Grittybeard posted:He was a good player. Just imagine him with all that athleticism he had at the start of his career and actually caring about poo poo like learning to read defenses. Or if he hadn't gone to prison and gone back to starting at almost square one. Vick is kind of a tragic figure in that he could've been one of the best ever, and that's our loss, but luckily it's easy to not feel sorry for him.

EvilHawk posted:In a game what is the role of the various positional coaches? Is there a direct line of communication (e.g. Head Coach/OC decides on a play -> positional coaches give instructions), or is all that decided before hand in training and the coaches just make sure everything is working and give feedback between plays? Not really between plays, since the players are on the field. You'll see them a lot when the other unit is on the field. Like when the defense is on the field, the offensive line coaches are over with the offensive line giving feedback over the last drive and telling them what they are seeing and what each player in the line needs to do.

CannonFodder posted:The United States of America cared more about the fact that the gambling took place across state borders more than anything else. If he kept it in Virginia he would have been fine because Virginia wouldn't care. This is pure nonsense. Vick's ranch was in Virginia, probable cause for the raid were the testimonies of a dogfighting informant, and a drug dealer who lived in the ranch getting arrested and talking, both of whom were in Virginia, and the operation was run by Virginia state police.

Yet the record for longest field goal is like a yard further than it was 40 years ago.

No Safe Word posted:A large part of that is because the risk/reward usually says "just punt it". It's not that they couldn't make 65+ yarders given multiple tries, it's just that it's generally a terrible coaching decision to actually attempt it. At 60+ yards teams will often punt, even if they are desperate for points late in the game, to try and play the field position battle. They like their odds at forcing a 3 and out and playing the field position game more than their odds of kicking a field goal of equal length to one a dude with half a foot kicked 40 years ago.

Grittybeard posted:Yeah they changed it to the spot of the kick on a missed field goal at some point, maybe at the same time they started using specific kicker balls? Sometime after 1995 or so at the least,. The NFL really has done a few things to try to make kicking harder or a harder decision for a coach and none of it has worked at all unless you're talking 60+ yards. They could make the end zone deeper too.

Things might be different now since the Broncos suck, but a few years ago I paid twice as much for seats that were half as good as what I've seen at other stadiums for tickets to Raiders/Broncos at mile high. Seats are really in demand, and if you buy last minute, you may end up making the trip just to end up in poo poo seats where you can't see anything. Especially so if you try to go for a primetime or division game. You're safe to book travel, but when tickets go on sale, I'd see what your options are asap. Also keep in mind that if you go later in the season, it's going to be cold. as. gently caress.

That system is run by league officials, not the teams. The back up helmets are kept under lock and key, and use is monitored. It's not really something you can exploit.

The play summary for the time James Jones fumbled twice is probably pretty funny.
