Pirate Talk

Those that have been with us a while know how this is done. Essentially,

1. Each game, you pick one player ("gamebreaker") that you think will eclipse his season average in terms of yards if he's an offensive player, or tackles if he's a defender.
*For example, last year, Dominique Davis' average yards passing per game was 268 yards, so if he he was still on the team this year, you might say he throws for 310 yards or more and two touchdowns. As long as he were to hit above the 268 mark, you get the win. Same with defensive players, as long as they eclipse their average tackle mark.
2. You can't pick the same player twice in one season.
3. This year, we are adding that if the offensive player you pick (outside of the starting quarterback) scores a touchdown, then you picked a correct gamebreaker since no one on the team will likely average more than a touchdown per game except a quarterback (in this case, Rio Johnson is off limits for the touchdown rule, but is definitely open for the yards pick in week one).
The same will apply for a defensive player in that if he forces a fumble, recovers a fumble, intercepts a pass, or gets a sack you automatically win regardless of his tackle total.
4. Everyone that participates in the thread MUST vote up each person's post that picks a correct gamebreaker. I'll make a list after the game of everyone that won for you guys to use.

Make sense?
