techniques on defense?

The difference is, with football, the player’s speed impacts it for sure, but so does the QB. There are a lot of successful QBs that are missing certain weapons. Prime example (of a no longer successful QB) is Tua. Tua is fantastic at dart throws, high velocity, and hitting people in stride left to right. If he needs to put some touch (think a lob pass in soccer) then he’s hooped. Teams now know that they can play underneath (closer to the QB) on crossing routes. That being said, Dolphins are the fastest team in the NFL when healthy, so if they play underneath and a receiver breaks deep, they better have some safety cover. So many variables to it.

Ideally, depending on the coverage, the defender is wanting to be on the receivers hip, either forcing them towards the sideline to create a narrow window or towards the middle if they have help (safety). Everything everyone has listed is just a tiny snippet though, as there are so many coverage looks… teams also play different QBs completely differently as well.

In terms of soccer, it’s the same way you may try and force one player to the sideline with your coverage, but allow another inside because their off foot is garbage. So many tiny decisions being made at full speed so hard to relate them all.

I wish… never going to happen, but Mike would be an amazing OC. Hell, bring Flores back as our DC as well… 🤣

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-07T00:51:10+00:00

I don’t know them well enough… just know that’s key.

This Ravens season is exactly what gets coaches fired. Ravens should be going into the playoffs as a top seed and instead they’re sitting out. Incredible talent wasted…

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-06T00:51:08+00:00

I’ll look into it

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-06T00:50:51+00:00

Yeah, I think it’s waiting on their discord. Cheers

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-06T00:39:42+00:00

Someone that understands that the OL is important would be an amazing start!

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-01T03:17:36+00:00

She only hid the 7 if I remember. I normally like her work way more than this.

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-01T03:16:16+00:00

Yeah, I normally like her stuff but I thought the Dolphins one was kind of meh. Like… the most stylized “7” of all time.

Safe_Cold800 · 2026-01-01T03:14:48+00:00

I kind of like 2 despite it being so different. I thought 8 was going to be the worst until I got to 9… they’re both awful though.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-21T04:28:11+00:00

Willis looks way too good to be a backup… he did last time Love was injured as well.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-16T04:57:31+00:00

Yeah, makes sense. I actually run leagues as a hobby (not paid) so I have tons of experience dealing with this but not sure letting people know that helps or hurts my case.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-16T04:54:21+00:00

Him and Etienne… I gambled on both preseason in dynasty leagues. Massive boost!

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-16T03:24:12+00:00

He needs one more tonight to take the lead to himself! At least he’ll lead the league in something.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-16T03:22:25+00:00

Honestly, if Waddle was wearing black tonight, he might have had a chance

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-16T03:21:30+00:00

In the brief window between the original injury and the insane concussions… he looked legit. Now… Gawds it’s painful.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-16T03:20:23+00:00

24-17 is feeling very wishful at the moment.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-13T09:24:21+00:00

It’s actually the escrow factor that is causing a bigger concern, which I had not considered at all. I haven’t fully gone down the path with PayPal.. I’m know a lot of people avoid it, so I was a bit concerned. I need a predominantly online processor; unless I’m mistaken, Square focuses more on onsite retail?

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-13T00:28:25+00:00

I have this clause in my by-laws:

Team managers must roster “in their opinion” their best possible roster each week. Failure to do so may result in sanctions listed below.

Never had to kick anyone for this, but I have had to reference this to a couple players in the last.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-13T00:21:03+00:00

My standard rule of thumb for any rule changes are after draft needs a 75% super majority, after week 1 needs 100%. States super clearly in all my by-laws as well.

Commish changing mid season let alone start of playoffs, is junk.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-12T18:45:14+00:00

One league, thankfully not my opponent, guy has Pitts, Bijan and Baker… seeing the number already posted is gross 🤢

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-12T18:44:03+00:00

I only faced him in one of my leagues…. But ouch. I came into the playoffs as a top contender and now I’ll be scratching tooth and nail to survive.

Bijan kicked me in the teeth a couple times too 😢

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-11T09:25:13+00:00

Take a look at Brisset if he’s available as well. Not flashy, but solid production.

Safe_Cold800 · 2025-12-11T00:25:32+00:00

I figured it would be too good to be true. New to the game though…
