You're welcome. The indoor stadiums are easy, you put a laser in one chain and a receiver in the other across the field. The outdoor stadiums it doesn't work because of the crown of the field needed for drainage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The new kickoff is interesting. There will be more returns so that’s a good thing. Going ti be interesting to see which team cracks the code and finds a way to break one consistently. It’s preseason and almost no starters playing, but I enjoy watching the Bears continue their mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been perfectly okay with KO returns at the beginning of each half and then simply starting with the ball at the 20 or 25 following scores. Onside kick success rate has dropped anyway.

ThatJerkDave Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The kickoff is just the XFL/UFL kickoff, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a team could spend more on players if they spent less on executives. But this would require additional revenue sharing between NFL teams. I guess the fears of a no cap league are on hold for now since the Sunday Ticket verdict has been thrown out. Kind of funny that among other things, the jury decided to create their own formula to determine what the damages should be. People are so dumb.

Refugee Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Julius Peppers walks into the Hall of Fame, a well deserved honor. Even amongst giants and gifted athletes he stands out when he’s on the gridiron. He was a part of a few very good teams in Carolina but that 2015 Packers team could have gone all the way if they had avoided total catastrophe. Still one of my favorite players in recent memory. Glad he’s in Canton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he’s in Canton. It was impressive that he basically played his first season in GB in a fairly heavy pass coverage role .. guy had two picks and returned them both for long TD's, added in 7 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 3 fumble recoveries. He was a unit. After that initial season he settled into more of a pass rush role and made the pro bowl in season two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His type of athleticism in a frame like that is rare. Watching him return those picks and receives trying to stop him looking like little brothers at a family cookout game will always be hilarious. He could definitely get around a corner but even if you slowed him down, the long arm of the law would find you. Glad I got to see him play for my team but of course wanted to see him (and the Pack) get a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outdoor stadiums it doesn't work because of the crown of the field needed for drainage. The problem with a lot of technical solutions like this is that the rules of football do not care where the ball is, they care where the ball is when the ballcarrier is marked down. Since you can be down by contact when any part of your body touches the ground other than hands/feet/forearms/calves, it's not sufficient to only track "where the ball is." You're still going to be relying on officials eyeballing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Zadarius Smith was carted off the field with a leg injury. I always liked him, hope he's going to be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat&Beer Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 You gotta know the right people. Quote With Rodgers back, so is Lazard. The sixth-year wideout shows up in the starting lineup, based on the Jets’ first unofficial depth chart of 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
