First of all there is no way to stop 15 guys from scoring on any given play. Think of the number of laterals that each play would involve. This would entail Vick running back and forth across the field and this would tire him out so much that he would either not be able to run around after 15 minutes, or would have to let Team Hal score every time to save his energy for offense. On defense I find it hard to believe that he could avoid 15 guys. Obviously he isn't going to throw it any great distance to himself, so that leaves like 12 guys on the line. If he gets to do the shotgun it gives him a little chance, but if he starts on the line he has to run 10 yards back to have any chance of getting around the line. His only chance would be to run 30 yards back and run around to tire everyone out on side to side pursuits, which wouldn't work too badly. But assuming that Team Hal has any discipline not to leave gaps, they could corner him without too much effort, I would hope. I don't think there would be too much trouble tackling him, assuming help was only a couple yards away. <BR/>Bottom line Team Hal wins by a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15482952.post-1132780512063304432005-11-23T17:15:00.000-04:002005-11-23T17:15:00.000-04:00I say we win the coin toss, take the kick off back...I say we win the coin toss, take the kick off back for a touchdown, and give him the ball on offense. First play, he runs wild and picks up 65 yards. Second play, he gets blindsided, hurts his knee and is done for the season. Back up Matt Schaub then comes in and throws the deep ball to himself and defeats us soundly.Armandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535650472820606085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15482952.post-1132759653232638102005-11-23T11:27:00.000-04:002005-11-23T11:27:00.000-04:00Has anyone ever taken into account the fatigue fac...Has anyone ever taken into account the fatigue factor that would set in? Being tackled by 15 guys on every play would wear anyone down, especially an injury prone QB.<BR/><BR/>Hal, unless your 14 teammates are spawns of corky from the "facts of life," you should be able to easily beat Vick. Now if it was a much larger athletic freak, like say Jevon Kearse, it could be a different story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15482952.post-1132756131557494022005-11-23T10:28:00.000-04:002005-11-23T10:28:00.000-04:00I see zach's points, but I still think Team Hal (o...I see zach's points, but I still think Team Hal (or any group of walking, once reasonable athletes) would be modest favorites. Vick will lose, because football is a lot about having bodies in the right places, which would inevitably happen a lot when you have 10 open guys on every play (I figure Vick can cover 5 at once). However, he would be hard as hell to prevent from moving the ball. Obviously, 15 will pull him down, but not before 3+ yard gains, giving him a methodical marching offense. Plus, think about how many bad throws, dropped passes, and fumbles you expect in your local thanksgiving day pick-up football game. Now picture the same group of pick-up players listening for Michael Vick's footsteps. I'd call it Team Hal (-7) over Vick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
