I have looked to every one of my committee members for guidance and support throughout this process and I would not be where I am today without their help. Dr. Zhang has helped me with everything from cutting turf out of the ground to skyping me from China the week before my proposal. Throughout the whole process you have been nothing but respectful of my opinions and ideas and for that I’m thankful. I would also like to thank my friends and family for their unwavering support throughout this project. The survival grocery care packages from my mom have probably kept me alive during the weeks I could not find time to go to the store. Thanks Mom! I also want to thank Lexie for her help throughout data collection and analysis. I really appreciate you helping me put down turf on Friday nights, only to spend the rest of your weekend helping me collect and clean up the lab. Thanks for everything! iii Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine kinematic and kinetic differences in three shoe conditions (traditional football shoes with natural and synthetic turf studs and a neutral running shoe) during two common football movements (a 180° cut and a land- cut movement) on infilled synthetic turf. Fourteen recreational male football players performed five trials in all three shoe conditions for a 180° cut as well as a land-cut maneuver. The kinematic and kinetic variables were analyzed with a 3 x 2 (shoe x movement) repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA, p<0.05). Peak free moment was significantly greater for the land-cut trials (p<0.001). Vertical GRFs were significantly greater for the land-cut trials (p<0.001). A cleat x movement interaction was seen for time to vertical impact GRF (p=0.048). A cleat main effect was found for time to vertical impact between natural turf cleat and synthetic turf cleat (p=0.019). Vertical loading rate was significantly greater in land-cut trials. Peak medial GRFs showed a significant cleat x movement interaction (p=0.002). The results from this study suggest that land-cut movement elicit greater vertical GRF and vertical impact loadings rates. The running shoe had significantly less dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) than the synthetic turf studs. A significant cleat main effect was found for peak eversion velocity (p=0.005). Post hoc comparisons showed that it was significantly smaller in shoe than that natural turf stud (p=0.016) and synthetic turf stud (p=0.002). In general, there was a lack of differences between the shoe conditions for GRFs and kinematic variables. For the 180° cut movement, natural turf studs produced lowest peak medial GRF compared to the synthetic turf studs and the shoe. The results from this study suggest that land-cut movement elicit greater vertical GRF and vertical impact loadings iv rates. In general, there was a lack of differences of GRFs and kinematic variables between the shoe conditions. For the 180° cut movement, natural turf studs produced lowest peak medial GRF compared to the synthetic turf studs and the shoe. Overall, increased GRFs, especially in combination with rapid change of direction and deceleration may increase the chance of injury. v Table of Contents Acknowledgements ..........................................................................................................................ii Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................. v List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. viii List of Figures ................................................................................................................................... x Chapter 1 ......................................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Statement of Problem .......................................................................................................... 7 Significance of Study ........................................................................................................... 7 Limitations ............................................................................................................................. 8 Delimitations .......................................................................................................................... 9 Chapter 2 ....................................................................................................................................... 11 Literature Review .................................................................................................................... 11 Injury Mechanisms ............................................................................................................. 11 Synthetic Surfaces ............................................................................................................. 14 Football Shoe Classifications ........................................................................................... 21 Shoe-Surface Interaction and the Risk of Injury ............................................................ 27 Kinetics of Landing, Pivoting and Cutting Movements ................................................. 34 vi Landing: ............................................................................................................................... 36 Cutting: ................................................................................................................................. 38 Chapter 3 ....................................................................................................................................... 42 Methods ................................................................................................................................... 42 Participants .......................................................................................................................... 42 Equipment ................................................................................................................................ 43 Protocol .................................................................................................................................... 46 Data Processing and Analysis .............................................................................................. 52 Chapter 4 ....................................................................................................................................... 53 Biomechanical Differences Among Single-leg Landing and Cutting Movements in Two Football Studs on Infilled Synthetic Turf ..................................................................................................... 53 Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 53 Methods ..................................................................................................................................

