I have some questions about communication. How many plays, audibles, and coaching signals are players supposed to know? Does it depend on the position? What exactly does the QB say just before the play: just some code words, or the full plan? How often do codes and audibles change? How often does a playbook change and the plays a player is supposed to know? If they do, is it to adapt to the opponent, or is to prevent "espionage"? How much is said over the radio head sets? Who has a receiver in his helmet? Is it possible to eavesdrop on those?

Who is Megatron? He seems to be a wide receiver in an NFC North team.

What are these tiers (1, 2 and 3) of revenue that people in the NCAA Conference Apocalypse thread keep talking about? Particularly related to TV networks.

How does free agency work? Let's take Matt Flynn. If Cleveland would pay X million more, but Flynn wants to go to Seattle because he likes the weather/team/coach/whatever more. Can he choose? Does it differ from "potential elite QB" to a fullback, who takes any contract he can get?

College has an 85 man scholarship limit, NFL has a 53-man roster plus a salary cap. What are the limitations on the amount and pay of the coaches?

How much money can an UDFA make before he signs his first big contract? I mean, he plays lights out in the NFL, pro bowl selection, etc, but simply had bad luck in a lovely college program that made him go unnoticed by the scouts. And how does that compare to the money a complete bust for a top 3 pick gets? So he doesn't reach any of the incentive clauses.

4th quarter, ~30 seconds left on the game clock, opponent just scored and is ahead, but within a single score. Why do so many guys run the kick out, and don't settle for the touch back, especially if they are not named Hester? Surely 3-4 seconds is more valuable in this situation than the small chance you pick up a couple of yards?

What are the differences in requirements to be a good kick returner versus a punt returner? If there are none, why are there two positions for that in pro bowl?

What exactly is the difference between "helping the runner," which is a foul, and "driving the pile?" For example, in yesterday's game CIN @ CHI, at about 4:30 left in the 3rd quarter, some of the Chicago o-line just blatantly have their back towards the pile and are just pushing and pushing backwards. Is that allowed?

Hirams Bitch posted:So the Stafford fake clock TD that was so beautiful - I know they need to review every scoring play, but if they determined he didn't get in, what would have happened? He never got tackled either, and ran into the end zone without ever being down. Anyone know what the call could have been? In the soubd fx he said there would be a 10 sec runoff and one last down. Don't if the clock starts at whistle or snap though.

Are there limits (except the owner's greed) on the amount of coaches an NFL team have, or their salary? Or to the amount of people involved in the franchise can be at the side line during a game?

Real smart quarterbacks can run a no-huddle offense, with minimal input from an OC during a drive. The QB can change run plays in the pass plays and vice versa, they can change the blocking scheme (in combination with the center), etc. Why can't defenses do the same with a smart linebacker? Or does that happen already?

How serious do teams drafting in position 20-32 an analysis of players like Clowney and other top 10 prospects? I can imagine teams like the Texans and Rams do a very thorough analysis of the top prospects and search for any red flags. But let's say if Clowney falls to 21 (he won't), are the Packers then "what the hell did all those other teams find out? We don't actually know anything about this guy except his tape and combine numbers, do we take the risk?", or did they spend enough time on each prospect to make a decent decision?

Are there limits on the amount teams can spend on coaches, trainers, consultants, etc, both in $ and the amount of personnel they can hire? What about NFL and NCAA?

Tell me more about scouts. How in demand are good scouts, i.e. the foot soldiers of the front office? Are they gone the second another clubs offers a few more pennies? Does quality automatically means an eventual promotion? Is it a job that requires actual skill or training, or do some people "just have it?" Is their role diminished in "moneyball-like" front offices?

Windmill Hut posted:What is the rationale behind Divisions > Overall Standings in each conference, for the playoffs? The Texans currently being seeded higher than the Raiders despite having won 3 less games just seems so odd. What rights do you have in the playoffs if you don't even win your own division?

When talking about pass rushing DE's and OLB's, why is their designation EDGE written in all-caps? Is it an acronym of something, or simply that all the other positions are written in caps as well (due to being acronyms)?
