I'm not opposed to you having a different opinion, just saying my research shows it's completely random, as is the return yardage on those INTs. LBs, both MLB and OLB have the greatest chance at INTs simply because they cover more areas on average over the course of most games and for the season. CBs are next and FS/SS are last. The quantity of INTs overall by position support this theory. Because we are dealing with randomness, we are certainly able to find skewed results, which is why it's important to cross-check multiple teams and multiple seasons for the most accurate representation of randomess. and what im saying is that position in that formation gets most ints

Yes, you are correct, randomly speaking in those games, but it is just a slight percentage difference over the course of 4 seasons worth of data. In a few games or even one team for one season, it's close enough to easily skew the results. When you take all the results for all the teams over several seasons, it's easily evident that it's completely random and not much difference on who is getting the INTs. The data is further skewed when teams go with one safety and 4 or even 5 LBs. Those players just get shifted in the game engine to cover zones that would be covered by multiple safety sets. Same with 4 CBs, 3 FS/SS, etc. From a standard set of 3 LBs, 2 CBs and 2 FSs (removing all data from alternate sets), the percentage break down over 4 seasons came to 44%, 38% and 18% respectively. With all that said, this same data, when compared across the 10 teams, the totals from season to season, further indicate that INTs are completely random. No one team dominated INTs every season, either offensively speaking or defensively. Also there are examples of multiple INTs in games by all of the positions noted above. While those percentages sound high, even LBs at 44% of about 1.2% gives LBs about a .5% chance to get an INT in any one game

Meanwhile, my Valhalla version continues to be susceptible to injuries because my rebuild was so fast I never had time to build much depth. Great starters mostly now, but not many starting caliber backups at key positions, and my payroll is ballooning as it is. Don't want to sound like I'm whining, but after all this time on GI I still wonder how some of the top teams consistently carry 1.5 to 2 million dollar payrolls. It's a real credit to teams like the Gators and Hakers (tm) that they're able to keep pulling it off season after season.

Wow, BadCo is up by 3 TD's over the Vikes at halftime, I never expected that!
With the difference in stamina, I'll need all 21 of those points in the 2nd half if I have a prayer of holding off the inevitable comeback.

BadCo's young QB says wait just a second, we aren't done yet, and leads his team down for a TD to go back up 35-14 on the Vikings!

Benson with another TD for Bad Company to push the lead back up to 21... 42-21

Benson with another TD for Bad Company to push the lead back up to 21... 42-21 Huge stop by the BadCo defense. Benson is driving his team down field again. If the Company goes up by 28 with 8 minutes to go, it could be bad news for the Vikings!

Vikings get the stop but they only have 5 minutes to make up a 21 point deficit!
