Kalli posted:Dodgeball could be really good. Back in the day there was a weird impromptu kicker competition with Vinatieri and... David Akers I think that was pretty great, so maybe the tic-tac-toe thing is okay. Not a chance in hell. I had a friend who played Safety for a minor league team. What made him quit and switch to LaCrosse was when the other team had a RB who was on ARI practice squad run a sweep and it ended up being him vs my buddy for a tackle or TD. He says all he remembers about the tackle is waking up and his facemask was broken in 2.

DVOA/Quick Reads are out. Pats are ranked #1 in weighted DVOA with the Eagles at #2. But that #2 is because Philly had the best single game in the last 2 years  . Not only that, it ranks as the 14th best game in DVOA history.https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2018/conference-championship-quick-readsdvoa-ratings quote:No, the reason the Eagles are now No. 2 in weighted DVOA is that they had the best game of the last two years against Minnesota. Their single-game DVOA of 130.3% was the highest of any game since Carolina walloped Arizona in the NFC Championship Game two years ago. Here are the strongest single games in DVOA history, with playoff games in italics. Two games, the Eagles and the 1986 Giants over San Francisco, are new since we ran this table two years ago. quote:Nick Foles On second-and-10 at his own 47 with 1:25 to go in the first half, Foles threw an incomplete pass to Mack Hollins. That is notable, because it was his last incomplete pass of the day. drat. axeil fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Jan 22, 2018 |

Also noteworthy, Nick Foles's contract auto-voids if he's on the Eagles after mid-Feb 2019 but if he's traded the whole 5-year deal stays intact. I wonder where he's getting traded this offseason.

Mid-20s me would do it without hesitation, just for the gently caress of it. Mid-20s me also didn't know about his aortic aneurysm that could kill him in 30 seconds if it ruptured, though, so maybe it's good nobody ever offered.

Come in as the place kicker and make Suh look like Justin Tucker Or as the punter only to bobble the snap because you didn't realize just how hard the long snapper rifles that thing and then get blown up since you're allowed to be hit as long as the ball is still in your hands

Either you're stuck behind Wentz on the depth chart for a year, or you're traded to a team that obviously has some kind of need and gives you an opportunity to move up. Plus he could always re-negotiate it if he was still behind Wentz after 2 years and wanted to stick around. It's a weird contract structure but it makes sense. Also makes him amazing trade bait as a trade keeps him on your roster till 2022.

No the contract stays not intact, those are void years only added on for cap purposes (spreading the signing bonus to the maximum allowed 5 years instead of just 2). He has basically a 2 year contract with a cap hit at the end.

If you in your current level of physical fitness were offered by an NFL team to be paid $1 million but in exchange you have to return a real kickoff, no kneeling or touchbacks or going OOB allowed, would you do it?

Easy money. Given that the opposing team will not try to hurt you but instead just punch the ball out an easy turnover.
