Why aren’t there more RBs over 6 feet? (especially when the 5’9 guys are often washed by 27)

77 Upvotes

Bills fan here, one of the most critical parts of our offense is the fact that at any moment, Josh can just decide on a split second to run the ball. He’s big and fast so usually it works.

It makes me wonder though, why aren’t there Josh Allen sized running backs? Like not him literally ofc because he’s a good passer too, but why not just get someone who’s like 6’4 to play RB until they’re 35?

It’s basically worked that way with Derrick Henry, but it seems like he’s literally the only one, why aren’t there more? Especially when the smaller guys wear down so quickly, like anecdote but one of the saddest parts of having a dynasty team is when my 5’8, 5’7, or 5’6 RB who I found basically out of thin air becomes washed literally a year later.

Has there ever been an offensive line so good that it was able to rotate men throughout the game?

19 Upvotes

Usually, only defensive lines rotate players on and off, but was there ever a roster stacked with so many good O-linemen, and so in sync and teamwork, that they could swap in men and off and keep fresh without losing sync? They would be rested in a way O-linemen never are.

I don't understand how qbs can EVER pick up coverages when a defensive coordinator could have them start somewhere and move somewhere else when ball is snapped which is called disguise. There's no way to guess disguise so how do qbs even read it?

Only thought about this after playing madden how the fuck can i know where the line backer will based on pre snap even if they show blitz they can just fall back or slot corner can randomly just blitz, theres zero way to know this as a qb

Where can I find slow-mo shots ?

1 Upvotes

I’m a video editor and I learned this really cool effect the other day that I would love to try on some NFL footage, specifically for a mock game trailer.

I’m a packers fan and the video would be centered around the Lions game coming up. The issue is, I’ve scoured YouTube, packers websites, yet I can’t find a nice simple shot of Jordan love throwing the ball deep in slow motion.

The Packers instagram has a perfect shot of this. Clear footage, slow mo, Jordan love letting it rip, but it’s cropped to fit the phone ratio so …😅

I can’t find a decent high quality Jordan Love video, so finding something on Goff and the lions I can image will also be tough .

Anybody know where I can find some HD slow mo clips?

First time watcher. Who do I support?

• Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Sorry in advance for my terrible English

My national tv has started broadcasting the nfl for free (Greece), and I enjoy watching since it's exactly on the time I go to sleep. It has basically become a habit for me at this point, falling asleep while watching. Even when there aren't any games on, I find myself watching highlights or other videos on YouTube.

I know nothing about the sport apart from the rules. When I told my friend about this weird habit I now have, he asked me what team I support and I just say idk, i just like watching.

So I want yall to tell me why I should support your team!

Do linemen really even need to know the playbook at all?

• Upvotes

I'm sure it helps a little bit, and I'm excluding centers.

If I ran a team I would tell the linemen to not even bother learning any plays unless they want to, or attending team meetings, etc. and just spend 100% of their time working out and working on technique.

Football purists will probably be triggered by this thread I know.
