neilfish2 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) If your league uses Def. players, and you get points for sacks, Tackles, Fumble, INT, ETC....plus if they recover and return an INT/Fumble for TD. Now if you have Verbal as a Def. player in your line-up, and he scores an offensive TD. Do you award him points for the TD? I don't think it should be allowed, because he is not listed in your line-up as a WR. The web site that we run our league on does not award him the points, but the comish can go in and add. Our league rules do not cover Def. player scoring on offense... Just want to know what do other leauges do in this situation...

whomper Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 We dont give out Tds unless they are in writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 In Fusion it is awarded. For IDP leagues, it is the player and not a team defense that scores. IMO, the player who scores the TD should get credit, even if playing "out of position." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 We dont give out Tds unless they are in writing so you count non-verbal TDs? What if he had just gestured for him to score a TD? glad I'm not in your wierd league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish247 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) In my IDP dynasty league, offensive players can get defensive stats and defensive players can get offensive stats. It's just part of the game, seems fair... a QB can make a tackle to save an INT TD and an LB can catch a TD pass.

Chavez Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 so you count non-verbal TDs? What if he had just gestured for him to score a TD? glad I'm not in your wierd league. "I'm sorry sir, we'll need this touchdown in writing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping King Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm not sure we reward verbal tds in my league. Now if you declared a td then you might have something. Kind of like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efranklin Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) I am in an IDP league and any touchdowns scored by a defensive player counts as 6 points just as if he is an offensive player. Vrabel scored a total of 29 points in my league today because not only did he have a TD but he also had 3 sacks and 11 tackles, which is an insane number of points for a defensive player. Needless to say the owner of Vrabel is kicking ass in his matchup right now. I'm glad I wasn't playing against him today Edited October 29, 2007 by efranklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilfish2 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 So, does your league give the QB a point for making a tackle after a turnover? Another question, in our league we take away 1 point for an INT, Fumble..... If this is rule in your league, say your QB throws the INT, then makes the Tackle....it a wash...doesnt make sense....

The web site that we run our league on does not award him the points, but the comish can go in and add. Our league rules do not cover Def. player scoring on offense... What do you do if a RB lines up as a WR and catches a TD, the same way Vrabel (a DE) lined-up up as a WR? If you award the RB 6 points for the TD catch, you should award the DE 6-points for TD catch.

If this is rule in your league, say your QB throws the INT, then makes the Tackle....it a wash...doesnt make sense.... Well the point system is a little different in my league. You lose 3 points for every INT and a fumble so if the QB throws an INT then makes the tackle he will just be down -2 rather than -3.

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 If this is rule in your league, say your QB throws the INT, then makes the Tackle....it a wash...doesnt make sense.... There was a play last year where a defensive player intercepted the ball, fumbled it while returning it, then tackled the guy who recovered his fumble. The net of the play: 1 point for the defender (+2 -2 +1). It's not unusual for players to get multiple scoring opportunities on the same play.

efranklin Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Wow I just checked the box score and noticed that Vrabel also forced 3 fumbles. That is 9 more points that will be added to his score in my league, giving him 38 total points for the day. That is an absolutely insane number of points for a a defensive player in an IDP league. It would have been nice to have him on my team today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Believe it or not, the TD was not against me.... My apologies. Normally when someone is complaining about a rule that comes into play once in a blue moon, it's because it directly affects them. Still, I think that if you use IDPs and an IDP guy is standing in the end zone on any play from scrimmage, the td should count. As said above, not counting it would be like ignoring rushing tds from QBs/WRs or a td pass from a RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
