spankweasel posted:Why do NFL teams not experiment with 2 QBs / 1 RB backfields? The skillset of a qb and a RB are different. And running the ball is loving dangerous. All the rules about protecting qbs is because they are delicate flowers that take up a bunch of payroll.

1) There's a huge class / race spread between niners and raiders fans. I've had people say to me, "How are you a Raider fan? You're white!" At Candlestick, I've been (almost) kicked out for... cheering too loudly. The non-white raider fan I was high fiving a row below me WAS kicked out. 2) Both stadiums kind of suck. Getting to Candlestick sucks, getting to the coliseum is easier, especially on bart. 3) Niner tailgates run the gamut from brie and wine to ghetto as gently caress. Raider tailgates are more uniformly ghetto as gently caress. BUT, if you're wearing a jersey, and especially if you smoke weed, you'll be welcome at most any tailgate.

Lessail posted:Have there been any good books about football strategy and concepts for beginners/novices that has been released since the thread started? I'm looking for something to take my knowledge a bit further and reading TFF this past season has helped tremendously with that. I tried to read smartfootball.com but there was a lot of namedrops that made it difficult to find a starting point and work from there. I think the best way for a novice to pick up these ideas is to play madden, honestly. They diagram and name the plays and you can see how the plays...play out.

oddIXIbbo posted:Some folks I previously worked with were able to leave astrophysics and start their own business when they started applying some of the statistical analysis tools to football statistics. Things like how often quarterback 'w' on team 'x' throws to the left side when faced with defense alignment 'y' with 'z' minutes left in the half. That sounds really cool, but football resists these sort of sabermetric efforts because there are so many more moving pieces than baseball. In baseball it is essentially the same play repeated over 2000 games over a 100 years of record. That's a lot of data. In football, you may only have 30 pass attempts in a game, and to different receivers with different coverages in different yardage situations. There are just too many variables with too few plays for this to make sense. It becomes a model of the simplfying assumptions instead of anything more illuminating.

What other people said, but next time you see a game live, sit in the end zones for a different perspective. Its much easier to see the run game and the blocking schemes from that view than from the sides or TV.

Can someone explain the different punt formations, specifically the difference between college and nfl formations? I'm college it seems pretty common to have two or three extra blockers in front of the punter, not do much in the nfl. Is the o line just better in the nfl? Why the extra protection for the punter?

Ok it's 4th and 10. A pass is thrown and caught short of the first down marker. The receiver fumbles, then defense picks it up and runs it a little, then fumbles, the original offense recovers. It's short of the first down. So is it a first down or does the offense turn it over on downs?

TreFitty posted:My wife wants to watch a football game with me - specifically the Seahawks tomorrow. Her co-workers know all about the game, the team, etc. and wear Seahawks things on Fridays. I know next to nothing about football beyond most of the rules (as I played it a ton as a kid). We want to watch live, but that seems to require cable tv, which we don't have. Is there anything I can use with an apple tv and iPad combo to make this happen? It looks like even the NFL doesn't want this to work even if you pay them. Any search terms you can suggest or specific sites or whatever? I'm not sure if this is the right thread or not... Probably the easiest way is to get a digital antenna for your tv. There's a lot of good tv still being broadcast over the air. And if the game is on a national network, its likely to be there. Picture is really good too.

Zoran posted:I don't understand why you're not allowed to go for two from the 15. You're allowed, right? Holder flub the ball and runs it in? Choosing to run a set play from the 15 when you could do it from the 2 is just too dumb to even have a rule against it.. From the previous post though, if the offense is set up at the 15 to kick and the defense gets called for a penalty, do they get the choice at the point to take the half the distance penalty from the 2 to the 1 and go for the conversion? Or are they locked into the kick attempt?

I got volunteered to coach my kids flag football team. I have no idea what I'm doing. One of the other coaches in our division is the 20yr tenure high school football coach. How the hell do I run the ball in a zero contact league?

Spoeank posted:AT&T Park Those are awful strange emoticons for freezing your rear end off. Also, I really like the idea of using baseball fields to host football games.  I think the pendulum will start to swing the other way once cities realize how much money they're wasting on stadiums and try again to use the same facility for both. The angles are weird when you build for the infield, but it can be done.

Henchman of Santa posted:Chasing people and reacting to their motions is more tiring than running a route or blocking assignment I'm trying to see that.. maybe. But that would mean o line work would be harder than d line. I see corners running with their man but in zones the DBs seem to sit back more then go 100%.

SkunkDuster posted:Kind of a silly question, but say LB sacks QB and causes a fumble. QB recovers the fumble and gets back up to throw and the same LB tackles him again behind the line. Does the LB get credit for two sacks in one play? iirc, a sack is a tackle. So if the QB fumbled before being down by the LB, it's not a sack. Although, if the fumble is recovered by the defense, the LB is awarded a sack.
