Ac west week 7

[Guest]

This week in the west 2 teams are off which means Denver and LA have a chance to make up some ground.

First The Grizz go to waco who is wrapping up their tour of the ac west. its a big game for denver witha win they can move into a tie with Utah for 1st. Waco should consider a move to the ac west, the only 2 wins they had were against Phoenix and LA. denver looks to be in good shape as the have won 5 of the last 6 and the D is ranked 8th in yards allowed and 11th in fewest points allowed.

in the other game this weekend Memphis hosts the monsters in what coudl be a tough game for los alamos LA is #1 against the pass but memphis and the "water pistol" offense is #1 throwing the ball if they can get their running game going and sustain some drives they can play keep away and hold memphis down. memphis has history on its side as well, they have not lost to Los alamos in 8 tries, perhaps LA is due

Yes! We are back after that embarrassing loss. It is nice to be tied for the division lead again. Let's see if my defensive performance against Waco makes Nutah try and pound the ball on the ground.

Well the defense did their job and Gimmarro had a "monster" game with 3 interceptions. Maybe we can get on track at home this week.

Just looking at the box score it is tough to see how you lost that game. And I have to say - what's up with McCumber? He is not playing up to his ratings. I think, once you figure out how to get McCumber going, that your team will be deadly. Although, maybe teams are just stacking run defenses on you? Then again, your offensive line is banged up.

I'm going to have to look at this because we are going to play two games at some point... I don't want McCumber to find his mojo against us.

I haven't checked the game out yet as I've got a nasty flu bug today but overall our rushing yards are improving and that is with a banged up offensive line. If I can get away from the interceptions and stop the big plays on special teams we might come around. My best DB should be coming off the injured list in a few weeks and that should help.

i can only speak to getting rushing yards out of the RB and thats it. considering the bars my rb has and the production i got out of him.

1st thing id say is hes got be @100% pt and perhaps commit to the run a bit more. to wit in 2016 will shumways best year he carried the ball 346 times yet my qb still threw 3000+ and 20tds. i was 7th in scoring. in fact as high as i have my run set i still think i pass too much on 1st and 10

just ride him till he drops id run him 90%! and youve done a great job gettign him catches, take this with a grain of salt i speak only as somone who has gotten a lot of production out of a mediocre back it may not help you win but you will get some good stats
LOL

That will not help with yards per carry and that's Cucumber's big issue right now.

I beg to differ remember its dice rolls. and the stats bear it out every game McCumber has averaged 4+ypc the #2 rb has had 4 or less carries. for what ever reason Harvey Shepard seems to be gettign the "big play" dice rolls. i had this problem myself a while back i used to use Lacasse in 3rd and short but will shumway woudl have a lot of games like maccumber is 20 carries 70~ yds and lacasse would have 5 carries for 36 yds

mccumber is a td waiting to happen, hes bo jackson, id give him 30 carries a game if i could hell id give my right arm to get him. he was #2 on my draft list if chris lowe was gone

[Guest]

we always talk abotu how this game does not relate to real football but one of the few things that is true is that you get your best players the ball early and often.

i GUARANTEE you cut the #2 backs carries lower youll see his ypc and runs of 10+ numbers go up

and again you may not win games but maccumber will play up to his bars

By the way, Cucumber is near the top of the league in terms of carries per game. It is not like his endurance is 100. My bet is that he's already set to play 100% of the time or close to it.

For the other speculatory stuff, that seems like a wild theory. I'm not so sure it would hold up under testing. I will agree that the small sample may be a factor, though.

lol well id love to trade backs and see what would happen then. i might be able to score more than 20 points

and as for the other stuff not really specualation but more statistical probablity, im starting to think of this game more like a D&D game, and with stats like his i want as many chances to roll a 99 with him on the field as oppsed to the other guy cause macombers 99 result will be betther than his

[Aston]

D&D? Now you lost me.

And now I feel even more like a nerd, playing FOF. :(

[Guest]

If you didn't get the D&D reference, you're not a nerd. :D

LMAO ROFL

ok so the D&D thing made sense glad someone got that, live long and prosper my fellow nerds

I think that is what you are after:

In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a theorem that describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times. According to the law, the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value, and will tend to become closer as more trials are performed.

But let me take this further. Let's say that Cucumber is a 5 YPC back under the right circumstances. You are right that if he gets enough carries that eventually his numbers will trend towards 5 YPC. But I will argue that those carries do not have to be all in one game. Stretched out over a full season, you should get a better idea of a player's true numbers (although, with thousands of players you will still see the odd result from time to time, even with a full season).

In fact, I would argue the opposite. If you are running too much, defensive familiarity pops up. Not to mention Cucumber's endurance. If you call your own plays, there is at least some evidence of a performance impact if you give a guy more carries than his endurance can support.
