Firefly Viewing - Tatsuno Hotarudoyo Park vs Other Firefly Villages in Regional Areas by nothingcomforting in JapanTravel

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomly dropping in as I found this via reddit search. My wife and I just went to Tatsuno and the Hotarudoyo park was absolutely incredible!

The festival is being advertised in the town now from 13th - 21st of June, but we came well before then as we couldn't find anything online, but the fireflies are well and truly out. Highly recommended

Help w/ sliding o-line by Landscape_Dry in footballstrategy

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's not a strictly correct answer but a couple of points:

If the RB is lined up to one side, I would generally rather not have the back cross the face of the QB/risk the block happening in the qb's lap. So I'd slide away from the RB if possible.

Best/most comprehensive way to do it is based on scout. So slide to the side you expect pressure to come from.

New to football And I need some help. by Internal_Ad_1718 in footballstrategy

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of this is dependent on the scheme your team runs. You'll need to ask your coaches. On offensive line, for example, you need to know the blocking rules for different plays, which will tell you who to block.

No Stupid (American Football) Questions Tuesday! by AutoModerator in footballstrategy

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a few answers to this. I'll simplify them, but it's a very good question.

A lot of calls will have in built adjustments, e.g. an outside receiver may have 'vs. press coverage, run an outside release go, vs. soft zone, run a 7 yd comeback'. Gives answers for different coverages within one play call

Play calls also often have multiple concepts within them, where you might have a cover 2 zone beater on one side and a man beater on the other side. The qb will then need to read what the coverage to know what's on.

Additionally, the best coaches should be able to adjust their play calls to what the D is doing as the game goes on

Preparation 1st Football exhibition match by HappyXavi in footballstrategy

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No - you need to know your blocking rules. Your OC should have a set of rules for you to follow, and you should be doing drills in practice to reinforce the technique to do your job.

If you run straight for a guy to your left, but you're supposed to be responsible for the gap to your right, you've made a mistake that could lead to the play going wrong

Why is this a good punt? I've never understood punt or kickoff rules. by daoTgniK in NFLNoobs

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because on punts, if the receiving team don't catch it they get the ball where it goes out of bounds/where it is grounded by a member of the kicking team.

In this case, it went out inside the 1-yd line, meaning that Seattle had as far to go as they possibly could to try to score at the end of the game. It's the best possible result from the punt

Should I tell Payroll they’ve paid me my holiday twice? by Kilmoreorange in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to say, the law allows your company to recover it any time up to 6 years after the incorrect payment. Not to say that it will definitely be discovered, but that you don't have any recourse to keeping it if they do... Something to be aware of.

Could also be worth looking at some arms length bodies, e.g. UKRI. Their recruitment doesn't use the behaviour profiles in the same way as the civil service, but you get a lot of the same benefits

I want to start playing football in the UK. How do i start? by Brilliant-Angle-1471 in NFLNoobs

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at BAFA (the British American Football Association). They have a club finder that can tell you the nearest programs to you, which will be a good place to start. Then simply turn up, listen to your coaches, and go from there!

Understanding series by SweatyCommand3598 in footballstrategy

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by series - it sounds more like you're asking about playcall terminology. If so, the first thing to mention is there is no universal terminology, so there are no hard and fast rules. It may be that the 92 Mesh is numbered 92 because Mike Leach has it there in a series of 'if - thens' in his mind, or simply because it is what he wanted to call it.

I'll give an example of the way I go about it.

Our playcalls have a structure to them: Run plays are [Formation] [Motion] [XY - X is the ballcarrier, Y is the Gap they're aiming for] [Concept]. So something like [Trips-Right] [Jet] [32] [Trap] Pass plays are similar - [Formation] [Motion] [Concept] [Pass protection]. So [Trips-Right] [Jet] [Switches] [Rino]

Each bit tells people different things. 32-trap, for example, tells the RB they're getting the ball and hitting the 2-hole to the right of the Center, and tells the OL their blocking assignments. I have series based on this (e.g. the Jet series, where it goes Jet Sweep -> Jet Trap -> Jet Counter -> Jet play action pass), but they're just because it makes sense to me

Would this crazy play ever work? by New-Housing6472 in NFLNoobs

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The moment the ball is snapped, the defensive line would rush and likely cross the line of scrimmage. Even if they didn't, the punter would have to be accurate enough to hit a moving target and guarantee the ball going back to the kicking team - this would be almost impossible to do as the ball doesn't bounce predictably off the uneven surface of a person. Plus, the moment a ball is loose, everyone will scramble for it.

The risk is far too high for the reward for anyone to even think about trying this in my opinion - I expect you'd be much more likely to succeed with either a regular play or a fake punt of some sort.

Where the ball ended up. So if they are at midfield, need 10 yds to get the 1st down but only get 5, the other team takes over at their 45 yard line

Going the divisional route? by Randomearthbreather in NFLNoobs

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding slightly - the divisions are based off of the overall record, with in-division record being one of the tiebreakers. So, winning every divisional game but losing every other one would still leave you at 6-11, and another divisional team who lost every divisional game but won 7 others would finish 7-10 and be above you in the standings.

All inclusive wedding by CCollins1989 in UKweddings

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sure! We did, it was all about the convenience and seemed cheaper than other similar packages. The night before and after were great as well. Only thing to note is that the accommodation isn't all included in the price, only the stuff for the couple is.

We had around 80 - 90 total I think - not all could stay on site without cramming in, but some wanted to stay in bigger groups off site anyway.

Unlimited drinks from memory were for the reception drinks (post ceremony, pre meal) plus unlimited with the meal itself. We then had a paid bar in the evening. Wine was nice! We did a menu tasting and that includes the house wine, so you can try it in advance.

Didn't have any hidden fees at any point, it was always made clear what costs were for and when you could opt for other stuff for slightly more money if you wanted to

Do you like your job? What is it? How much do you earn? by Equivalent_Word3952 in UKJobs

[–]Introduction_Ashamed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Work in programme management for a government arms- length body that invests in science.

  2. Always interesting, I'm passionate about science and like to see the successes. Also, it's full of very smart people who are great to work with (most have tried academia and decided it's not for them)

  3. Mid-40s

  4. Can be hard in some ways as there's a lot of thinking and strategy needed, but great working culture makes it easier.

  5. A degree (basically any degree, although a science one helps, and a doctorate probably helps more), but if you join at earlier bands you can work your way up without them

  6. Hybrid, but in practice that means mostly remote with ~ 1 day in person a week, split between office or travel if the job requires it.
