Week 11 Preview
Giving thanks for this great game we have and how McNeil treats us. Last week, we got to the school and found that the facilities had been rented out for a youth football tournament. One of the coaches came out to talk to us and then went and cleared it with the guys who were running the tournament. He didn't have to take the time to do that but he did and we got to have a game as a result.
If this keeps up, at the end of the year we should put some money together to donate to the school as thanks for their continued tolerance of us.
One thing the coach did ask me was to tell everyone that we can't bring dogs to the field. I explained that Mark and Ethan bring baggies and clean up after them but he did ask that we not bring them out anymore.

Weather Update
Light rain doesn't concern me. Even a steady rain isn't a big worry. Where I get concerned is if its a downpour. Right now, its definitely going to rain, the questions are: when will it start, how much will it drop and how long will it last?
I monitor the weather very closely and as of now, I plan on being there with the gear and would like to play. I had to zoom way, way out to figure out where the precipitation is going to come from. While all the forecasts call for rain moving in in the early morning (2-4 am), the odd thing is that the only precipitation on radar is in Oklahoma and it appears to be moving to the NE. Here are the two scenarios I'm hoping for:
1) The rain stalls a bit and doesn't get here until noon tomorrow (a Thanksgiving football miracle); or
2) The rain comes but isn't that heavy so the ground doesn't turn to soup.
I usually leave for the field before 8:00 because of all the set up and need to stretch. I'll send an email when I leave if it doesn't look good. I would strongly suggest that you update your response with your cell number if I don't have it in case there are any questions.
If it looks good, I'm going out to the field. If anyone wants to get a hold of me to confirm that I'm seriously out there, my cell is XXX-XXX-XXXX.

Red Drive #11
1-9 from the 11: Run by Canadian for 2 yards - stopped by Barry.

1-14 from the 6: Pass by Canadian to Chenault - incomplete. Ball behind.
2-14 from the 6: Pass by Canadian to David for 74 yards and the TD. What a beautiful throw and catch on a fly route.
4 - 1, Yellow.
Yellow Drive #14
1-12 from the 8: Pitch to Jimmy who throws to Nick. Ethan tips it and Josh caught it even though he was a lineman. Mike gets the stop after a two yard gain.
2-10 from the 10: Pass by Nick to Adam for 13 yards - stopped by David.
1-17 from the 23: Pass by Nick to no one, it was thrown away - incomplete. Crazy broken play with tons of back and forth running.

5 - 3, Yellow.
Yellow Drive #16
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Curtis for 35 yards - stopped by David. David saves the TD.
1-17 from the 37: Pass by Nick to Adam for 37 yards and the TD. Nick makes this play work by rolling hard to the right to draw the defenders to him. He sets up and throws deep to Adam who is running a fly route with single coverage on the left.
6 - 3, Yellow.
Red Drive #16
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Canadian to Ethan for 31 yards - stopped by Barry. Perhaps the catch of the game having to bend over backwards adjusting to the ball. Amazing that they're throwing at Barry still.

1-15 from the 35: Pass by Canadian to Ethan for 22 yards - stopped by Adam.

