tbh we deliberately avoid hardcoding that stuff. Maybe in 2023 year Boise hires a run first coach and we would have to redo it. Also it tends to give weird results (like in madden08 if the game generated a rookie QB named Peyton Manning he would call audibles for 35 seconds like his retired namesake because they hardcoded the behavior on the name...). Also, suppose someone creates a mod where army is no longer army, such hardcoding (depending on how we did it) would interfere unduely on their alternate universe. In the future we may add some option in league settings that could handle it, but nothing is on the table right now.
