Are there any free statistic banks out there on total QB sacks/hits/hurries per defense?

Didn't someone post a good resource that showed Sanchez was the worst under pressure? Trying to find it now. http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/01/31/pressure-and-the-2011-quarterbacks/

I just remembered that the Seahawks used to be an AFC team. They moved them to the NFC during the division restructuring in 2002 and brought the Texans into the AFC. I'm wondering why the Texans weren't just made an NFC team from the start. Anybody know what the deal is with that? huh?

Buffalo Baltimore Denver Arizona Chicago Atlanta
Indianapolis Cincinnati Kansas City Dallas Detroit Carolina
Miami Cleveland Oakland NY Giants Green Bay New Orleans
New England Jacksonville San Diego Philadelphia Minnesota St. Louis
NY Jets Pittsburgh Seattle Washington Tampa Bay San Francisco
Tennessee
So if they're in the South of one of the two conferences, yeah, I guess it could have been NFC and each would have 16, but then you'd have the new NFC West as San Francisco, Arizona, St. Louis...? Do you really take Minnesota in there? And in the NFC South you now have Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Tampa Bay, and Carolina on the outside looking in. It would kind of be a logjam on both sides. Switching Seattle broke up a couple half-rivalries but it was the better solution.

Also, the Houston Oilers were an AFL team originally, so there's a bit of history behind a Houston team in the AFC.

What exactly is a scheme? Is it a particular strategy that a coach will use for a specific opponent or is it more like wrinkles added to a frequently used play?

A scheme tends to be less specific than either of those, it generally refers to the general gameplan or philosophy. I've heard it referred to defense more than offense. A defensive alignment utilizing three down lineman and four linebackers could be called a "3-4 defense" or a "3-4 scheme." An offense based off of lining up a 4+ receivers on every play would probably be called a "spread offense" but I've never or rarely called it a "spread scheme."

I have no real proof of this but I think scheme is generally used to describe a kind of broad type of gameplanning or strategy. 4-3 and 3-4 get called schemes, you'll hear about zone blocking schemes and blitz schemes. I suppose I'd define a 'scheme' as I usually hear it (from announcer/analyst types I mean) as a plan to account for whatever the other team might do and/or create mismatches that you can take advantage of. There's probably a technical way coaches think of scheming that I'm not aware of, I'm just thinking of how I hear regular idiots like most of us talk about things.

Scheme is one of those words that has several meanings and they all depends on the speaker and context. For example, Rex Ryan and Greg Manusky both run a 3-4 defense, but their schemes are wildly different. Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy run the same offense and use basically the same scheme (aggressive downfield dropback passing using flood, levels and smash concepts) with minor personal variations. Philosophy is related to scheme, but they are not the same. Your philosophy will dictate your scheme. The broad scheme of an offense or defense is what you draw up on the blackboard and it would be successful everytime against a hypothetical opponent running a base defense/offense. This is your offensive system, so to speak. Of course opponents don't always play their base packages and even within their base packages players won't always play honest, and sometimes game situations dictate optimal playcalls, but this doesn't change that you have a core set of principals threaded through a majority of your offense or defense upon which you rely to be successful. You also have schemes that are an overarching set of rules applied to a certain action, like blocking. You have zone blocking schemes, in which every run play with a zone blocking rule set or scheme will involve the same responsibilities for each player, regardless of if it is inside, outside, left, right etc. Similarly there are various pass blocking schemes that use the same rule sets. An example of this might be your 7 step drop series, which employs BoB (Big on Big) protection for numerous plays. No 2 plays in the 700 series might be the same, but the offensive lineman will use the same rules to block each time. (This all applies to that hypothetical perfect world, x's and o's on the blackboard scenario, as we will see in the next paragraph why some rules might change.) Now on an weekly basis, you can scheme or gameplan. Say that you are the New York Jets, and you have an upcoming game against the Cowboys. You are afraid DeMarcus Ware might paralyze Mark Sanchez on the field because Wayne Hunter is the worst tackle in football and even the best tackles have a real hard time blocking Ware 1v1. You will (or you should) scheme to neutralize this pass rush threat by using players out of the backfield to chip block, keeping in a TE, changing line protections to slide towards Ware in certain situations etc. Now on the level of a single play, there is a scheme, or the actual schematics of formation, alignment, technique, assignment, etc. Individual plays are often prone to gameplan scheme tweaks on a weekly basis and also incorporate some of the rule set schemes like zone blocking, and usually are part of the broad offensive system scheme. So scheme can refer to many different things, you just have to rely on the context to determine how it is meant.