The Streak route down the seam vs a vacated middle of the field 3. Deep Corner route vs a cover 2 look 4. Backside drag Overview: In the video, I ran this play flipped just to give you a look at what I like to do from bunch and that you can run the same setup flipped if you mirror it. You are going to want to immediately look at the out route and take it if it is there. If not, then you start to work your eyes upfield and look inside toward the tight end. The money route is our deep corner vs cover 2, but you don’t want to stare it down and miss wide open reads earlier in the progression. Play: Pa Post Setup: 1. Drag TE Reads: 1. Drag to the tight end right away 2. High low in the flats between the C route to the left WR and the Drag 3. Backside high low between the slant and the angled route to the slot Overview: This is probably the most popular play in madden 18, and with good reason. The play action will help protect you from any blitzes your opponent sends, and then you have a pressure release and multiple high lows that really stretch the defense vertically. Play: HB Base Setup: none Overview: This is by far the most dominant run from a gun bunch formation.

  • Routenet: a Convolutional Neural Network for Classifying Routes Nathan Sterken [email protected] Seattle, WA
    1/21/2019 nfl_bdb_2019 - Google Docs RouteNet: a convolutional neural network for classifying routes Nathan Sterken [email protected] Seattle, WA Abstract I assigned route labels to ~1,000 location traces of eligible receivers and then used that data to train a convolutional neural network (‘RouteNet’) to classify routes. I classified all ~35,000 receiver location traces in the Big Data Bowl dataset using RouteNet. Based on these labels, the game situation, and the positioning of the eligible receivers (pre-snap and at the time of ball arrival) this paper analyzes the effectiveness of various receiver-route combinations. Introduction My goal with this paper is to respond to the third theme of the 2019 Big Data Bowl -- identifying the best receiver-route combinations. As an All-Pro armchair quarterback I knew what the answer should be before starting -- throw it deep, of course -- but I wanted to see if the tracking data backed up this belief. Specifically, to identify the best receiver-route combinations I built a system for classifying all routes, appended related datasets, computed additional variables, and then generated plots and regressions of my target variable. The rest of this paper explains those steps in more detail and presents the optimal receiver-route combinations by game situation. Defining successful outcomes for receivers I use win probability added (WPA) as defined in the nflWAR paper [5] as my measure of success. WPA is great because (1) it distills each team’s goal into a single metric; (2) it accounts for game situation (for example, by recognizing that a 5-yd completion on 4th and 2 is great while a 5-yd completion on 4th and 6 is terrible, and that completions in garbage time actually aren’t worth much); and (3) it is easily available thanks to the great nflscrapR-data github repo [4].

    MY DAYS AS A FIGHTING SCOT AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATORY JOURNALISM A Report of a Senior Study by Kevin Lewis Wheatley Major: Writing/Communication Maryville College Fall, 2008 Date Approved _____________, by ________________________ Faculty Supervisor Date Approved _____________, by ________________________ Editor 1 CHAPTER I WHAT AM I DOING AND WHY AM I DOING IT? ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATORY JOURNALISM I am an aspiring sports journalist currently working as a sports stringer for the Knoxville News Sentinel. By default, this title usually implies I have a bitter athletic past and am extremely judgmental of the jock culture. This bitterness is stereotypically attributed to a variety of factors, ranging from being picked last on the playground for dodge ball to getting my feelings deeply hurt by a fanatical high school baseball coach. Because of my status as a sportswriter, I’m not supposed to truly understand what happens in a huddle on the football field or inside of a locker room. By trade, I am an outsider. Well, consider me an outsider no more. I am coming out of retirement from football and putting on the pads to become a Fighting Scot. Granted, my playing experience consisted of two years as an offensive lineman in high school and I am going to play quarterback for the Scots. I have not stepped foot on the gridiron in nearly five years, but that does not matter. This is not about winning the starting quarterback job and obtaining glory on the football field. No, for me this creative thesis is about gaining a new perspective on the game of football through participatory journalism that will help stimulate my growth as a writer, especially as a sports journalist.

