I've seen a lot of crazy trick plays on offense such as the statue of liberty, hook and ladder, etc., and the more common attempts at deception such as the play-action pass and the draw play. What about trick plays/ deceptions on defense? Are there any?

What about trick plays/ deceptions on defense? Are there any? The biggest thing that comes to mind is the "fake blitz". You will see like 7 guys right at the line of scrimmage, all with their motors going and flinching like crazy like they are about to tee off. Then all the LB's will drop into coverage at the snap. Its similar to the philosophy behind the 3-4 in that you don't know exactly who is coming, so its harder to call out protection ahead of time. Sometimes they will try to disguise coverages too. Make it seem like its man/zone when its actually vice versa. You can also have a delayed blitz, where a lineback will initially drop into coverage, and kind of like how a RB reads for gaps and lanes, they will shoot that gap. It works well in certain down and distance situations, especially if the offense is running a play that takes time to develop. However, this play itself also takes time to develop, and could leave a comeback route vulnerable.

Closest thing would be a zone blitz. Dropping pass rushers into coverage and putting coverage guys closer to the line to blitz are probably the only "misleading" plays on defense. In that sense any sort of blitz involving a defensive back would probably be considered a "trick" play. So to answer your question, no, not really.

There's also a defensive play the Patriots started using against Peyton Manning that's come into some vogue in obvious passing situations. Everyone but the cornerbacks and deep safety just muddle in a cloud before the snap. Just constantly shifting around, not getting set, and at the snap then take their assignments. It prevents QB's from calling out protections and confuses blockers. Of course if you're in a position where you can just run the ball against this front, well...

I had to go back and rewatch the play like a million time giggling like a little school girl.

I wouldn't have though it was real, except my roommate saw it too and we watched it again the next day for maximum hilarity. And the best part of watching Hawaii is that if it is a home game it kicks off at like midnight east coast time, meaning starting with the noon games you get like 15 straight hours of football on a Saturday. Is it football season yet?

I'm wondering if there are any good podcasts/daily update sites for a football fix? I saw a lot of posters in SAS touting The Basketball Jones and I really enjoyed that when I gave it a chance but obviously they don't cover the NFL so I'm wondering what the general consensus is for podcasts that are both informed and (somewhat) unbiased news/analysis.

I think the consensus best straight-updates site is https://www.rotoworld.com's Player News tab. It's actually the only thing I check since so much "analysis" is awful.

The ones I've seen are made of urethane foam, with a flexible plastic shaft in the middle to stick it in the ground. The whole thing costs about $0.50, so if it breaks it's not a big lost.

Your Gucci ones that you'll see at any place that's had money to spend in the last little while will be made of extremely lightweight foam in a fluro fabric jacket, with a little shaft or spring in the bottom; these will collapse quite happily no matter what angle you land on them and then recover their shape, possibly after a little gentle encouragement. Older ones that you'll see at high schools that have to buy textbooks with that cash are generally freestanding; they'll often also be heavy, dense and rigid so that they won't fall over in a gentle breeze; they will hurt on that once-in-a-blue-moon occasion when some poor kid falls on them the wrong way.

What's the benefit of putting a player on the physically unable to perform list and losing them for six games to start the season? What if they're ok to play after four games?

Vander posted:So what's this mean? I'm not 100% sure this is the case, but it would mean that putting a player on the PUP list doesn't count him as one of the 53 man roster while he's on the PUP list, meaning you have a free spot to keep someone else on the roster. Same principle as putting players on IR. They're still on your team, but don't take up one of the 53 roster spots and don't have to go through waivers or anything like they would if you just released them from the 53 man roster

For future reference though firstrow.eu is usually a pretty good source. Also welcome to the Redskins fan club. Come for the racist name, stay for the crushing agony of defeat.

Is there an NFL equivalent of MLB.tv? If so, does it black out foreign markets for all games? My friend is interested but she thinks there is a 5 day blackout in the UK, which sounds poo poo. Is that right?

They black out games that are available on TV locally, and you can watch those games 6 days later in their archives, so that might be what she means. It's supposed to be available in Canada as well, but it's redirecting me to an 'unavailable' site right now. Check http://gamepass.nfl.com/ for more information

The NFL has to do some sort of drug testing on the coaching staffs, right? I had this really ridiculous image in my head of some paradigm shattering coach who implements crazy, off-the-wall game plans that no one's even thought of before and as he's interviewed post Super Bowl its revealed that he's been dropping multiple tabs of LSD /hitting the pipe before each game. Besides the fact that, for many reasons, what I described is a highly improbable scenario, could some coach out there actually get away with something like this on the sneak?

I'd be a little surprised if they did bother testing the coaching staffs, since drugging a coach up doesn't confer any obvious competitive advantage that owners would get worked up about. If a coach got caught, I'm sure there are all sorts of morality clauses that the league could throw at them, though.

This might be the wrong place to ask, but is anyone aware of any football roster management software? Stuff that allows you to maintain a roster, set depth chart, stuff like that? Web based is even better.

If you mean like a menu based football "game" the only one I ever tried was Football Mogul that someone posted on here last season when they started the linked promotion (Free game for Liking them on Facebook). It' actually really fun and deep, but as far as I know there's no web based version.
