Matt and Willie Know Flag Football

Olympic Flag Football Fever... Catch it! Spike it! Do a little dance.

It looks like NFL Players will be allowed to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics much to the chagrin of the US National Flag Football Team (who have notably played and grown the sport, not to mention won multiple world championships over the last several years.)

Anywho... Matt and Willie have a flag football fantasy draft selecting only current Cincinnati Bengals players, but here is the catch, not one can play their natural position.

That's right, quarterbacks can’t play quarterback, offensive skill players can’t play receiver, defensive linemen can’t be pass-rushers, and defensive backs can’t play in coverage.

You got it?

A couple of things to note. There is no blocking in flag football, even on running plays. Also, the field is 70 yards long and only 25 yards wide.

On offense you get a quarterback and four receivers, one of who snaps the ball. Defensively you get one pass rusher and four coverage guys.

Here are the teams they came up with. They justify each pick after making the selection. Who do you think did better?