Final Score: 6-3, Yellow.
Passing Stats:
Great day for QBs even if we did have 11 (count them, 11!) interceptions. Canadian passed for 376 yards, 3 TDs and had a 45.24% completion rate! The only problem he had this week was that Nick passed for 439 yards, 6 TDs and had a 47.27% completion rate (each QB also had 1 pass dropped).
Receiving/Rushing Stats:
This was really a hard luck week for Red. Red had 3 receivers with over 100 yards - led by David with 157 and followed by Jesse and Ethan with 105 and 102, respectively. A team with three 100 yard receivers in our game should mean a win. David led with 2 TDs and Jesse had the other one. Ethan was the go-to guy for Red with 9 catches on 13 targets and 2 rushes.
Yellow didn't have 3 hundred yard players but Curtis had 2 TDs and 96 yards. Brandon and Day each at a TD as well. But it was Adam who had the biggest day with 221 yards and 2 TDs. 10 Receptions on 15 targets and only one drop (long time since that's happened). Game of the Elders.
Defensive Stats:
If you read the play-by-play, you know who played big this week on defense. Barry had 5 picks (one ill-advised, admitedly) and 3 defensed passes along with 2 flags. Hell of a defensive game - one of the best ever. Nick and Jimmy each had a pick as well and Jimmy had 6 flags and a defensed pass. Curtis had 2 defensed passes. Brandon came up with a defensed pass and 6 flags. Adam's 6 flags are worth a bit more considering he mostly played linebacker and thus was not in direct coverage much.
For Yellow, David's game was nearly as big as Barry's: 6 flags, 4 defensed passes, and 3 picks. Ethan also had a defensed pass and a sack. Jessy had a defnesed pass and a pick. Canadian's 8 flags and 2 passes defensed were also big.
MVP: This was a lot harder than you might think. Nick may have been chanting "MVP" for Adam all game but look at what we had in this game: three 100 yard receivers for the same team, a defender with 5 picks, 2 QBs combining for over 800 yards of offense. Seriously, I don't think we've ever had the number of exceptional individual performances in one game before.
I had to go back to transciption and look at how the big plays impacted the game. Three of Barry's picks were made when Red was inside the 20, threatening to score. If you take away those three picks, Red might have scored several more times - probably not 3 times but it is a factor.
Meanwhile, nearly all of Adam's yards came on drives that resulted in scores. He had 10 catches and 5 of them were for 1st downs and 2 were for TDs.
I've said that the MVP should go to the player (or players) who had the most dominant game (and preferably a balanced game with strong offense and defense). This week, I'm going to award the MVP to Adam.
Warning, I LOVE 7-7/8-8 GAMES.

This was really a hard luck week for Red. Red had 3 receivers with over 100 yards - led by David with 157 and followed by Jesse and Ethan with 105 and 102, respectively. A team with three 100 yard receivers in our game should mean a win. David led with 2 TDs and Jesse had the other one. Ethan was the go-to guy for Red with 9 catches on 13 targets and 2 rushes.
Yellow didn't have 3 hundred yard players but Curtis had 2 TDs and 96 yards. Brandon and Day each at a TD as well. But it was Adam who had the biggest day with 221 yards and 2 TDs. 10 Receptions on 15 targets and only one drop (long time since that's happened). Game of the Elders.

If you read the play-by-play, you know who played big this week on defense. Barry had 5 picks (one ill-advised, admitedly) and 3 defensed passes along with 2 flags. Hell of a defensive game - one of the best ever. Nick and Jimmy each had a pick as well and Jimmy had 6 flags and a defensed pass. Curtis had 2 defensed passes. Brandon came up with a defensed pass and 6 flags. Adam's 6 flags are worth a bit more considering he mostly played linebacker and thus was not in direct coverage much.
For Yellow, David's game was nearly as big as Barry's: 6 flags, 4 defensed passes, and 3 picks. Ethan also had a defensed pass and a sack. Jessy had a defnesed pass and a pick. Canadian's 8 flags and 2 passes defensed were also big.
MVP: This was a lot harder than you might think. Nick may have been chanting "MVP" for Adam all game but look at what we had in this game: three 100 yard receivers for the same team, a defender with 5 picks, 2 QBs combining for over 800 yards of offense. Seriously, I don't think we've ever had the number of exceptional individual performances in one game before.
I had to go back to transciption and look at how the big plays impacted the game. Three of Barry's picks were made when Red was inside the 20, threatening to score. If you take away those three picks, Red might have scored several more times - probably not 3 times but it is a factor.
Meanwhile, nearly all of Adam's yards came on drives that resulted in scores. He had 10 catches and 5 of them were for 1st downs and 2 were for TDs.
I've said that the MVP should go to the player (or players) who had the most dominant game (and preferably a balanced game with strong offense and defense). This week, I'm going to award the MVP to Adam.

