That's giving up an entire stack of totes and can, at least, compared to 148's best performances. If 148 sticks to the left edge of the field, the center and right sides of the field can be open for 1114 and 118 to play in. 148 doesn't need to move too much other than to their loader, can holder, and the goal, so I feel they can keep their tether manageable.
