I have a ton of questions, Sorter. Not because I don't think you know what you're talking about, it's because I don't know what you're talking about.

Some of these questions are on the sub-Blackbobian level of stupidity, so I figure I will be subjected to much ridicule, but I'm willing to risk it. I find this stuff fascinating. I also believe it is very difficult to learn this stuff, or at least takes a great deal of time and determination.

Instead of quoting the whole post, I'll take it in little dumbass sized pieces.

"So, the 1st play of the game was a nice completion to Sanders for 48 yards. The Broncos came out in Detroit personnel (2TE2WR1RB) with a trips to the field."

1. Does the Detroit personnel indicate they are probably going to pass the ball? With only one guy in the backfield, it seems like it. On the other hand, it could mean there are a lot of people out there to block for him.

(I will no doubt have dumber questions than this.)

2. What does "with a trips to the field" mean?

Edit, I looked again and see an H back there with the RB. Halfback? Why isn't the "H" listed in the description of the Detroit personnel? Maybe I'm more confused than I didn't know I was.