2-5 from the 25: Run by Cain for 1 yards - stopped by Chenault.
3-4 from the 24: Pass by Cain to Street - incomplete. Bad throw. Nearly caught by David for the pick but it was such a bad throw that I can't give credit for the defensed pass (the receiver had no chance at it even if David had been nowhere in the area).

Game called 4-1, Yellow.
Passing Stats:
Wow, even with 2 picks, Nick had a huge day with a 62.07% completion percentage, 4 TDs and 262 yards. You can discount one of the picks a bit because Travis hit Nick's arm during the throw (not to take anything away from Cain who still had to go up and make the catch). Cain and Leo were not helped by 4 drops by their players (Adam owes Leo, particularly accounting for both dropped passes).
Receiving/Rushing Stats:
Canadian leads receivers with 80 yards. Cain had 85 yards but 29 came on rushes while he was QB. David also had a huge day with 77 yards and a TD. Our TD leader today was Jeremy with 2 and 45 yards. Had to also like Mark with 42 yards and a TD. Brecht had the one huge play that with another smaller catch was worth a total of 56 yards.
Defensive Stats:
If it weren't for 2 sacks, Adam's day would have been a total loss. Cain had 2 picks. Canadian, Street, and Travis each had a defensed pass (Travis also having a sack). Curtis came up big for yellow with 4 defensed passes 2 of which probably saved TDs. Jeremy had a pick and a sack.
MVP - There wasn't a single dominant performance today (at least not one on both offense and defense). Jeremy had the 2 TDs, a pick, a sack and was so dangerous as safety that Red had to account for him on every play. However, the bigger reason that Yellow won the game, in my opinion, was Nick's performance. 60% completion is huge in any game but in a 9 on 9 game, that's big time play, especially with 262 yards passsing and 14.56 average yards. Congrats to Nick.

Yellow Drive #5
1-10 from the 30: Pass by Nick to Burleson for 13 yards - stopped by Cain.

3-Goal from the 5: Pass by Cain to Leo - dropped.
4-Goal from the 5: Pass by Cain to Street for 5 yards and the TD. Worth noting is that this down
was replayed because on the previous play (which didn't count) there was a jump ball to Street where he might have been forced out in the endzone. It was honestly a tough call because he was blanketed by 2 defenders and there is no real line.
2 - 1, Yellow.

2-5 from the 25: Run by Cain for 1 yards - stopped by Chenault.
3-4 from the 24: Pass by Cain to Street - incomplete. Bad throw. Nearly caught by David for the pick but it was such a bad throw that I can't give credit for the defensed pass (the receiver had no chance at it even if David had been nowhere in the area).

Wow, even with 2 picks, Nick had a huge day with a 62.07% completion percentage, 4 TDs and 262 yards. You can discount one of the picks a bit because Travis hit Nick's arm during the throw (not to take anything away from Cain who still had to go up and make the catch). Cain and Leo were not helped by 4 drops by their players (Adam owes Leo, particularly accounting for both dropped passes).

If it weren't for 2 sacks, Adam's day would have been a total loss. Cain had 2 picks. Canadian, Street, and Travis each had a defensed pass (Travis also having a sack). Curtis came up big for yellow with 4 defensed passes 2 of which probably saved TDs. Jeremy had a pick and a sack.
MVP - There wasn't a single dominant performance today (at least not one on both offense and defense). Jeremy had the 2 TDs, a pick, a sack and was so dangerous as safety that Red had to account for him on every play. However, the bigger reason that Yellow won the game, in my opinion, was Nick's performance. 60% completion is huge in any game but in a 9 on 9 game, that's big time play, especially with 262 yards passsing and 14.56 average yards. Congrats to Nick.

Yellow Drive #7
1-16 from the 36: Run by Canadian for 20 yards - stopped by Ray. This was a busted run left with a reverse of field to get positive yards to the right.

