The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

  • La Batalla De La Nfc Oeste Del Lunes Por La Noche Sobresale En La Décima Semana
    SE SOLICITA SU DIFUSIÓN 05/11/19 http://twitter.com/nfl345 Notas de la NFL de la décima semana LA BATALLA DE LA NFC OESTE DEL LUNES POR LA NOCHE SOBRESALE EN LA DÉCIMA SEMANA Para ayudar a celebrar la 100ª temporada de la NFL, cada semana tendrá un Partido de la semana NFL100. Cada juego será un guiño a enfrentamientos trascendentales disputados en la historia, una rivalidad feroz cimentada durante décadas, un duelo de equipos originales y/o un juego en el que quedó en los anales. La NFL designó el duelo del domingo ATLANTA FALCONS-NEW ORLEANS SAINTS como el Partido de la Semana NFL100 porque es un buen recuerdo del emocionante apertura de temporada en casa de los Saints en 2006, cuando el equipo encendió el resurgimiento de una comunidad devastada por el huracán Katrina. En un momento electrizante en el Superdome el 25 de septiembre de 2006, STEVE GLEASON bloqueó un despeje en el primer período y CURTIS DELOATCH recuperó el balón en la zona de anotación, una anotación inicial vigorizante en el primer juego de temporada regular en la ciudad desde el 24 de diciembre de 2004. Alentados por los triunfos, los invictos Saints (3-0) alcanzaron el Juego de Campeonato de la NFC, y tres años más tarde ganaron el Super Bowl. El partido también marcó el primer duelo en casa en su carrera en New Orleans del líder histórico de la NFL en yardas pasando, DREW BREES. LA ESPERANZA ES LO ÚTIMO QUE SE PIERDE. A lo largo de las primeras nueve semanas de la temporada 2019, cuatro equipos –los BUFFALO BILLS (6-2), GREEN BAY PACKERS (7- 2), MINNESOTA VIKINGS (6-3) y SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (8-0)– están en posición de postemporada tras haberse perdido la postemporada un año atrás.

  • Get Downfield Before the Ball Lands, Pos- Mation Would Be Required to Properly Appropriate Sibly Reducing Return Opportunities, Thus Increasing Blame for These Mishaps
    Journal of Sports Analytics 4 (2018) 201–213 201 DOI 10.3233/JSA-180164 IOS Press A flight-based metric for evaluating NFL punters R. Drew Pasteur∗, Emily Howerton, Preston Pozderac, Stuart Young and Jonathan Moore Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, College of Wooster, Wooster, OH, USA Abstract. Common evaluation metrics for NFL punters are outdated, failing to account for field position and touchbacks. Using detailed information on each punt of the 2013 season, a nonlinear model is developed, using these factors alongside hang time, coverage quality, and environmental conditions. This leads to punter evaluation metrics using expected points added (EPA), both in total and per punt. The persistence of punting skill is explored, and the relationships between performance and salary are discussed. Keywords: Punting, player evaluation, expected points, NFL, American football 1.

  • Nfc West Battle on Monday Night Highlights Week 10
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11/5/19 http://twitter.com/nfl345 NFC WEST BATTLE ON MONDAY NIGHT HIGHLIGHTS WEEK 10 To help celebrate the NFL’s 100th season, each week will feature an NFL 100 Game of the Week. Each game is a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made. The NFL has designated Sunday’s ATLANTA FALCONS-NEW ORLEANS SAINTS matchup as the NFL100 Game of the Week because the contest is a nod to the momentous 2006 Saints home-opener, when the team sparked the resurgence of a community devastated by Hurricane Katrina. In an electrifying moment at the Superdome on September 25, 2006, STEVE GLEASON blocked a first-quarter punt and CURTIS DELOATCH recovered the ball in the end zone, an uplifting initial score in the city’s first regular-season game since December 26, 2004. Buoyed by the win, the 3-0 Saints advanced to the NFC Championship game, and three years later won the Super Bowl. The game also marked the first home contest in the New Orleans career of the NFL’s all-time passing-yards leader, DREW BREES. HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL: Through the first nine weeks of the 2019 season, four teams – the BUFFALO BILLS (6-2), GREEN BAY PACKERS (7-2), MINNESOTA VIKINGS (6-3) and SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (8-0) – are in playoff position after missing the postseason a year ago. From 1990-2018 – a streak of 29 consecutive years – at least four teams have qualified for the playoffs in every season that were not in the postseason the year before.
