moving up from the "iron man squad"

[Butch Carter]

I think 36 is a great squad number to start with, 18 off and 18 def then add to as you need players. I think most leagues and tournment play has the offense in dark jerseys and defense in white jerseys. I have 36 players On my VT Hokies, My offense break down is 7-Oline (3t,3g,1c) 2-TE's 3-WR 2-QB 4-RB. On defense my break down goes like this, 3-DT 3-DE 5-LB's 3-CB 2-FS
2-SS. If you are going to compete in tounments or league play you better have back ups that can replace linemen on special teams, and a RB that can run right and one that can run left and QB's that can do diffrent things. Oh and you have to have rush and contain DE's (loopers). Some leagues and tournments has a roster limit.
