Should We Include Individual ST Points In 2010?

Post by pizzatyme » Thu Oct 22, 2009 2:55 am

Def and ST are two completely different components in the NFL.

If you don't want to award the individual player, fine. Then separate the D from the ST and give them each meaningful scoring. Then just add a mandatory starting position for ST.

This way the Josh Cribbs of the world have a voice. As it is now, the Cleveland D/ST is barely rosterable because the return game is devalued by the putrid Defense.

I know this will not fly, however, as it is not what the herd is used to.

I wish this contest would lead more than follow, but I understand why it doesn't. I don't agree, but I understand.
2008- Didn't finish last overall in the Classic.
2009- Didn't finish last overall in the Classic or Primetime.

Read my post on the bottom of page 8, get to know that rule, it will come in handy for next season. ;)

Yes, the herd's voice comes through loud and clear.

In other news, the sky is blue.

I LIKE IT! :D ....

or just get rid of ST TD's from the defense completely, which has been mentioned). I don't think ANYONE drafts a defense in THIS scoring system based on how many kick and punt return TD's they will have.

Either option works for me.

I agree, since it is change, most will not want want it.

I'm just a guy home with a sick child (and now wife), who chimed in on a topic.

My opinion is no more important than anyone else's. I just think a lot of my reasoning is being distorted or misunderstood.

Speaking of reasoning, we need the "voice of reason" KJ to chime in here. :D

My point was. Russ wants to see the rule changed is now upset that Greg may(May) not do it, but almost everyone so far wants to keep it has it is.

I posted(Bottom of page 8) what I think it should be changed too. When You or other's go to your Boss You don't say I hate the way things are, than turn around and leave his or her office, You tell him what You don't like.

I gave that. :D

Yes, individual players should receive points for the touchdowns they score on Special Teams

I'm not going to quit because of it, or whine, I'll just deal with it. It's just something that I feel could make this ALREADY great contest even better! :D

Just ONE man's opinion. ;)
