    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) a SAFETY ANALYSIS

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) A SAFETY ANALYSIS By Gary Selby The Safety: One of football’s rarest scoring plays. The Digest of Rules in the NFL’s Record and Fact Book describes a safety as: “Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.” Emphasis on impetus. A fairly straightforward definition. Most fans know a safety when they see one, despite there being numerous types. But when they happen, its like an electric shock. The responses range from “What? So what’s the score now?” to “Better get another beer and some pretzels. This thing’s getting complicated.” But I wanted to look a little deeper. How many safeties have there been in the NFL? What are the types? What is their effect on a game? Can it be measured? I had never seen an analysis of the safety, so I decided to do one myself. My interest was sparked while reviewing files for the PFRA’s Linescore Project. In a 1965 Giants-Cardinals game I saw the following entry for an individual score: StL – Team Safety. Team Safety? Huh? Did the entire Cardinals defense tackle Tucker Fredrickson in his end zone? After a trip to the library revealed the answer, I kept thinking about how devastating a safety can be. You give up possession, give your opponent 2 points, and then you have to punt the ball from your own 20, giving your opponent good, if not excellent, field position.

September 2018 – Jetzt ist es offiziell! Nach [email protected] dem Abstieg in 2014 kehren die Troisdorf Jets im kommenden www.troisdorf-jets.de Jahr zurück in die German Football League 2 (Nord). Der American Football und Cheerleading Verband NRW hat das für Ihr Ansprechpartner: den kommenden Sonntag geplante Nachholspiel der Jets in Andreas Heinen Remscheid heute endgültig abgesagt. 03.09.2018 Die Partie wird mit 2:0 Punkten für die Troisdorfer Footballer PM-JETS-2018-26.docx gewertet (20:0 Scores) und damit bleiben die Jets uneinholbar auf dem ersten Tabellenplatz in der Regionalliga NRW. Selbst mit einem Sieg in ihrem letzten Saisonspiel können die ärgsten Konkurrenten aus Bielefeld nicht mehr an Troisdorf vorbeiziehen. Das eigentliche Spiel beim Amboss hätte bereits Mitte Juli stattfinden sollen, musste aber aufgrund einer Platzsperre im Remscheider Stadion Reinshagen abgesagt werden. Nun können sich die Troisdorf Jets also die Vorbereitung auf das letzte Saisonspiel sparen. „Meine Jungs haben seit November vergangenen Jahres sehr hart für den Erfolg gearbeitet und werden nun endlich für ihr Engagement belohnt“, sagt Head Coach Andreas Heinen. „Das gilt vor allem aber auch für meine Trainercrew, ohne die der Weg zum Titel nicht einmal annähernd möglich gewesen wäre.“ Die Nachricht von der Spielwertung hätten die Jets sicherlich gerne schon am vergangenen Samstag erhalten, dann wäre die Party nach dem Sieg gegen Essen sicherlich um einiges größer ausgefallen. Aber auch so sind die Troisdorfer glücklich, endlich wieder in der 2.
