When we got to the field, we found a nasty surprised: the fields were closed. We ended up having to play on a rocky, slightly downhill patch that was required a smaller field. The field was narrower and about 60 yards long (rather than 75). There was a tree in a corner of one endzone and trees reaching over the sideline at the 25.
Game is 8 on 8 with a 3 man line.
Yellow Drive #1
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Burleson to Adam - dropped. Worth mentioning here is that Adam is playing in a cast on his right hand that immobilizes his thumb and wrist.
2-12 from the 8: Pass by Burleson to Adam for 52 yards and the TD. Little crossing pattern at 5 yards, 1 stiff arm and reverse of field opened created a lot of space. Louis makes a great downfield block that allows Adam to score.

Scott had a great defensive day with 7 flags and a defensed pass. Luis also had a big day with 5 flags and a pick. Troy's 5 flags and Casey's 2 sacks were pretty big). Chris had 4 flags and a big sack. But David clearly had the best defensive day with 4 defensed passes and 2 picks.
MVP:
Tough one, Burleson had the 6 TDs but didn't do anything on defense. The choice is really between Adam and David. Adam had a bigger day on offense and was playing handicapped but David had a bigger day on defense. In addition, a lot of Adam's offensive yards came on one big play and half of that play was the result of a great downfield block by Louis. If you leave out those yards and factor in David's return yards after picks, he gets MVP of the Season Finale.
MVT (Most Valuable Teammate):
Special award goes to Chenault because after the collision at the end, Jason was the one who took care of both Chris and especially David - going to the store to pick up first aid supplies and making sure he was okay. My personal thanks to Jason for his actions. Its good to know there is someone out there who can handle blood because its definitely not me.
