OK gang... Here is what I have for a roster so far... I will add to this as people join and put a formal roster in a sticky with all the stats for each individual once the team is complete. I have received the required info from the following: Big E SICK FIN-OMENAL BLADE SAMPHIN I am hoping that we can get at least 9 more to commit. However, PLEASE submit your info even if you can't commit right now! This way I will have for any future games that we may do! It would be great to have enough for an offense team and a defense team to start with. This way we can focus on plays for both sides. It will also give us the ability to have a rotation in case some one gets tired or injured. I will be posting the rules for the game in a sticky later this weekend so that everyone that played in the past can get familiar with them again and the new members can learn them. Also, FIN-O, you need to take a copy of the rules to the guys that will be playing with us so that they understand them as well... I will also be posting the Liability Waiver Form as a sticky as well. If you plan to play in the game, you will need to read it and fill out the form and send it to me via e-mail. You will then have to sign it, IN PERSON, and provide the identified item before you can play in the game. This is to protect this site, THEPHINS.COM and the stakeholders associated with the site, from any liability of possible injury or death incurred during the travel and play in any game that we play while representing this site. I am really getting excited about doing this again guys... It was such a GREAT TIME the past 2 times that we got together and did it! Let's make this the best trip of them all!!!
Sorry that I haven't gotten the rules and stuff up yet. My computer has been on the fritz the past week and finally revived it's arse... Maybe I should consider buying a new one... It is 7 years old...
I think me and you should talk about the "rules" because considering its their field Im not sure how comfortable I feel taking them a set of rules... Im sure its not miles apart but we may have to compromise with eachother.
The rules are very basic. 3 linemen 1 of line can be used as TE. 2 wr's, 1 rb, and 1 QB. Must have 5 men @ the line of scrimage. Every player must wear a jersey or shirt @ all times. Each TD is a point and game to 10 points.
I have got to get into some kinda shape before this....I'm heavier than I was last time. My legs in better shape but still.
The way they play is with no OL, but im sure I can get them to change that as long as we are able to field atleast 4 WR's.... Just trying to compromise, also they have a middle marker for a first down wich is basically 50 yards.
Well I am sorry but those are the rules and thats the way it should be. Besides having them put out 4 WR's with an actual good QB would be a serious disadvntage to our team as we are not full of cover corners and speed. We are traveling from around the country so playing a line should not be that difficult. Besides if they really want 3 WR's they can have 1 TE go out and 1 RB go out on passing routes.
The OL/DL isnt an issue but I think the WR thing is the only snag....we play one rusher with 5 wide every week, I cant ask them to go all the way down to 2...plus the more players on the field the better, because we will need their RB to be contained, if he only has 2 guys on the outside he's gone. This style would help us trust me.
I totally disagree. If They go 4 wide that will kill us. I respect ur Opinion but I think I know this team bethere.
Honestly we may get beat soundly either way it goes because if this guy gets one on one, its not likely he is being tackled...they are more athletic we need more bodies imo. Plus they I cant just present them with a set of rules when honestly they play every saturday regardless so the ball is in their court. But like I said I can compromise but I cant just say "this is how it is"
Oh, cool, I just assumed it would be in Florida. That's an 8 hour drive for me though, probably a bit too far.
I seriously doubt these guys will be better or faster than the guys we played in Florida. We got beat cause they had one small fast guy and we got tired. It does not help that we have never had a QB. I will say this tho and that if we play with a Line we will be just fine. What we lack in Athletic ability we make up for in Skills and knowledge of the game. These guys playing with a line may hurt them but its not like we are a pro football team here. I think what we are offering is a fair deal. Yes its there field but we are traveling from all over for this game. Its not like we are coming from a town over demanding they play by these rules. Ask them what they think and if they are fine with the rules great and if not I suggest we look into other ideas
Hmm. Now that this may be a legitimate possibility, where can I get some more info? Like, are you guys looking for players still, and at what positions, and when is the game?
The Lines wont be a problem, like I said only having two WR's will likely be something I would assume MOST of us could live with. It gets more players in the game for one, and not sure why you assume wich team is better...you never know, just because their from FL is irrelevant. We have atleast three guys who can play CB so whats the big deal? And if the line is the strength then we will just press the WR's and let E n folks go get'm. If the majority want to pass up on a for sure game over 2 Wr's then hey the majority speaks, I'll go wherever we can get a game. By the way who normally QB's?
We dont have a QB. We usually switch it up all the time. . Who are the guys that u think can play corner? We will need to rest because we dont need our WR's playing CB all the time too. I just think they are simple rules and should not be a big deal.
Im not in the best shape and I play iron man every week...im sure we can make due. It will be a fun experience wich is what I thought the goal was anyway. Sure noone likes to lose but from the way you make it sound we would need a small miracle.
Saying I don't like to lose is a ****ing understatment. I wanna win football games so bad it hurts. I put my body thru too much when it comes to football and I don't see any changes coming.
Im starting to think we need to consider running the WC. Gish can you get a gameplan together for a bunch of overweight slow guys to score on and defend an athletically superior team?
FiTM, what info do I need to provide? I'm not set in stone on going, but I'd like to give you the info in case I do.
You guys are putting way too much thought into this. It is pickup football. If they want to go three or four wide...why not? I mean, I love to play linebacker or D-line, but I can drop and play coverage if need be for defense. I simply just want to play a little bit of football, have some fun, and hang out with the crew. Whatever the rules are doesn't really matter to me. Lets just line up, hike the football and let her rip.
Well we have to get a team together first... I still haven't seen many apps come in... Nothing since my last posting!
At the end of the poll... Cincy is what we started with so unless there is an overwhelming vote for another game, Cincy will be the place...
