I've seen this a few times, but how often does it actually work since it seems like it won't since the other team knows he's eligible. Goal line situations/short yardage?

Usually it's in a goal line situation with the tackle lined up as a TE

That's how you get Mike Vrabel, stud TE

Most of the time people are just regurgitating what [a talking head/internet guru/person who has an opionion they like] said.

This applies to almost everything. I listen to the local sports station on my way home from work and it's hilarious to hear how often the guys at work literally parrot the exact same things from the night before. It's like they're taking notes or something.

Speaking of which, can anyone post a link to that giant database of old playbooks? I never played football, so reading how it lays out literally everything was really interesting to me.

It wasn't, but thanks! The one I was talking about had a bunch of college playbooks, too

I would think that on any given day a very good college baseball team could beat a mediocre MLB team (though I could be wrong about that).
No way, for the same reasons as the Auburn could never in a million years beat the Panthers or whoever. Even the greatest college teams have only a few players go on to the NFL, much less star in it. It's the same deal in MLB.

I'd think it may be possible in the NBA, though, since one player can dominate so thoroughly in that.

To be fair, Gore was a true freshman in 2001

It's ridiculous to think that a team had Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, and Frank Gore as their RBs. You could hardly make a fantasy team like that

Najeh Davenport, Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Andre Johnson, Antrel Rolle, Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Clinton Portis, Phillip Buchanan, Frank Gore, Jonathan Vilma, Vince Wilfork, Bryant McKinnie, Kellen Winslow, Roscoe Parrish, Jeremy Shockey, Jerome McDougle, and Kevin Everett. I'm sure I missed several, too.

edit: They had 6 guys go in the first round of the draft. Someone please find a more stacked team than this

Has the NFL made any special provisions or whatever to keep the Jets from playing the Giants? The Raiders and Niners are, technically, walking distance away from one another and they still play one another, so would they have set up any special rules to just reroll the schedule for either the Jets or Giants should they get each others numbers?
No, why would they need to do that?

They played in the regular season in 07 and in the preseason in 08 and 09.

I was implying that there has to be a rule or whatever in place for the NFL to say "no, no we dont want you to play this team, go play that team instead."
I'm just wondering why them playing in the same stadium means that only one of them would be there at a time. Is there only one home locker room that gets cleaned out every week?
