Free Agrent[edit]
I'm not an NFL fan so I am only assuming this is a mistake. The text reads...
Free Agrent running back Leon Washington
Is it meant to be "Free Agent"?

Merger proposal[edit]
I propose we merge both kickoff returner and punt returner into this page. While I'm aware that not every punt returner is also a kickoff returner and vice-versa, I think both articles' contents can be explained in this one page. There's really nothing that could be said on either page that couldn't also be said here. Lizard (talk) 22:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- 100% agreed. Just have it the way the safety article is written. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 01:07, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- We should probably go over Template:Gridiron football concepts and trim down on some articles. Was there ever an agreement to make an article for every single football concept? Most of them are stubs. Motion (gridiron football) and Shift (gridiron football) have nearly word-for-word the exact same leads. Lizard (talk) 07:08, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I made the shift article. Motion and shift are pretty distinct, as the person who made the motion article tried to tease out, and I wouldn't think "pre snap movement" deserves an article. A shift changes the formation, a motion is one dude flowing within a formation. You won't ever hear a receiver roaming called a shift, and you won't hear any of the historical shifts listed called a motion. My dogmatism there aside, I agree it should be gone over. I've tried to repair it in various ways. Cake (talk) 10:16, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yeh I know they're different, and I can't really see how to combine them. But if strong safety and free safety aren't notable enough on their own to merit an article, there's a ton that can be knocked out. I mean, Alley Oop (football)? Shoot the gap? Counter trey?

I disagree. You can see in the german Wikipedia, that there are different aspects to tell on both positions.--JTCEPB (talk) 20:07, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
