Nice post @PhillyB . I think the football is strong with this one. I particularly liked the Gilgamesh references as it brought me back to being a kid when I read this:

But I don't recall seeing any cybernetic ninjas in your post so maybe they are different stories. I don't remember much about those comics but I do remember them being epic and awesome!

Ok I think im missing something is the slot guy Y or F? 

In Philly's diagram the Tight End is labeled as Y and the slot receiver is labeled as F. XYZ are the typical annotations and you can learn more about it than you ever wanted right here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_receiver

While the general fan base and most commentators use the generic term wide receiver for all such players, specific names exist for most receiver positions:

  • Split end (X or SE): A receiver on the line of scrimmage, necessary to meet the rule requiring seven such players at snap. Where applicable, this receiver is on the opposite side of the tight end. The split end is farthest from center on his side of the field.[5]
  • Flanker (Z or FL or 6 back): A receiver lining up behind the line of scrimmage. Frequently the team's featured receiver, the flanker uses the initial buffer between himself and a defender to avoid jamming, legal contact within five yards of the line of scrimmage. The flanker is generally on the same side of the formation as a tight end. As with the split end, this receiver is the farthest player from the center on his side of the field. The flanker is probably lined up just like a split end except that he is just behind the line of scrimmage, being in the backfield and not on the line.[6]
  • Slot receiver (Y or SL): A less-formal name given to receivers in addition to split ends and flankers (for example, tight ends who line up wide). These receivers line up between the split end/flanker and the linemen. If aligned with a flanker, the slot receiver is usually on the line of scrimmage, and if with a split end, off the line of scrimmage. As with the flanker position, a featured receiver often takes a slot position with a split end to avoid jamming.[6]
  • Slot back: A receiver lining up in the offensive back field. Canadian and arena football allow them to take a running start at the line. They are usually larger players as they need to make catches over the middle. In American football slot backs are typically used in flexbone or other triple option offenses while Canadian football uses them in almost all formations.

thanks for the opportunity jeremy! i'm pretty excited about this.

you all may notice some technical quirks in the article (formatting stuff, mostly) which are a result of transferring the article through different editors. this should be resolved by next week.

I was going to pie but there are just to many technical editing flaws for me to take it seriously...

 

Said no Huddler ever...

Philly, some people have the gift of words & you have it in spades. Pulling us up through the muck of KB's ACL, forcing us to see the top of that mountain that's at the end of the incline. Showing us that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. Oh, and did I mention football??!!

Great work!

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
