Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1299421, member: 2585"] Sigh. I know that. You keep assuming that I'm ignorant of basic football common sense. YPA attempt accounts for both long passes and short passes with YAC. So let me revise my statement to cover your "gotcha": 1. Teams don't throw deep as much AND YAC is limited in cold/bad weather (YPA) [B]Home teams[/B] that play in cold weather run the ball better. Road teams do not - it's negligible. He concludes that they can't figure out why home cold weather teams are that much more effective - why road teams are not (unless they are dome teams). They also seem to run better at 50 degrees. But I'm sure that's easily explained by aliens or something. My conclusion stands: It would be smart to have a pass heavy offense as a dome team - but your constant drum beat doesn't match the benefit. Also: You should probably hit the "we need a great FG kicker" more often. That would have about the same benefit. [/QUOTE]
