In the words of Ari Gold: BOOM

 

What time/day works for people?

[HarleyQuinn 0]

Any day and time (anywhere from 6 PM - 10 PM ET) works.

[Broward83 0]

The 25th or 26th would be good for me...

[Cartman 0]

Any weekday after 3pm as of now. Although I have Softball playoffs starting next week on random days

 

Weekends anytime.

 

Only weekend exceptions for me are this saturday 7pm, which is the other league's draft time...and Sunday September 2nd 430pm EST.

If you can fit one more in for the "official" TSM league, I'll definitely do it, but if not that's cool too.

 

Additional question for Harley: I looked at the pre-draft rankings list and we can't put team defenses on there. Did you do something different or am I overlooking something? Thanks

[Guest]

I would have done it as well.

[Sideburnious 0]

Yeah, I'd join too if I wasn't retarded and had no idea even how to find the league.

The league's IDP (Independent Defensive Players) thus there are no team defenses.

 

Just a reminder that the draft is this Saturday at 7 PM ET. We currently have 11 spots filled with 3 spots remaining.

Mooootherfucker.

Poor Rando

 

1 spot left in my league.

[razazteca 0]

Sack (5)

Interception (8)

This has to be a mistake.

[JHawk 0]

You're full.

 

Tuesdays and Sundays work best for a draft with me.

Nope.

 

Granted, it will likely (most probably...) result in "fluke"ish weeks but I was sick of DL like Freeney, Kampman, etc. being looked over for LBs who shouldn't have been taken ahead of them. Same with Safeties being taken over CBs who didn't rack up tackles. Sean Taylor with his 89 tackles, 0 sacks, and 1 INT would be taken over a Chris McAlister with 6 INT just b/c McAlister "only had" 43 tackles, which seems wrong.

 

Even in my scoring setup last year only Aaron Kampman and Jason Taylor ranked in the Top 10 in FPPG. The others with high sacks were DE/LB hybrids who all had at least 60+ tackles (Merriman would've topped 60 tackles if he had played a full 16 game season).

 

LB Antonio Pierce still ranked 17th despite having just 1 sack and 1 INT, in large part b/c of his 109 tackles.

 

In the Top 30, 12 topped 6 sacks all year (7 topped 10). In regards to DB, in the Top 30 only 8 DB topped 6 INT.

 

Why should a DE who has 3 tackles with 2 sacks (Traditional = 7 FP vs. Mine = 13 FP) be penalized vs. a LB with 9 tackles (9 FP in both setups) simply b/c the LB's D couldn't get off the field? Same with a CB with 4 tackles and 1 INT (Traditional = 7 FP vs. Mine = 12 FP) vs. a Safety with 10 tackles (10 FP in both setups)?

 

This allows players who are primarily sack artists/ballhawks to get some reward for their big play. Guys like London Fletcher, Zach Thomas, and DeMeco Ryans still rank high largely due to their tackles. Same goes for Adrian Wilson, Chris Hope, and Kerry Rhodes.

 

Hopefully this also allows for more strategy in the Draft. Do you take a guy with 8 sack potential over the LB who could rack up 90 tackles but little else? Do you take that safety who gives you 80+ tackles a year or the CB who's had 5 INT each of the past 3 seasons?

 

As far as any luck concerning a player having a "fluke" huge week, it happens. Why penalize a DB for having a great week with 2 INT when he could go the next 7-8 weeks with 0 INT?

 

As for the draft, how many teams can make it Saturday night?

[the pinjockey 0]

Time's fine with me

[Cartman 0]

Hmm...I think this is gonna be tough for me as I really don't ever pay enough attention to Individual defensive players.

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

I can do saturday but I'd prefer 6PM. Is that doable?

[HarleyQuinn 0]

Sure if the other owners are up to it.

[the pinjockey 0]

fine by me

[Cartman 0]

6 is fine for me

Looks like you want to balance out the defense with good intentions but what you have done was produced yet another problem. There is no reason why a INT should get more fantasy points than a TD. If you are worried about DL getting to be too powerful well then you need to lower the tackle and sack stats. I would suggest getting rid of the assist tackles and no more than 3 points for a sack. To make the DL = DB then make the Sack = INT then everything would be perfect right. And if you still think that DL >DB then add another stat for the DB may I suggest Pass Defended for the nickle/dime backs who don't play every down.

 

In my opinion I believe that DE are the equivalent to the RB where they are the HOSS of that side of the team. Now why would you want to penalize them because they are the first option on the defense? You are over valuing the DB and are hypnotized by the aura that is the "superstar" player like Neon Deon or Pacman who is always happy to give an interview on cam.

I can't make it Saturday night due to work, but I already have my rankings set up anyway. So just go with it.

Maybe I misintended things but I wasn't comparing DL scoring to DB but rather the internal positions in each to the overall (DE/DT vs. LB in DL and CB vs. S in DB).

 

I guess, I'm more trying to "balance" the DE/DT with the LB and the CB/NB with the S in terms of value within their respective categories. As for the INT outscoring the TD... you're right and an INT has been changed to 5 points, the same value as a sack.

 

Also, the draft time has been changed to 6 PM ET on 8/18 to accomodate OOG.

[razazteca 0]

The way I understand it Yahoo calls DE,DT, LB = DL and the whole secondary is DB. So unless this is more than the basic league I don't think you can change the IDP to the individual positions of DE, DT, LB, S, SF, CB, nickle, dime, kickoff specialist.

*mumble something about not being able to sign up cause the league is full*

6 is fine, but seeing as how it's Saturday night I might not be around, but my players are ranked so it's all good.
