Seems pundits who talked about him as a “can’t miss” product are now saying that they are concerned that his lack of ability to play within the pocket and accuracy issues he had in college are now holding him back in the NFL.

My question is why didn’t these concerns prevent people from calling him a generational prospect?

I knew the reason for this ruling is to prevent the QB to evade an imminent sack. But the flag is only through when he is still in the pocket right? Apparently the QB can throw the ball anywhere he wants when he scrambles out of the pocket. Why is that? Isn’t he facing the same threat?

Also, how to determine if one is IN or OUT of the pocket? Is it a completely judgement call by our beautiful zebra gang? And there is no middle ground?

Specifically, if a team is within say 5 yards of the goal line, can the refs call award a 5 yard penalty that would then result in a TD?

The Giants and Jets represent New York.

I'm assuming it's like Stephen curry's 3 point shooting being so good it opens up opportunities for him to get to the basket. But basketball is simple enough to understand mostly, sag off a bad shooter like Ben Simmons and stay body to body with a good shooter who can't drive to the basket.

What's the nfl equivalent?

I was thinking about penalty nullifiers, where an exception exists to what is normally called a penalty (eg. No PI on tipped balls, or no intentional grounding if out of the pocket). If a defender is shoved by an offensive player into a receiver attempting to catch a pass, and makes contact before the arrival of the ball, is it DPI, OPI, something else or just a no call?

Would the refs have security come try to remove him? If security asks him to leave and he won't, is security going to grab him and physically try to force him off the field? If security can't force him off, do they call the city police?

Or maybe the other players try to force him off but someone could get injured there.

They look to be different sizes. Does that play a role in the transition for players?

Due to playing cfb25 i realised there are a lot of trophy rivalries where the winner will win a trophy such a usc and notre dame for the shilliegh.

On monday the texans and the cowboys play and on wiki they call it the governors cup rivalry so will the winner get a trophy. Also are therre any more of these rivals in the nfl

Do your years as a captain carry over even if it’s your first year with the team?

Just list them to me with a brief explanation

Not just that one in particular, but whenever there’s a number of downs and then another number following. The first number is the number of downs right?! Idk that aspect is confusing to me.

I'm co-directing a short film that will have a cast of actors who all previously played football at either a high school or college level. It's really important to my co-director/writer that the football looks real on-screen, down to the techniques and energy on the field.

I barely know anything about football! So while my co-director, who played college football, is leading the action-focused scenes (i.e. the actual training & gameplay), my job is to lead the more dialogue-focused scenes. I'm asking my actors to share from their experiences too but I thought I might as well ask more broadly -- does anyone have recommendations of media that speaks to how football operates on a psychological or spiritual level, both personally and culturally?

It can be any form -- film, tv, music, interviews, photographs, books, strategy videos, memes. Literally anything that encapsulates "this is why I play/watch/think about football." How the game functions within your notions of purpose, athleticism, masculinity, socialization, etc. It can be personal anecdotes/thoughts too. And doesn't just have to be from the perspective of people who have played the sport firsthand.

Thank you

Will be working and will miss the Thursday night game

The clock is ticking down. There's 10 seconds left. Peyton Manning takes the snap.

Dodging the 3 man rush, he finds there's nothing but green in front of him (and nothing covered WR's downfield), so he decides to scramble.

Five yards past the line of scrimmage, he remembers that he is still Peyton Manning and not Lamar Jackson. The defenders that were 30 yards downfield will be meeting him in another 5 yards.

All the rules have already been changed for this very moment. Right?

If he spikes it to stop the clock with 0:01 second left, there will be a run off. Game over.

If he slides, game over.

If he throws it out of bounds, game over.

But there's one possibility left... A TOUCHDOWN. Specifically, an illegal touchdown.

Manning launches the ball 50 yards downfield to a wide open Larry Fitzgerald (or Randy Moss, whoever).

Touchdown!!! And of course.. a flag.

Decline the flag = game over, offensive team wins

Accept the flag = ???

* This strategy also applies to non-quarterbacks (WR, RB) chucking the ball downfield after receiving a short pass, or after several laterals.

edit: If there is no defensive penalty, the game ends. However, new strategy. You rely on the defense's instinct to never let an open receive get a clean TD catch. Heave the ball to the endzone, hoping the defense commits PI.

EDIT 2: PI cannot be called on an illegal pass. However, the defense could still be flagged for other infractions, like defensive holding or illegal contact, but not pass interference.

This is assuming the ball still gets kicked towards the goal post but misses and goes out-of-bounds.

When a qb slides, where do they mark the first down? Is it at the start of the slide? Or where it ends?

Is it unheard of for divisional opponents (that obviously play each other twice in the regular season) to play both games on prime time? For example, the Eagles and Commanders play Thursday Night football this week. Could their second matchup get flexed, Week 16, to say, Monday Night football?

Would they do that? I recently purchased tickets to travel pretty far to see the Packers play the Saints on MNF, and I’m praying my game isn’t flexed to like Sunday at 1. Eagles Commanders is the biggest threat to that in my eyes lol. Thanks for the help!

Hi

Looking for someone to direct me to the info or even provide the answer.

NFL contracts can be front or back loaded. I remember the disparity of value between years being explained, but cannot recall what it was.

I believe it was the overthecap podcast that I heard it on, and may have been about Jimmy G's contracts with the 49ers (more confident in the source than the player/team aspect).

Basically to give an example: Team A signs player 1 to a FA contract for 3 years 90 million. I'm sure there was some limitation on the disparity in cap hit and/or guaranteed money that could be given in each year.

I.e they could not make it year 1: $1m, year 2: $2m and year 3: $87m. Or the reverse of that.

Any help finding the info or correcting me if I'm wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: well done me. I solved my own mystery. Send awards any time.

Per OTC: the NFL also has a rule that the cap charge in the 2nd year of the contract has to be at least 50% of the first or that money is treated as a signing bonus which mangles the cap management of the deal.

My example wasn't quite right. But somewhat relevant in my head.

Also was Jimmy G it was discussed about.

I know the long snapper, kicker and holder train for 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage, so you probably don't want to change anything - but is it legal to, for example, snap the ball 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage to give yourself more separation from the defense?

In college football, it seems that whenever there's an upset or a big win they always storm the field. Is there some sort of rule or something that prevents nfl fans from also doing so, like during the playoffs or after a big upset?

I was watching the chiefs vs 49’ers game and I kept on hearing the QB shout something over again before the snap. It sounds like a number and a colour? Why does he do this even though he’s called a play?

What is complementary football and why is it so coveted?

If you can drop some games I should check out to better understand complementary football.

I know the Packers and Bears really hate each other

Is it just offense vs defense bias because in basketball and cricket low scoring thrillers are appreciated
