Barudak posted:Given that for many teams the difference between a mediocre veteran and middling rookie are minimal expect lots of teams to start filling up on rookies on cheap contracts and trying to dump every non-lynchpin veteran on their roster. The veteran minimum salary cap offset should fix this in the mediocre veteran zone (a veteran can get up to around a 50% salary cap discount).

DrKennethNoisewater posted:What are the rules for requiring NFL games for the local team to be broadcast on local stations? Specifically, if I live in the Twin Cities and the Vikings are playing on ESPN or NFLN, are they required to be on a local broadcast station (assuming no blackout)? They were on the local CBS affiliate for MNF - is that a requirement, or do the local stations just have the option to do so? Looks like those travel with the preseason games. quote:Monday Night Football is currently aired on ESPN, and Thursday Night Football is broadcast on the NFL Network; however, in the markets of the participating teams, the respective cable channel is blacked out. The cable station's feed in the markets of the participating teams airs via broadcast syndication to an over-the-air station. Typically, the team's flagship station for the preseason games will hold such rights, as teams will usually sell the preseason and local ESPN/NFL Network games as one package. Only over-the-air stations in the market of the participating teams may bid on this syndicated package.

THE MACHO MAN posted:How exactly is cap hit determined Oh, God, you don't know what you're asking. According to the latest CBA - http://images.nflplayers.com/mediaResources/files/PDFs/General/2011_Final_CBA_Searchable_Bookmarked.pdf - you're looking at Article 13, which starts at page 90 and runs through page 108, and in particular Section 6 (Valuation of Player Contracts), from page 92 through the top of page 107. To grossly oversimplify (note that when I say "2014" and "2015", think of these as "this league year" and "a later league year"): 1) Start with the player's actual salary to be paid in 2014. 2) Move anything that will be earned in 2014 but paid later in 2015 into the hit for 2015. This is one source of dead money. 3) Add in any signing bonus, divided into each year of the contract (so for a 5 year contract, 1/5 of the signing bonus is applied to each year). Another source of dead money. 4) Note that if you cut a player, you accelerate all remaining years' worth of cap hits (so if you cut a player in year 1 of 5, in year 2 all of the remaining signing bonus is a cap hit). 5) Incentives are added into the cap immediately if "likely to be earned", otherwise at the end of the year. THE MACHO MAN posted:What exactly is is cap savings on this list It's how much the team would save for cutting that player. Note that because of the calculations above, it's entirely possible to have players that cost more against the cap if you cut them than if you just pay them to play.

Benne posted:The cap rules are utterly impenetrable to me so kudos on that Over The Cap site for even attempting to make sense of it. It's really not that bad at the core. At the core, it's salary for the year + a portion of your signing bonus. The key is that if you cut a player you're on the hook for the rest of their signing bonus immediately.

Waroduce posted:I have Comcast, and want to be able to watch any NFL game, on tv preferably. What are my options? Is gamepass my only option to accomplish this? Its my understanding that the direct tv nfl ticket is like stream/device only. Direct TV Sunday ticket can stream to a console (XBox 360/XBox One, PS3/PS4), a tablet, a phone, or a computer. The computer or tablet/phone can potentially be connected to a TV.

GeauxSteve posted:My dad has DirecTV and I was wondering if I had him order NFL Sunday Ticket if I would be able to watch all the game I want on my ipad/game consoles and stuff even though I live out of state. I believe so, but I've never had the satellite DTV, just the app and website (first with Madden and now just the internet only option). Some limitations: 1) The apps will detect your location and not show you locally televised games. This applies where you are watching, not where your subscription is. 2) Sunday Ticket is only Sunday 1pm and 4pm games. For the night game you'll have to go to NBC's stream (I think they also have a console app), and you're out of luck Monday / Thursday (although those are obviously nationally televised).

EvilHawk posted:How does this work in practice? Do they literally have "First down after kick off - run this play"? What if they're unsuccessful and the play is stopped short/intercepted? No, and for that reason. There will be variations. quote:I often did the first 25. So, I did less thinking in the early stages of the game and I'd be less nervous. I would have check points for the defense. This way, I could orchestrate the first quarter of the game. I was able to initiate my plan. On third-and-1, for example, I'd go off that list to a short-yardage list. Then I'd go back to the script. quote:McVay notes that he comes into each game with 20 “openers” or “priority plays”—calls that “knowing we’re in normal down-and-distance, operating where you’ve got your run-pass balance, [that] we know at some point we want to get it called.” For most coaches, third-down plays have a separate section on the call sheet; in fact, many are broken down into subsections depending on the circumstance. “If things go great, you’re going to just go right down that list,” McVay says. “[But] it’s not realistic.”
