NFL.com's Name The Play Finalists


MeowMeowMeooow

Recommended Posts

So, just to break up all of the "Elevator-gate" uproar going on in here this morning... Here is something interesting.

 

I went over to nfl.com and noticed the "Vote for Play Names" link and was curious to see if they actually put Gano kicking with the band on there as technically it wasn't a play. Well, to my surprise, they are down to 3 plays this week... And they are all Panther Related-ish.

 

Play 1- Kicking It With The Band

Play 2- Wrap Up Son

Play 3- All About The Benjamins

 

I know Smitty is no longer a Panther BUT the Ice Up Son quote is still a part of Panthers' history as well as Smitty.

I just can't remember the last time we even has a play of the week nomination... Much less 2 of 3.

 

Here is the link if the Huddle wishes to help push the Benji TD for the win.

Before this turns into another goddam "We miss #89/flame Gman" thread I just wanna say: 

 

Man it feels good to be relevant again. 

 

I never intended this to turn into that. We all have a soft spot for him in our hearts, but he IS a Raven now and no amount of whining will change that. It should quiet down some of the "Flame GMan" talk when KB's TD wins this week. And then completely silence that crowd once Week 2 KB is in the running again and Smitty is nowhere to be seen. We are better off now... Everyone should accept that.

Every post that includes anything Smith related until after week 4 is likely to turn into that. He's the match that sparks the Huddle.

    • Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.
    • That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly. 
    • The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
