Game starts 9 on 9 - 4 man line and 4 eligibles and 3 substitutions - what crap.

Red: Chenault, Chris, Day, Drew, Ethan, Game Crasher Red, Jesse, Mark, Robert, Steven, Street, and Treadaway

Yellow: Barry, Burleson, Game Crasher Yellow, Josh, Kuzi, Levonce, Martin, Matta, Mike, Nick, Tim, and Washington


Yellow Drive #1
1-12 from the 8: Run by Nick for 1 yards - stopped by Chris.
2-11 from the 9: Pass by Nick to Martin for 9 yards - stopped by going out of bounds.
3-2 from the 18: Run by Nick for 14 yards - stopped by Treadaway.
1-8 from the 32: Pass by Nick to Burleson - incomplete. Possible miscommunication. Nick threw a fly and Burleson posted in about 20 yards down field (after the ball had been thrown).
2-8 from the 32: Pass by Nick to Burleson for 7 yards - stopped by Jesse.
3-1 from the 39: Pass by Nick to Josh defensed by Street - incomplete. Great play by Street. He starts out to the QB's right. QB on hike rolls left hard. Street is pursuing from the snap. Just as Nick is throwing the ball, Street reaches in and slaps the ball away.
4-1 from the 39: Pass by Nick to Josh for 19 yards - stopped by Chris. Josh was completely uncovered.
1-2 from the 22: Pass by Nick to Burleson - incomplete. Ball is long but Burleson was open on a slant from right to left and the ball was thrown towards the left corner of the endzone. Burleson had a step on coverage and was inside where his body would block the defender out of the play.
2-2 from the 22: Pass by Nick to Josh intercepted by Street - stopped by Mike.

Red Drive #1
1-7 from the 13: Pass by Street to Mark - incomplete. Ball overthrown.
2-7 from the 13: Pass by Street to Jesse for 12 yards - stopped by Kuzi.
1-15 from the 25: Pass by Street to Treadaway for 5 yards - stopped by Barry.
2-10 from the 30: Run by Street for 21 yards - stopped by Matta. QB Keeper, nice blocking.
1-9 from the 29: Pass by Street to Jesse - incomplete. Ball behind Jesse, should have been picked by Kuzi since the ball hit him in the hands.
2-9 from the 29: Run by Mark for -2 yards - stopped by Josh. Jesse comes in motion on Set and takes the pitch. Jesse hands back to Mark going the other way. Josh blew up a block to make the flag. Great play.
3-11 from the 31: Run by Street for 18 yards - stopped by Martin. Play looked like it was supposed to be a pass play but Street ended up keeping it and making one guy miss prior to getting stopped.
1-Goal from the 13: Sack of Street by Josh for -10 yards. Play was supposed to be an out to Treadaway but he fell down and Street pulled the ball down before throwing it.
2-Goal from the 23: Pass by Street to Chris for 8 yards - stopped by going out of bounds.
3-Goal from the 15: Pass by Street to Mark - incomplete.
4-Goal from the 15: Pass by Street to Jesse for 15 yards and the TD. Jesse runs and "in-out Z". It appears that Jesse's cover guy blitzed and Jesse was able to get the Safety who picked him up turned around with the Z route.

1 - 0, Red.

Yellow Drive #2
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Kuzi intercepted by Street - stopped by Kuzi. Kuzi forced the ball free to stop Tom. There was some controversy here. Teams were divided on the play and asked my opinion. I said that I saw a catch + a football move which makes it a pick.

Red Drive #2
1-12 from the 32: Pass by Street to Steven - incomplete. Ball just out of reach.
2-12 from the 32: Pass by Street to Drew for 32 yards and the TD. Nice play by Street - he fakes a QB run and then pulls up to throw the ball. Drew's coverman missed the flag which allowed Drew to take it in for the TD. 2 - 0, Red.

4-7 from the 33: Punt.

Yellow Drive #4
1-15 from the 5: Flea flicker - Handoff to Burleson who pitches back to Nick but the pitch is short and the ball lands dead in the endzone for a safety. I can sypathize having been involved in a similar play last year.

Red Drive #4
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Street to Drew defensed by Nick - incomplete. Nick tipped it up and tipped it twice more trying to bring it in but the first tip sent the ball a little behind him and he was never able to get more than one hand on the ball and that only at his fingertips.

Street had a great game - particularly when you consider that QBs in this game were throwing to 11 different guys and 4 on each team were new or had only played once before. Add to that the fact that with 12 players on filling 8 non-QB slots, the QBs were constantly having a different mix of players on the field AND the fact that the teams were not color-coordinated and you should be impressed with his performance. I am.

Giant games with too many players tend to mean that no one has a dominant game as a receiver or at least they don't have the kind of numbers that we're used to. Drew led with 77 yards on 3 catches with a TD and 2 first downs. The next three leading yard gainers were all QBs getting yards on scrambles amd runs: Street with 69 and Nick & Burleson with 55 each (which included a reception of 3 and 7 yards respectively). Mark may not have had the yards but he got 2 TDs with his 21 yards. Jesse and Ethan each had a TD.

Big games usually are defensive struggles and this game had its share of big defensive plays. Drew, Ethan and Street each had 2 defensed passes and Street had 3 picks on top of that. Day, Jesse, and Nick each had a defensed pass as well. Rober, Gate Crasher Yellow and Josh each had sacks and Mark had a pick. Barry was leading tackler with 5 and Jesse, Martin, Street, Kuzi, and Washington each had 4 flags.

MVP:
While I have decided to create a Fantasy Flag Football points system for the game, I don't need it this week. Mark had a very nice game for so many players with a pick and 2 TDs but the prize goes to Street who had huge days on both defense and offense.
