The fact that the players that are your "mop ups" have to be on your depth chart to get the mop up minutes at the end of the game is stupid...

if that were not the case, someone else would say that the fact that players who are NOT on the depth chart get put in for mopup minutes is stupid.  They would say that they know how to designate the guy for mopup minutes and they as coach decided NOT to do so.  They would wonder why the engine is overriding their decision.

And then I would be very ****** off that a walk on was taking development minutes away from my real players .

If the guy is not on the depth chart, what position would you want him to get mopup minutes in?

It is the way it should be .. If you want some one to get minutes, put them on the depth chart :)

can I ask why this is important to you OP?

I am very sincerely wondering what would make someone care enough about mop up minutes to take even the tiny effort to open a thread? If that sounds like I'm being a dick, I'm trying not to be, I just have been thinking about it for a while and I can't come up with anything, so I'm hoping to learn something maybe

they just need to expand the depth chart to 5 spots already. that would be so awesome. is that in the poll nacho did? ill have to check, only having 4 drives me (and some other coaches heavy into depth chart control) crazy. this would also provide ample room for mop ups in most cases.

ya know what could also help - maybe create one or two further categories beyond mop up - like if mop up means garbage time, how about a distinct "emergency" category.  A guy who you prefer as your fourth choice if one guy is hurt and the others are tired but the game still IS competitive.....?

It's as gillepsie said.  I use all four depth chart sports for not mop ups.  It isn't highly important to me or anything, it's just in real life if you are up 30 you are going to take everybody who plays valuable minutes for you out.  I know it isn't a big deal but if I caught an injury in garbage time I would be upset.  And dacj, I didn't take your comment as being rude! :)
