3-26 from the 14: Pass by Nick to Chenault for 16 yards - stopped by Hippie. Clifton was able to tip the ball while rushing but it didn't affect the pass enough to prevent the catch.
4-10 from the 30: Pass by Nick to Chenault - picked by Hippie. Chenault calls PI because his leg got tangled up with another player though there was considerable belief that there was no way he could have jumped high enough to get the overthrown ball. Down is replayed.

1-13 from the 33: Pass by Nick to Louis - incomplete. Ball well overthrown.
2-13 from the 33: Pass by Nick to Louis for 6 yards - stopped by Marcus.
3-7 from the 27: Pass by Nick to Teo for 19 yards - stopped by going out of bounds.

1-Goal from the 8: Pass by Nick to no one, it was thrown away - incomplete. Flea-flicker. Play was supposed to be a draw to Chenault. Chenault didn't like the blocking so he pitched back to the QB but the pressure was on and Nick threw it away. Worth noting is that there was some discussion about whether it was Intentional Grounding - Nic was well within the pocket. For those of you who don't remember last year, we decided that Intentional Grounding should be treated like a sack because it only happens when the defense has bottled up the QB and likely would have gotten a sack at that spot. Biscuits stated that with the flea-flicker, grounding is allowed. HOWEVER, I CAN FIND NOTHING IN THE NFL RULES (YES, I OWN THEM) THAT SAYS THAT GROUNDING IS PERMITED IN THIS SITUATION. HENCEMORE, UNLESS SOMEONE CAN SHOW ME NFL RULES TO THE CONTRARY, GROUNDING RULES WILL BE ENFORCED EVEN WITH A FLEA-FLICKER OR HALF-BACK OPTION.
2-Goal from the 8: Run by Nick for 2 yards - stopped by Aaron.
3-Goal from the 6: Pass by Nick to Chenault - incomplete. Pretty good coverage.
4-Goal from the 6: Offsides called and the down was replayed.
4-Goal from the 6: Pass by Nick to Louis for 5 yards - stopped by Adam. Trips left. Louis runs the out under the other two. Adam reads the play but can't prevent the catch and settles for preventing the TD. Turnover on downs.

2-17 from the 3: Pass by Leo to Jimmy - incomplete. Couldn't get two feet in on a fade.

Couple of very nice defensive games, however. Adam had 3 defensed passes and 6 flags (only 1 or 2 as a corner). Jessie had 2 flags, 2 defensed passes, and a pick. Hippie had 6 flags, 2 sacks, a defensed pass, and a pick. Hill had 2 sacks too. Leo had a defensed pass and pick to go with a couple flags. On Yellow, Chenault had the biggest day with 3 sacks (one for a safety), a heads up pick for a TD, and an extra flag in the mix. However Street's 2 flags, 2 defensed passes and 2 picks and Kuzi's defensed pass and 2 picks were also very good. Can't forget Chris with 2 defensed passes (one which turned into Chenault's pick/TD) and a sack and Louis had a defensed pass and a pick as well and then Barry made a nice play for the safety after a pick by Leo.

MVP: Tough this week. Chenault had a huge game on defense and a decent game on offense. Kuzi had the bigger game on offense and still a very big game on defense. They are the two main candidates. They both had 2 rushes for about 10 yards (10 for Chenault, 11 for Kuzi). They were both passed to 4 times and had 2 receptions and though Kuzi had more yards and a TD - Chenault is slow so what do you expect? Besides he did get the defensive TD to offset Kuzi's TD advantage on offense. On defense, Kuzi had 3 impact plays and Chenault had 4 so the extra impact play by Chenault on defense makes up for the lower yards on offense.

This is as close to a perfect tie as I can imagine and thus we have a tie between Kuzi and Chenault for this week's MVP award.