Also Seattle was really terrible in the AFC West, no real rivalries developed, and all their home games seemed to be half empty so a fresh start was probably for the best.

Not sure if is will be as detailed as what you are looking for, but I know Wolfram Alpha recently uploaded a bunch of NFL data. You can find some example queries you can run listed here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/NationalFootballLeague.html I used this to pull some stats on QB's for their first few years (Romo, Peyton, Eli) in some simple analysis. And I tried to look up defense sacks in a year, and it looked like it pulled the data.

Question for the UK NFL fans in here, what's the best place to watch games? Is there a website that streams them/has them available to download afterwards (legally)? I don't mind paying a subscription fee.

I don't mind paying a subscription fee. How much do you not mind paying a subscription fee? I drop ~£160 every year on NFL Gamepass, which streams every game live and glorious EXCEPT the two that Sky broadcast on Sunday afternoon, and gives you access to an archive of every game in either full (with adverts trimmed) or compressed (just live play) versions. Last year they also provided the 2010 and 2009 archives but I'm not sure if that will be the same this year. The games that Sky shows are held out of the archive for a week but most other games go up the day after they happen. I think it's very good value for money, except when the Eagles play in one of the blacked-out games. Unfortunately it doesn't last in to the playoffs, so I usually buy a one-off month of Sky for that (they have a web player for subscribers too).

I don't mind paying a subscription fee. There are lots of online streams for NFL games that are usually posted in the game-day threads. Their legality and quality are sometimes questionable, but they're free.

They do offer a cheaper package that is one team only, I can't recall how much it is. The Eagles tend to be in two or three blacked out games a year in my experience.

Basically it was dug up that there's a number of videos out there and information on swinger and fetish websites that match up with Rex and his wife, and when the New York media pounced, he admitted it. And yeah, the videos were of the two of them doing foot fetish stuff apparently.

Ok thanks. I thought it had to do with someone else, maybe a player, lusting after his wife's feet or something but that was probably some joke post I read.

This is something I've wondered about for awhile and I just thought now to ask. Why do teams exchange late-round draft picks in the same round in a trade? It seems like it happens in almost every trade.

It seems like it happens in almost every trade. Sometimes it's Belichick loving around, but other times it's a way to tweak the value of a trade. Player A for Player B is straightforward. Player A for Player B plus 4th round pick is straightforward, but maybe that's a little too much and team B doesn't have a later round pick or team A isn't interested. Player A plus 6th round pick for Player B plus 4th round pick doesn't cost either side a player for speculation, but it lets Team A get a little more for their player. Basically, each pick has some monetary value and picking one spot earlier is worth X dollars. Trading picks lets you get down to a fair trade more precisely.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but the whole thing seemed to blow over fairly quick. Considering the market and the personality involved you figured it would have been a lot bigger and looking back it doesn't seem like it was. Like it was a week or so of jokes and then kind of gone.

It's impossible to troll people in fantasy football unless you're good at working the waiver wire. Any other option and people will ignore you.

Allow me to elaborate; my idea is to pick over rated players and ones with eastern euproean last names and some how mess up everyone elses team picks and come out with 1:1 win/loss ratio. I don't even know the waiver wire. I have never done fantasy sports.

I'd say the best troll would be to actually kick everyone's asses if they expect you to not know much. I'm sadly no help with good or bad fantasy advice, the Armchair QB subforum will have plenty of fantasy folks chatting once we get a little closer to the actual season. I just watched that Bart Scott interview again and I think my favorite thing about it is that he lands before doing the interview.
