I believe the left side of the defensive line are both rookies. That is probably a major contributor to some of the poor numbers. Hopefully, next year it will improve. |

I agree that the defense needs some help... That will be a big priority in the offseason (especially the front 7)...
I also agree with the open it up a little more when we are down by 14 to 27... Though I would not want us to exclusively pass in those situations... Also when it comes to running backs don't forget we can put backs in certain packages (formations) in order to get them playing time... Though that is not ideal since we are concerned with getting our backups more touches and don't really want to take away Ox's touches at all... I have already done some scouting of some FA's for Special Teams and have found a few guys that we could use in a pinch if we needed too... But it looks like most of our returners are fairing pretty well despite their lowly ratings for that talent... I have yet to analyze them for fumbles and such so I guess the jury is still out... I just got the game and really like the idea of having a "special teams rating" but I want to make sure I know how it is used so I can help you guys out more... If anyone has a clear explanation of who has these ratings and how we ensure they are playing on special teams I would love to hear it... |

I don't want to rush things, but if we are interested in moving forward. I can sim the games from work. I don't think Wade has access to the game during working hours. Should I go ahead and sim another block of games or do we want to wait a bit.
I don't mind waiting, but I know several people were interested in keeping things moving and since I have the ability to sim the games here I just thought I would offer.

I don't mind you simming at all, but if so, I wanted to make some changes ... that's the only prob..
But I could have you make them if you want.. 1) Swap Baker and Crawford in the RB Rotation 2) In normal situations, match the pass distance %'s to the behind by 10-27 numbers, and then in the behind by 10-27 increase the deeper passes slightly.. 3) ON each situation, remove a few percentage points from running to the inside to running to the outside.

Again just to be clear. I am not saying they have to be simmed today. I am just saying if thats what everyone wants I am able to.

I would honestly love to see things moving... If comments and discussion are going on, I don't want to sim..
With that being said, there doesn't seem to be much discussion now.. we had discussions about how to tweak the offense, and the defense it's pretty much.. "umm.. we need new players" ... so, obviously we just have to wait that out.. My basic philosophy on this is that once discussion "seems" over we can move on... and if anyone thinks we are moving too fast, they should speak up.. So I say give it some time (hour or so?) and if no one speaks up, go for it..

I'm game for rolling onward... let's do four more games. I'd like to see us make the switch at RB2/RB3, but past that... I'm ready to roll.

Wow the defense gave up over 500 yards to Pensacola and we still found a way to win. It looks like letting The Ox run to the outside a little more has paid off.

And with that we have ruined our draft pick for next season.
It appears The Ox took all the trade speculation personally as he averaged 170 yards per game over the last 4 games!!!

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
2 Pritchett 23 17 302 13.1 51 2 0 2 Wow and Rushing Att Yards Avg Long TD 49 Oksenberg 32 261 8.1 80 0 Wow.. Was the latter a league record? I'm not happy with Pritchett being out, but Coleman was very respectable in his absense. One thing I noticed.. with opening up the passing (notice the relatively substantial increase in ypa) our Time of Possession seems to have made a jump.. It still seems like maybe we are running to the inside a bit much, but I think I have the inside running bumped up when we get ahead, which these games we jumped out to leads on, so that may be the reason..

Hah, apparently. I'm quite impressed... did you merely figure in rushing yards? Because he averaged 46.5 receving with 3 TDs in the air.. Edit: What are Ox's totals for rushing? Is he back on top? Last edited by wade moore : 02-18-2003 at 01:37 PM. |

The Ox is now second onthe single game rushing record list. He was just shy of the 275 yard record day held by Calvin Crawford.

wow- Ox put up some great #s both rushing and recieving in those last 4 games. Also our # 1 pick McAllister put up 200 yards in those games and is now at around 550 so far this season, which is good for a rookie WR. Also, I noticed our 2nd round pick Blow is getting a few sacks which is good, I was worried he might bust, but it appears he will turn out fine. All I can say is right now I am very happy with our skill positions on offense, 2 good WRs who will be here for a while, and 3 great RBs who are all under contract for atleast 3 more years. Our O-line seems to be playing very well if we are able to run the ball this good, and our QB seems to be doing pretty good also- the one thing that I think would really help us some more on offense is a good TE. For the D- its harder to judge the D without having the game but they seem to be playing better as of late, and maybe with a few roster tweaks we will be in playoff conention next year. Also, we still have a shot to make the playoffs this year if we manage to win out, but I also would not be mad if we lose out and go 6-10 which is very good for our first year.

Wow OX has thrown down the gauntlet...
Crawford looks to have done pretty well in the #2 slot also... How do his stats compare with the #3 now??? YPC wise I mean... I wonder if our changes to the gameplan made the difference or if it was just Ox blowing up??? |

The defense has been playing a little better as of late, but our biggest problem is still gettung pressure on the QB.
Gabe Blow has been much better of late. He has 4.5 sacks and 6 hurries in his last 6 games. However Davison has cooled off with 0 sacks in that same span. Hopefully with a year of development from both of them they will be ready to rock next season. On a side note can we trade for Bermuda's DE Ron newton?

At least, on the bright side we don't have to defend the Ox. |

I'm really not all that touched up about the nuances of playing time and playcalling... I really don't enjoy following that side of the game all that much, anyway. The "true GM" role is just fine by me here... I'll help in buying the groceries, and then step back and basically let you guys cook the meal.

