Scotty posted:Choosing a team The Miami Dolphins are the obvious choice here. We have the funniest/wackiest player in the league in Ricky Williams, the Wildcat, and legendary NFL iron-man Chad Pennington who has twice returned from major injury to win Comeback Player of the Year award. Also we have the best avatars in TFF and you'll be part of this highly exclusive gang. Also this: Cool Photos!:

TheSkipster posted:Looks like the slot receiver. I love the fact the Chargers DBs are aware enough to see whats about to happen so they shove the two receivers into each other. Also, I might be wrong but something very similar happened to the Raiders again last season but I can't remember exactly what it was.

Wait, I thought people called him AD more than AP? I thought the All Day nickname was used a lot more often, am I wrong?

Dramatika posted:Wikipedia says they banned tinted facemasks except for medical need in the 1998 season. I tried looking for a better source, but suprise, NFL.com doesn't seem to have a listing of rule changes by year. Yeah it was 1998 when they were banned and it's across the board, from pee-wee to college, then the pros. The last time I recall someone wearing a visor for any reason other than medical was Ronnie Brown a few years back. He rocked the Fire Visor because it made him stand out, and then got fined for it. Helmet visors are badass. I understand why they banned them, but I still don't like it.

tk posted:That is not badass. That's like when you were in elementary school and you wanted to get the lazer background on your school picture, but your mom made you get the standard blue because she was not an idiot. Maybe it's just me then, but I think it goes well with the uniform well so maybe that is why I like it.

konna posted:Why is the NFL Combine in Indianapolis? Any specific reason why it's there every year? I'm going to assume the central location (well, kind of) of Indianapolis, along with the dome, make it the easiest location for all the teams, players and everyone else to get to. You're going to need a dome to conduct all the drills at and it's the only dome in the middle of the country. I could be wrong though, that's just my guess.

Dominion posted:That plus Lucas Oil Stadium is known to have a very fast running track, which inflates (or deflates, I guess) everyone's 40 stats and makes them look better. I had no idea about this part. That's really interesting actually.

McKracken posted:In the NFL, or any passing system remotely based off a pro offense, the passing game will contain 3 major series. These are 3, 5 and 7 step passes (there's also the screen game, but that's a bit different.) There are very specific mechanics for the QB to follow after taking the snap and getting into his drop while properly setting his feet and throwing the ball. Going off this, I always see people bring up proper footwork and stuff like that and I've always wondered what this entailed. Can someone go into detail and maybe post some links to youtube or something that can show me good v. bad footwork.

jeffersonlives posted:I'll see what I can come up with, but in general these types of coaching tools and tapes cost some money and wouldn't be on Youtube. Not even so much coaching tapes, but maybe just quarterback highlight videos perhaps and what I should look for would be awesome. I know you know your stuff incredibly well so anything you can provide would be awesome.

Kalli posted: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. 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.
