Being as such, if we actually can get 11-on-11 games going on, I think that people will have to run legit plays and that even if the QB scrambles, someone will be there to get him.

I agree; theres no way we could play tackle and have it work-out. At least not sponsored and everything like were talking. I do think we could get 11 on 11 going with the "dummie bags" as someone else was saying. That would be alot of fun, we could have pulling gaurds and stuff. It'd be a blast. Counter Tre!! :headbange

8-on-8 with offensive and defensive squads would be a great idea.

It keeps the number of teams down to a minimum and gives everyone a chance to play.

Hey Matty, did you ask any of the websites you contacted to email the Redskins to show THEIR interest too?

I played in intramural flag football leagues in college and I don't remember the rule regarding the QB and scrambling, but it was never an issue. I'll ask one of my buddies to see if he remembers.

As far as playing tackle, if we want the Redskins involved it would probably never happen, just too much liability at stake.

Even though I'd love to play some old fashioned smash mouth ball, I can't risk getting seriously injured either. It's one thing when you're 20 something years old, it's a whole different story when you're 32 and have bills to pay.

One thing that I always thought was really key to flag football was having a quality QB.

Seems like whoever had the good QBs went really far, and a good O-line is nice of course.

Is there anyone here that is seriously a good QB??

Depends what you're lookin for. I'm very accurate and can throw some really nice balls, but I dont have really good arm strenth. Therefore I'll hang up alot of balls that are more than like 15-20 yards. I'm sure there is someone here that is better than I am, I wouldnt say I'm good, but I'm not bad if we have no other options.

Screw you assh*les. I'm going to Denver....

we can just have tryouts in the first practice if it goes through, and assign positions by merit there etc...

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Definitely. I believe we're going to have to have people take a few days off of work to stay in the DC area while this thing goes down.

With a K2 or a Nerf I'm freakin Joe Montana...otherwise my hands are just too small

I've played in leagues and the contact was pretty significant. You couldn't tackle obviously, but we had our share of penalties for that.

You also couldn't block below the waist, but other than that anything goes.
