Surely your joking? What do you get points for then, especially for DE's and LB's. Surely it renders guys like Peppers, Ware irrelevant.

Interception Return TD (INTTD) 4
Fumble Return TD (FRTD) 4
Blocked Punt or FG return for TD (BLKKRTD) 4
Blocked Punt, PAT or FG (BLKK) 2
Each Interception (INT) 2
Each Fumble Recovered (FR) 2
Each Safety (SF) 2

Is the defensive scoring I can see. Only scoring for sacks is in team D section. I'll be leaving my D-line to the final round

There appears to be a new rule this year, if you hit Chad Ochocinco in the middle of his route...and Rob Gronkowski makes the catch, it's offensive pass interference

Didn't watch our game but sounds like we got a right battering. Will do us more good than bad though like the game against the Browns last year, shows the players that they aren't as good as they think they are and we have plenty to improve on before the regular season!

You could see a massive difference in how the teams approached the game, the Lions looked like it was a playoff game going 100mph at everything and sending jailbreak blitzes all night....the Patriots were running the vanilla 3-4 with only 4 players rushing most of the night.

Dan Dierdorff came to the conclusion it was because NE left 6 starters at home but it wasn't, it just looked like Detroit actually wanted to win...for some reason.

Although Suh is the dirtiest player in the league, one passage of play in the 2nd quarter: hit Brady with his helmet, got up and pushed Koppen down from behind then threw a punch at Mankins....outcome? Personal foul on Mankins for a facemask.

Suh also started a fight on special teams after a field goal for no reason at all too

Playing tough is fine but he plays like a thug already in his career he's shown it and last night alone there were 2 or 3 occasions where with a crew that actually reffed the game properly would have ejected him.

Having some sort of nasty streak is a good thing on your lines but he needs to tone it down....a lot.

You see you were banging on about Haynesworth and how good he will be for you etc. Noticed you didn't bring up his previous massive discretions. That guys far more of a risk than Suh.

What Haynesworth did to Gurode was a disgrace, I don't think anyone could defend that.

Just read the report of your game last night. No mention of anything untoward about Suh, you sure your not getting a bit overprotective about Brady?
