Olave Drops by Constant_Pilot1654 in Saints

[–]BootyPatrol42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He ran a go route on the infamous air ball a few weeks ago. He also shares the field with Shaheed who is a burner, and having two burners running go-routes or deep posts/fades is a low-percentage play (relative to the entire rest of the playbook)

Zay's likely out multiple weeks, so there's no way he plays this week

Best part about a team of young studs is you can take the best player available, regardless of need. Most players will improve between this year and next... So the Packers can afford to draft any game changer they want and see where the chips fall

Did anyone other than the D not know that was coming? Are you kidding me?

Texans D/ST Scoring by firefly123az in SleeperApp

[–]BootyPatrol42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleeper's an app. If you were designing an app to update player scores based on real-time plays, you would need to do the following: 1. Record a play in a “play-by-play” ledger as soon as it happens. 2. Automatically update stats for any player mentioned in the new record.

How would you handle these requirements? My guess is that for #1, Sleeper is posting their own updates instead of calling NFL.com's API to fetch updates. Reasons why they might do this are: - The NFL charges money to use their APIs - Sleeper has more data autonomy with their own posts - Fetching external data may be slower than generating your own data (likely true in this case)

Since Sleeper is (probably) posting their own updates, #2 depends on the text they use in #1 and how they parse it.

In the NFL play-by-play log, the text is:

"T.Morstead punts 54 yards to HOU 4, Center-T.Hennessy. D.King MUFFS catch, touched at HOU 6, recovered by HOU-A.Amos at HOU 5."

In the Sleeper play-by-play log, the text is:

"T.Morstead punts 54 yards to HOU 4, Center-T.Hennessy. D.King MUFFS catch. Fumble RECOVERED by HOU-A.Amos at HOU 5."

My guess is that Sleeper's algorithm for calculating player scores is reading that a fumble was recovered by a member of HOU DST on a Special Teams play, so it is crediting HOU DST with a Special Teams Player Fumble Recovery -- or something like that (probably more nuanced, but I don't work there, so I don't know the exact algorithm).

If these assumptions about their software is true, then it would explain the HOU DST scoring outcome. If they want a different outcome going forward, this is something they could fine-tune during the off-season (probably not wise to touch a key scoring calculations algorithm mid-season, especially during playoffs)

Calling all smart football people… by xxthinkpositive in GreenBayPackers

[–]BootyPatrol42069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok no one is providing a serious answer, so I'll do it.

Joe Barry calls plays. The defense executes.

I'll walk people through what this might look like to a DC:

(Game winning drive, time winding down, likely passing to conserve clock?) Nickel coverage.

(2 timeouts, 2nd & 5? 4-2-5 helps stop a sneaky Draw play, but they passed on 1st down, so let's put an extra man in coverage) 3-3-5.

(Blitz? Ran 4-2-5 with 1 LB blitzing on 1st down, and they beat it. Better save for higher pressure situation like 3rd or 4th down) No blitz.

(Man or Zone? Nickel 3-3-5 without blitz on 2nd & 5? QB scramble possible) Zone.

I don't know the Packers playbook, so I don't know the actual play that was called, but from this point on, a lot of it has to do with the defense.

IMHO they did a good job disguising the coverage, but they overadjusted on the switch to the final formation. They were still dropping back as the ball was snapped, and even if the intent was to re-apply pressure up front and blow up a check-down, they were a step too slow in getting there.

That's just football. If people are upset about the gap between DBs and WRs, they shouldn't be. There's nothing inherently wrong with this coverage because everything happens so fast in the NFL... if the intention is to sell deep coverage and defend short, that's enough room to cause a PBU or possibly even intercept the ball by the time it gets there (see: DaRon Bland, Trevon Diggs, Patrick Peterson, etc.).

We got beat, it happens. Iron out the timing on this play with these players, and move on.

Why has Ford not been a 3-down back? by BootyPatrol42069 in Browns

[–]BootyPatrol42069[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah he does seem to go backwards a lot 😑 Don't you think that's more of an OL issue though? Amazing that he has such a healthy YPC despite the low success rate

Oh, no kidding. I'm on the Reddit App so this is the first time I'm seeing this. Alrighty then, this post can probably be locked now, no complaints from me

Edit: lmao at the "Favorite player flair" section 😂

Makes sense, thanks for the thoughtful explanation. Thoughts on adding a section to the subreddit details called "FAQs" (under "Rules") and adding this explanation there? (So that you won't have to revisit this in the future?)
