[edit] Formatting of Depth Chart
It seems somewhat schizophrenic and I'm not sure exactly what it should look like. Ordering positions by number (which seems to be currently prevailing), or something I would consider more useful, such as by team (1st, 2nd 3rd, etc.). Along with that should players be grouped by position, FBs with the FBs, Left Corners with the LCBs. How far that should be resolved WR1 1st team, WR1 2nd team? I just copied the roster off Seahawks.com, which is quite a bit more complete than other sources I've seen, sorted it and semi-automagically marked it up for the wiki with Open Office. So I'd like to add that, but I'd like to do it in a way that conforms to some sort of predetermined standard so I don't just make a mess and look like a dumbass.
Went a head and added the names. The players are clustered together according to the latest depth chart. So Free Safties are with Free Safties, even if they're listed as Strong Safties on the roster, or their profile. Babinuex is apparently the 3 LCB (probably 1st Nickle), but is listed as a SS. I decided to do it in case anyone wanted to do anything with it prior to a forthcoming discussion. But I did it seperate from the earlier revision undoing all the deleted names so that it would also be easy to undo should the desire arise. Hopefully, no one will be too annoyed. --Insancipitory 13:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Something to consider with the Roster template. How do people feel about adding the number of years a veteran has been playing, or R for rookies after a player's name? Gets rid of the asterisk, adds more information, of some merit, on everyone. When I do the next update, probably the 53 man roster, I was thinking about adding that. Height and weight could also be added. --Insancipitory 23:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
depth charts are almost impossible to display completely accurately because players back up multiple positions and can be shifted around into many, many lineups depending on who gets injured. the way that i think works best is to list the positions on the team as rows and have columns for first, second and third stringers, choosing one position for each player. this is the way that yahoo does their depth charts. if we could come up with a sweet table design that makes that look pretty i'd vote for it. btw, i'm all for adding years to the depth chart instead of the rookie asterisk. height and weight are not as important imho. --Tschroeder 22:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'll add the years next time I digest the Seahawks roster (cut to 53 men) Number of years for veterans, R for rookies. If anyone wants to do anything to identify veterans who are new to the Seahawks Burleson, Peterson, et al, I'm open to suggestions. Though, left to my own devices I wouldn't bother.--Insancipitory 07:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
