be punted