Hey I am not involved in this. (But I am interested ) I noticed that redzone offense appears to be pretty bad. Just a little thing I noticed. It may have been just one game, but could you guys post the team ranks in redzone Offense?
Another thing I am interested is the offense you have? It seems to me that is a smash mouth style. Could someone post the Offensive gameplan in normal situations? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks. |

It looks like the shot that I thought The Ox had at the career rushing record (1,981 in 1977 by Fernando Nabarrete) is gone now with the injury. He has a total of 1,656 yards going ingo the final game. He is, however, assured the rushing title for this season, already a good 250 yards ahead of the next highest rusher.
On another note, if we win, we're in. We hold our own destiny and if we win this game, we're in the playoffs. If we lose, we're likely not in.

We're playoff bound! We go up against 9-7 Nashua, the division winners in the East. On an interesting note, even with a loss we would have been in the playoffs with a 9-7 record, seeing as the next best team not in the playoffs right now is 8-8. We seem to have benefited from a week division, where the top two teams went 5-1 in the division and the bottom two went 1-5, also amassing 7-9 and 5-11 records.
For those keeping track, The Ox had the 3rd best rushing total ever, behind 1,981 and 1,856 performances both put in by Fernando Navarrete in 1977 and 1980 respectively.

Ok.. Now I figure we can discuss things through the morning and Prime could run the playoff game(s) this afternoon. Here are some offensive stats that may interest some.
Rushing: RB Oksenberg - 248 carries, 1776 yards, 5.1 ypc, 10 TD RB Crawford - 89 carries, 451 yards, 5.0 ypc, 5 TD RB Baker - 60 carries, 287 yards, 4.7 ypc, 2 TD Team - 557 Rushes (1st), 2,704 Yards (1st by 500 yards), 169.0 YPG (1st by 31 yards), 4.8 ypc (1st by .3) 1st Half-Season Left: 66 Carries, 359 Yards, 5.4 ypc 2nd Half-Season Left: 71 Carries, 453 Yards, 6.4 ypc Season Left: 137 Carries, 812 Yards, 5.9 ypc 1st Half-Season Middle: 195 Carries, 593 Yards, 3.0 ypc 2nd Half-Season Middle: 132 Carries, 703 Yards, 5.3 ypc Season Middle: 327 Carries, 1296 Yards, 4.0 ypc 1st Half-Season Right: 65 Carries, 266 Yards, 4.0 ypc 2nd Half-Season Right: 82 Carries, 411 Yards, 5.0 ypc Season Right: 147 Carries, 677 Yards, 4.6 YPC We really do have 3 legitimate backs. Of course, My inclinitation is to ride The Ox into the sunset of his career and keep one of the other guys, while maybe using the 3rd guy as trade bait. I know it is early for this talk, just throwing it out there. Red Zone Offense: 58 Trips, 39 TD, 11 FG, 5.2 points per trip (Tied for 5th in the league) K Bridges - 22 FG, 31 FGA -- perhaps a factor in not having a few more points here Passing Offense Stats: QB Roger Pritchett - 203 for 349, 58.1 Pct, 2458 yards, 7.04 Avg, 21 TD, 6 Int, 23 Sacks, 92.7 Rating (4th) QB Reuben Coleman - 74 for 114, 64.9 Pct, 893 Yards, 7.83 Avg, 8 TD, 4 Int, 97.5 Rating (Not enough Att to qualify, would have been 3rd) RB Brent Oksenberg - 54 Catches, 553 yards, 10.2 Avg, 5 TD, 3 Drops WR Kenny McAlister - 51 Catches, 753 yards, 14.7 Avg, 1 TD, 7 Drops WR Wayne Hill - 42 Catches, 701 yards, 16.6 Avg, 6 TD, 7 Drops

I think we are in pretty decent shape on offense. A legitimate TE and solid FB would be nice additions in the offseason.
The RB situation is nice. I'd be inclined to keep all 3 and see if one of the two backups really improves significantly in the first year or two. At that point we can re-evaluate. I think we have a shot to go far into the playoffs. Our running game is much better after the changes Wade instituted and the defense seems to be tightening up. |

Keeping all 3 RBs would be great in my book if we could do it. As long as the GM does not think that is too much money tied into the backfield, you'll hear no complaints from me.
I'm happy with the way the defense has shored up, particuraly the run defense. I think it could still use more pressure on the QB, but that even has seemed to improve. Davison got 4.5 sacks in the last 4 games, giving him a 10.5 total for the season -- not too shabby when he's the only real threat and probably sees double teams.

Wow who would have thought when we were 2-6 that we were going to make a playoff game. I am very happy with the way the defense improved over the second half.
1st Half PPG - 26.75 2nd Half PPG - 13.38 We cut the opponents scoring in half during our 8 game win streak. That is very encouraging.

I am simultaneously happy and saddened.
I'm happy that things have come together, that our game planning seems to be paying off, and that the team is doing well. I'm saddened that it is so damned easy to win at this game. What kind of monstrous house rules should we be following here, in order to maintain any level of challenge? For me, it simply isn't a lot of fun knowing that the only thing keeping you from winning all the time is your own self-imposed shackles. This seems to be much worse in FOF4 than in any previous versions of the game, and it really undermines the playability, I think. I realize that we are all veteran FOF gamers, and have been around the block - so we are already past many rookie mistakes that others might make. But honestly now, we're playing this game on the highest skill level (remember way back... remember when you actually had to think about what level to play... before it became an obvious default?) and we assembled a ragtag team from the scraps of free agency... and we're suddenly on a total roll, looking statistically sound, and like a potential threat in the playoffs. Is that at all realistic? Isn't something important missing from the game is we have to practicaly self-flagellate any measure of challenge from it? Anyway... back to the happy side. Congratulations, everyone, on a surprisingly successful season! |