4-8 from the 32: Pass by Nick to intercepted by Day - stopped by Day.
Yellow Drive #10
1-1 from the 21: Pass by Street to Adam for 21 yards and the TD. There was a question at the end of the play because Adam spun and stiff-armed Nick on his elbow but elbow and up is legal for a stiff-arm.
5 - 2, Yellow.
Red Drive #10
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Ray for 72 yards and the TD. Deep throw into double coverage and Ray makes the catch. He then manages to make both cover guys miss him despite needing another 20 yards. Longest play of the game.
5 - 3, Yellow.

7 - 4, Yellow.
Passing Stats:
Street's 50% completion rating was pretty darn nice, particulary since he had receivers drop 2 of his passes. 4 TDs and only one pick are pretty nice too. Nick had some problems with the ball going to the other team but he still finished with 290 yards. The 3 sacks show you how much pressure he was under.
Receiving/Rushing Stats:
Even if you take away Ray's 72 yarder, he still would have had nearly 100 yards! 2 TDs were also nice. We actually had 2 guys with more than 100 yards. Canadian had 109 yards on 4 catches and 2 rushes. Jesse had 88 yards and a TD. Curtis had 81 yards and a TD. Adam demonstrated why he likes smaller games with 79 yards and 2 TDs. Travis may not have had the yards but they kept taking him into the endzone with 3 TDs. Even in a game with only 12 players, 3 TDs is a big deal.
Defensive Stats:
Canadian had 4 defensed pases and a pick. Street had 1 defensed pass, a sack, and 2 picks (one returned for a TD). Day had a pick, a defensed pass and a sack. Jesse had 3 defensed passes and Barry had 2 defensed passes and 2 picks. Normally flags aren've really thought of as a big stat but Ray had 11 (and no, they we're all from "his man"). To put it in perspective, the rest of the red team put together only had 9 flags.
MVP: I know that people hate it when I give the award to a player on the losing team but my idea of MVP it first goes to the player with the most dominating performance. The guy who was totally on and who was simply unstoppable. By that standard, the award goes to Ray. His 166 yards of offense with 2 TDs and flying around getting flags like he was huge. So many of his catches were in double coverage and he still came up with them. Congrats to Ray. Had Ray not had merely an average day, the award would have gone to Street or Travis.

3-Goal from the 1: Run by Biscuits for 1 yards and the TD. Adam got in the backfield cleanly but missed the flag.

| Street | 18 | 2 | 36 | 50.00% | 208 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Street's 50% completion rating was pretty darn nice, particulary since he had receivers drop 2 of his passes. 4 TDs and only one pick are pretty nice too. Nick had some problems with the ball going to the other team but he still finished with 290 yards. The 3 sacks show you how much pressure he was under.

Even if you take away Ray's 72 yarder, he still would have had nearly 100 yards! 2 TDs were also nice. We actually had 2 guys with more than 100 yards. Canadian had 109 yards on 4 catches and 2 rushes. Jesse had 88 yards and a TD. Curtis had 81 yards and a TD. Adam demonstrated why he likes smaller games with 79 yards and 2 TDs. Travis may not have had the yards but they kept taking him into the endzone with 3 TDs. Even in a game with only 12 players, 3 TDs is a big deal.

Canadian had 4 defensed pases and a pick. Street had 1 defensed pass, a sack, and 2 picks (one returned for a TD). Day had a pick, a defensed pass and a sack. Jesse had 3 defensed passes and Barry had 2 defensed passes and 2 picks. Normally flags aren've really thought of as a big stat but Ray had 11 (and no, they we're all from "his man"). To put it in perspective, the rest of the red team put together only had 9 flags.
MVP: I know that people hate it when I give the award to a player on the losing team but my idea of MVP it first goes to the player with the most dominating performance. The guy who was totally on and who was simply unstoppable. By that standard, the award goes to Ray. His 166 yards of offense with 2 TDs and flying around getting flags like he was huge. So many of his catches were in double coverage and he still came up with them. Congrats to Ray. Had Ray not had merely an average day, the award would have gone to Street or Travis.
