			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With such a long absence, it&#8217;s not always easy to get back at it, but fortunately, the FOTB  found inspiration in Chip Kelly and his new position, <a href="http://myespn.go.com/blogs/pac10/0-11-112/At-Oregon---tazer--spot-offers-options.html" target="_blank">the TZR (Tazer)</a>. In honor of Kelly&#8217;s creativity, FOTB unveils her ideas for some innovative positions of her own. Chip, if you&#8217;re reading, royalties can be paid via PayPal. Thank you. Special thanks to friend of the blog Nate for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bVa6jn4rpE" target="_blank">headline</a>.</p>
<p>(If yer&#8217; new round&#8217; these parts, get yourself <a href="http://www.offthepond.net/topics/fiance-of-the-blog" target="_blank">familiar with FOTB</a>).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>DR (The Doctor), <em>Deep Receiver</em></strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #993366;">FOTB:</span> </strong>He goes long. Just what the doctor ordered. It&#8217;s basically a wide receiver but a way cooler name. When people say, &#8220;What position are you? he says, &#8216;I&#8217;m the doctor!&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>QTERB (Quiet Rabbit), <em>Quarterback/Tight End/Running Back</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB: </strong></span>It&#8217;s a tight end who can throw and run. You can put both the QB and the Quiet Rabbit in at the same time and you just don&#8217;t know. He&#8217;s sneaky like the tortoise and the hare&#8230;well the hare didn&#8217;t win.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong> </span>(She&#8217;s doing the talking without the thinking, I have no idea how this is like the tortoise and the hare).<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> Basically, he&#8217;s a QB like we have now that can run and throw, but also can block. Since he&#8217;s on the D List and not the A List, he can get injured and you don&#8217;t have to worry about it as much. (OTP: I&#8217;m so lost).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TGR (Tiger), <em>Tackle Guard Rover</em></strong></span><span style="color: #993366;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP: </strong></span>What does he do?<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> Well, he tackles, he guards and he roves.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> (Basically, she has no idea about any of these positions, but managed to make something called Tiger)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>RBOT (Robot), <em>Running Back/Offensive Tackle</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong> </span>I don&#8217;t get the whole lining up thing, but maybe you can just hut the ball to the side.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> Like a direct snap to the running back?<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> No! The Robot lines up on the line and gets the ball passed on the side.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> I don&#8217;t think you can do that.<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong> </span>I don&#8217;t know how this all works. I told you! You said just make up positions and don&#8217;t worry about rules.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>DRG (Dragon) <em>Double Right Guard</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> I don&#8217;t know what a right guard is.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP: </strong></span>Well, what does the Dragon do?<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> I don&#8217;t know&#8230;what the right guard does times two? He&#8217;s a dragon because he&#8217;s huge. He&#8217;s twice the size like a double cheeseburger&#8230;twice the meat.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>CBR (Cobra) <em>Cornerback Rover</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong> </span>Our corners always need a little extra help so the cobra snakes the field and helps. I guess it&#8217;s like a safety but a cooler name.</p>
<div id="attachment_898" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 124px"><img class="size-full wp-image-898" title="The Hammer Play" src="http://www.offthepond.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hammer.jpg" alt="Apparently, you connect the dots between lineman, throw the HB and RB in the backfield and you have a HaMMeR." width="114" height="96" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Apparently, you connect the dots between linemen, throw the HB and RB in the backfield and you have a HaMMeR.</p></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>HMMR (Hammer) <em>Uh, no idea. FOTB?</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> I really want this position but I don&#8217;t know what positions to use for the M. You could have the offensive line make the two m&#8217;s.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> Huh?<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB: </strong></span>(Furiously draws a diagram and thrusts it in front of me. You be the judge as I attempted to recreate this drawing)<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> You have your H-back, running back and the whole offensive line. It&#8217;s more of a play than a position, like it&#8217;s hammer time. Hahahaha. Ah, that&#8217;s sad.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP: </strong></span>(She&#8217;s just laughing at herself and apparently MC Hammer).<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> What kind of play do you run?<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> I don&#8217;t do the plays, it&#8217;s just a lineup and I wanted the Hammer.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SR2 (sounds like, es are squared) <em>Skinny Receiver Rover</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> He cuts up the middle, works the inside, between the O-line. He goes skinny, not wide.</p>
<hr /><span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> So, do you think your positions can make the big time?<br />
<span style="color: #ff99cc;"><strong><span style="color: #993366;">FOTB:</span> </strong></span>Of couse, I came up with a marketing scheme for this, too. Teams should name a position after the station they play on. You could have CBS, ESPN, FSN, TBS, ABC. It&#8217;s genius. Who&#8217;s not gonna&#8217; put them on TV with that?<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> Some examples?<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> CBS, you have the Cornerback Safety.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP: </strong></span>You could do TBS for the Tailback Safety.<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong></span> What?!? You didn&#8217;t tell me there&#8217;s a tailback!<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP:</strong></span> Well, I don&#8217;t know what a tailback safety could do because one is offense, one is defense.<br />
(some pondering)<br />
<span style="color: #ff99cc;"><strong><span style="color: #993366;">FOTB:</span> </strong></span>So listen to this. The tailback can be on defense to run back interceptions. That&#8217;s his job, to run back interceptions.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP: </strong></span>Oh, duh.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff99cc;"><strong><span style="color: #993366;">FOTB:</span> </strong></span>I wish I could do a Wizard position.<br />
<span style="color: #808000;"><strong>OTP: </strong></span>Well, you could use Wingback&#8230;<br />
<span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FOTB:</strong> </span>What!?!?! (she looks bewildered). You didn&#8217;t tell me that either! There&#8217;s a wingback? Does it fly? Oh man, I should have known about this. Make sure you tell everyone you didn&#8217;t give me the cool positions. You only gave me standard ones.</p>
<p><em>Note: OTP is a family blog and would not allow the Center Nose Tackle position to take root here. </em></p>
