I've started playing flag football after playing football 10 years ago. I've stopped playing football because I tore my ACL in both of my knees.
Beeing a defensive end / outside linebacker I can say that the bigger positions don't really translate to flag football. You can't really block other people without real contact. We are playing 5 on 5 - but I can't imagine how contact less football would work 11 on 11.
I enjoy playing some flag football, because it's a nice workout and some of the aspects of football are in (different coverages, beating routes...)
