  • APBA 2019 Football Game Card Set the Following Players Comprise the 2019 Season APBA Football Player Card Game Set
    APBA 2019 Football Game Card Set The following players comprise the 2019 season APBA Football Player Card Game Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • Head Coach Ron Rivera
    July 28, 2021 Head Coach Ron Rivera On S Landon Collins: “Well, I think he worked at it. He worked very well, very hard. He did the things that he needed to, and it's good to see him back out on the football field. He came in in great shape, so he's, ready to roll and we're excited about the competition we'll have.” On how he sees Collins fitting into the safety group: “We do, we have a lot of options, a lot of good pieces. And as I said, it's exciting to watch it's going to be a good competition. Landon has done a lot of good things in the past for this football team. We’ll see how he continues to grow and get better.” On placing WR Curtis Samuel on the PUP list: “Well, he had the groin injury, obviously in mini-camp, so we're just bringing along. We want to make sure he's fine and we’ll go from there.” On not seeing the full offense out on the field without Samuel: Not yet, but we have a background with Curtis. So, we're familiar with the things that he's done and we know what to expect from him. The big thing will be how he interacts with his teammates around him, on the field. That's the thing that you’re trying to create right now by having reps outside.” On the stability that TE Logan Thomas and DT Jonathan Allen bring to the team: “Well, I think that the thing, and hopefully the other players, their teammates see that we're serious about wanting to keep guys that do things the right way, guys that fit what we do and how we do it.