  • South Carroll Offense
    South Carroll Offense Running Game In our run game we are able to feature our running back vs. 4, 5, and 6 defenders in the box. We are also able to run the ball with our quarterback. Our starting point will be throwing the football, or maintaining the LOOK of throwing the football. When teams begin taking defenders out of the box to defend the pass we will then run the ball effectively. We can run the ball out of any formation that we have. In addition we will run the ball to balance our offense. We will use schemes that help us to outnumber the defense at the point of attack and use their alignment to our advantage. We can also use the running game to set up the passing game. We will do so by including play action plays in our passing attack. 61 Chase 4-1 3-2 B B B E T T E E N E Ace B Duce A-Back 4-2 BEARS B B B E T T E E T N T E Ace B A Instruction and Assignment QB We prefer to run this play at the A-Gap player. Stare down the DE away from the play. Hand off the ball and boot away from the play. On Chase Read, read the backside DE and hand off or keep the ball accordingly. Vs. back side blitz on Chase Read hand off. RB Attack the outside foot of the play-side tackle while reading the tackle’s block. If he reaches the DE cut outside.

  • Deuce Rt/Lt Gun Boston Boot
    DEUCE RT/LT GUN BOSTON BOOT QUARTERBACK: Shotgun: Catch the snap and extend the ball. Ride the F for a give or keep decision. If there are more defenders weak than strong then give the football to the F and carry out the fake. If there are more defenders strong than weak then carry out the fake and boot opposite of F’s direction. Read the CRead C-C---XX Z. If the Center is open hit him on the deep Corner. If the defense sinks deep look for the X on the Return. Expect the Z to show up late as the last read. F: Balanced Stance. Open up with the foot nearest to the QB and raise the elbow nearest to the QB. Give the QB a pocket as you pass in front. Run at an angle towards the Z. If you get the ball run to daylight. If not then carry out fake full speed. C: Stance is balanced. Snap the ball then sprint to 12 yards then plant and run to the sideline on a Corner route. You are the first target on this route. Z: Inside foot up in stance. Get a normal split release off of the ball to a depth of 10 yards and run an Over route. Be patient. This route is the last option for the QB and it can’t get open too soon. X: Inside foot up in stance. Explode hard down inside. Let the Center go in front and cross over his path. After you cross the midline of the play pivot and return back outside.

We use this when running a 7-yard out, 12-yard out, and some breaks across the middle of the field. Here a receiver is breaking to his left and has just started his “Speed- cut” by using a “Pressure-Step”, which is placed at a 45-degree angle relative to the LOS, or in this case, you yard line itself. The same receiver is now in the second step of his “Speed-cut” and his left foot is now at the “Parallel-step” in the route. Here is a diagram of the footwork involved in the “Comeback-cut” which is used to create separation primarily from a defender who is now out of his back-peddle. We now have to break away from him and come back to the football. We use this when running a 12-yard curl, seven-step comeback, 18-yard comeback, and, to some extent, a 4-step hitch route. We also use some of these principles when running some types of digs, square-ins and stick routes run primarily by the tight-end.

    © All Rights Reserved. Visit www.Football-Tutorials.com for more Passing Tree Cheat Sheet football coaching resources Each number corresponds to a different route, with the first number going the x receiver, the second number corresponding to the y receiver, and the third corresponding to the z receiver. We’ll get to what those letters mean in a second, but for now, here’s a look at the simplest way for your QB to tell his receivers their assignments. 0 - The Drag Route 9 Also known as an in route, this is a very common and simple route. Just have the receiver run forward, less than five yards, and make a sharp angled cut towards the inside, running to the sideline. 1 - The Flat Route 8 Usually reserved for FBs and HBs, the flat route is a run parrallel to the line of scrimmage out towards 7 20 the sideline, looking back to the QB for a pass. This route is usually available as a safety net for the QB to check down to. 2 - The Slant Route 6 When you need a high percentage completion for solid yardage, the slant route and you will become 5 fast friends. To perform it, have your receiver take 3 hard steps downfield before planting with their 10 outside foot and quickly cutting to the center of the field. 2 3 - The Out Route 4 One of the most often used routes in the game, the out route is executed via a forward run of more 3 than 5 and less than 10 yards, followed by a sharp 90° cut to the sideline.
