Dolphins vs Triangles

[Coach Shawn]

Dolphins win toss and choose to kickoff.

Triangles  take it to their own 21 yard line.  After two runs behind guard the triangles are at 3rd down and 4 yards to go.   I set up Dolphins to defend pass.  The dice rolled a sweep to the right.   And then Lou Partlow shoots through the gap in Coverage and takes it all the way!

 

 

[Coach Shawn]

Dolphins return the Kick off to their 20.   They do an off tackle run on first down for a 52 yard gain,

Next play Dan Marino drops back to pass.   It is a white stick pass and Lou Partlow intercepts.

 

 

[Coach Shawn]

In my solitaire games all plays are rolled randomly.

I use 12 sided dice.  The specific die I use is based on the Down and yards to go for the first down.

in the play above I rolled a pass with receiver  X as the primary receiver.  If marino had been forced to pass to any other receiver then I would have added a pressure stick to the appropriate ball placement stick.

 

 

[Coach Shawn]

Continuing game today.

Oh man check this run out.  I tried to see if the guy behind him got him, but i could always see the curl of the invisibase and so I don’t believe they touched.   That Dolphin guy hit the blocker to Partlow’s right and that causes his base to flinch with contact but it was not Partlow’s contact.  So I had to rule TD.

 

Lou Partlow now has 154 yds rushing and two Rushing TDs.

Love how he straightened out!

I may have to incorporate more dice into my play.  How does the primary receiver work?

I agree with the ruling on the field.  TD stands!!  😊

After the defense is set you simply determine which player is your Primary receiver.  In solitaire I will randomly determine this, but in head to head the offensive coach will simply declare his choice.

Now once the play is started the offensive coach decides which receiver he will actually target.

• If the primary receiver is indeed the primary receiver then use normal rules for stick passing.
• If any other receiver is targeted then you must go up to the next longest stick from the one you measure out.  EXample: a white stick pass to a secondary receiver becomes a white stick with pressure.  Another example:  A red stick pass to a secondary receiver becomes a white Stick.

Gotcha.  I’m going to incorporate different methods next year.  I believe I play unbiased, but it’d be good to add another level to it.  I’ll be asking you lots of questions.

To determine the primary receiver I roll a six sided dice.

Determine primary receiver

1d6 roll:

1. QB
2. FB
3. HB
4. X receiver 
5. Y receiver 
6. Z receiver

If QB is rolled then anyone can be targeted normally as the QB is assumed to make a great read.

Lol.  
I used my Triangles against my brother’s Iowa Hawkeyes a couple days ago.   Lou showed up again!

Partlow intercepted a pass snd took it  40 yds for a TD.  He later scored his 2nd TD on a 20 yd run.

unfortunately the game ended in a 14-14 tie.

So cool to see these roaring 20s men on the gridiron.  Well done.
