Re: (TFT) Sports stuff

Jerry Rice, 40 yard dash, ~4.6 to 4.7 seconds, MA 30, perception time 0.13 to 0.16 of a second
Chad Johnson, 1.8 second 10 yard dash, ~4.4 40, MA 32, +0.1 sec for full stop cuts, ~2750 cubic foot hemisphere target, full sphere ~5500 cubic foot volume
Luis Castillo, 9 mph burst off of line, 1.3 seconds to QB from position 5 yards e/w of Center and 2 yard n/s penetration into backfield
Ben Roethlisberger, 1.2 seconds for 5 step drop back of ~8 yards, ~0.18 of a second throw action time, 1.5 seconds from Center to throw action time
Inferred, ~0.1 of a second between drop back and throw to ID target, ~0.06 seconds per step forward, Chad Johnson has a rough burst off of line around 11 mph
Now I see lots of rule of thumb type information about all kinds of athletic performance and Ibm curious to try and see how one works out under my little attempt. A quarterback will drop back further to give receivers time to run longer routes for more total yards. 
A 3 step drop allows 3 to 7 yards.
A 5 step drop allows 10 to 15 yards.
A 7 step drop allows 20+ yards.
Letbs see.
So my QB is a Roethlisberger type throwing to a Rice/Johnson hybrid receiver.
The data I have for Ben (see the-rapist) is for a 5 step drop but he seems to cover just over a yard and a half per step and takes just less than a quarter of a second for each step meaning there should be around a half a second and a yards difference between a 3 to 5 or a 5 to 7 step drop. As Bennie boy was clocked at a total action time of about 1.5 seconds from snap to release for a 5 step drop at 8 yards deep this suggests his 3 step is 5 yards deep with a snap to release action time of 1 second and his 7 step would be 2 seconds at 11 yards deep. 

Jerrybs MA is about 30.
At full speed hebs doing about 6 hexes a second.
If Ben throws at 60 mph then the ball is moving 20 hexes per second.
Keeping it basic for now Jerrybs at 6, 9, or 12 hexes down field when Ben releases equating to about 8.5, 13, or 17 yards. This is a bit shallow for the data but it only represents where Jerry is located when Ben releases the ball. At this point the ball is now traveling about three and a third times faster than Jerry so each hex Jerry travels the ball travels three and a third on its line. Letbs look at the deep out assuming the throw will end up originating from the hex he started in. 
Jerrybs at 12 hexes when Ben throws.
Jerry goes to hex 13, the ball travels 3.3 hexes toward him from the starting hex. 
Jerry goes to hex 14 and the ball is at about 6.5 hexes.
Jerry moves to hex 15 and the ball is at hex 10 (over 14 yards) after half a second of flight. 
Jerry makes hex 16 while the ball is well past hex 13.
Somewhere in hex 17 the ball catches up to Jerry and itbs time to make a catch check approaching a second after the ball was released after Jerry is close to a quarter of the way 
down a 100 yard field.

Hummmmm

Jerrybs only at 9 hexes for the 5 step.
10 and 3.3
11 and 6.6
12 and 10
13 catch check
13 hexes is about 18.5 yards.

6 hexes is
7 and 3.3
8 and 6.6
9 catch check
9 hexes is about 13 yards.
There is no opposition in this example and the route is an assumed n/s line and the QB drop back distance is ignored but it ought to give an idea of the use. 



Positions

Center, 6b1b 295 lbs, calls protection, starts play,

Passing guards, 325 to 330 lbs, pass blocking,
Running guards, 300 to 310 lbs, run blocking,
Offensive tackles, 6b6b 330 to 350 lbs, push the line forward on runs, pass blocking, An offensive right tackle is typically on the strong side with the tight end and usually the stronger of the two An offensive left tackle is on a right handed quarter backs blind side and is usually the quicker of the two
Tight end, 6b4b 250 lbs, pass and run blocking, outlet, and receiving depending on scheme, often position shared between a blocking and receiving tight end, 

Quarterback, 6b3b 235 to 245 lbs, dictates play,

Full back, 6b to 6b2b 250 lbs, run and pass blocking

Running back, 5b6b 160 lbs to 6b+ 250 lbs, very style dependent
Defensive tackles, 1 gap tackle 290 to 300 lbs, 2 gap tackle 300 to 350 lbs, nose tackle 350+ lbs and about 6.5 feet tall 
A 1 gap tackle tries to shoot his gap into the backfield to disrupt play
A 2 gap tackle typically blocks guard and tries to push him into the backfield 
A nose tackle is a 2 gap tackle that demands a double team from the offence

Strong safety, 210 lbs, plays closer to line and is typically responsible for back in motion 

Free safety, 200 lbs, plays back and covers end/receiver in motion
