Got the Buffalo Pittsburgh game on now. Dunno if you've stuck with it still, but it was only around this time last year that I got into NFL and I look forward to every match now. Even watch a bit of college football on BT. to this day, I stull don't know an awful lot about the positions, tactics, jargon etc. But I still really enjoy watching it and it's quite refreshing watching a sport where I'm not too intense on it. I just enjoy each game for what it is and what I see. Red Zone is good, but I actually found it easier in the opening weeks to just watch the narrative of one full game. Just to get into how all the downs and stuff work. It's a great sport though, and it really is one of those, a bit like football where anything can happen on the day, and most games are never over til the final whistle. So many twists and turns in an individual game and there's not a lot of sports that can boast that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PortyJambo Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) 3 hours ago, Sooperstar said: Tua goes onto IR and I think that might be the end of the road for him in Miami. Not sure it does mean that. They were in a bit of a quandary as they have a 3rd QB that they like on their practice squad called Reid Sinnett, they now have to call him up to the main squad because of Tua's injury, but the NFL rules mean that if he's called up twice under the current rules then he's fair game to be claimed by any other team after that from their practice squad (he can be protected on the PS before that, which he has been). Tua was going to be out a couple of weeks at least, so putting him on IR (which is minimum only 3 weeks) means they only don't have him for the Bucs game (after Raider/Colts) as well...which they're unlikely to win anyway even if he would be fit for it. It also means they can add Sinnett as an IR replacement without cutting anyone else and because of that he still has the 2 game protected callup from PS available. Complicated, but it's basically roster management. Edited September 25 by PortyJambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lord BJ Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Well the Raiders continue to make things much more difficult than they need be. The OL in particular is poor Carr continues to put up impressive numbers. Though special thanks to Miami coaching staff for the play call which resulted in the safety and turnaround. That was a strange strange play call. That said 3-0 for first time in 19/20 years. The chiefs are bottom the league and huge trio to chargers next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got the Buffalo Pittsburgh game on now. Offense Quarterback: The leader of the team. He calls the plays in the huddle, yells the signals at the line of scrimmage, and receives the ball from the center. Then he hands off the ball to a running back, throws it to a receiver, or runs with it. Center: The player who snaps the ball to the quarterback. He handles the ball on every play. Running back: A player who runs with the football. Running backs are also referred to as tailbacks, halfbacks, and rushers. Fullback: A player who’s responsible for blocking for the running back and also for pass-blocking to protect the quarterback. Fullbacks, who are generally bigger than running backs, are short-yardage runners. Wide receiver: A player who uses his speed and quickness to elude defenders and catch the football. Teams use as many as two to four wide receivers on every play. Tight end: A player who serves as a receiver and also as a blocker. This player lines up beside the offensive tackle to the right or the left of the quarterback. Left guard and right guard: The inner two members of the offensive line, whose jobs are to block for and protect the quarterback and ball carriers. Left tackle and right tackle: The outer two members of the offensive line. Defence Defensive tackle: The inner two members of the defensive line, whose jobs are to maintain their positions in order to stop a running play or run through a gap in the offensive line to pressure the quarterback or disrupt the backfield formation. Defensive end: The outer two members of the defensive line. Generally, their jobs are to overcome offensive blocking and meet in the backfield, where they combine to tackle the quarterback or ball carrier. On running plays to the outside, they’re responsible for forcing the ball carrier either out of bounds or toward (into) the pursuit of their defensive teammates. Linebacker: These players line up behind the defensive linemen and generally are regarded as the team’s best tacklers. Depending on the formation, most teams employ either three or four linebackers on every play. Linebackers often have the dual role of defending the run and the pass. Safety: The players who line up the deepest in the secondary — the last line of defense. There are free safeties and strong safeties, and they must defend the deep pass and the run. Cornerback: The players who line up on the wide parts of the field, generally opposite the offensive receivers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, it's harder to comprehend for normal football fans due to each player only really having 1 specific task within a play and formations can change play to play. Imagine in normal football if you were able to select 11 players from the 18 man squad for every set piece, 1 corner you play 4 centre half's too add height and the opposition counter with having 5 CH's defending the corner so corner 2 you drop to 2 CH's and add 2 players that can shoot from distance and it just continues on like that with bluff and counter bluff with both sides trying to guess what the opposition are going to try next.

milky_26 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 i thought the rams made a mistake in throwing for the TD at 1st and goal with only 35 seconds left on the clock. they probably would have been better trying to run the clock down on the first 2 downs then going for the TD. Asw it gave mahomes 30 odd seconds to try and get a TD and win it for the chiefs. yes it never happened but all it would have taken is hill catching one of the throws from mahomes. also if you have not seen it yet Agnew (jaguars) scored a 109 yard TD v the cardinals, the defense parted just like the aberdeen one for st mirrens winner yesterday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
