Great throw to Kuzi on a fly way down field but Cain comes leaping in from the safety spot and picks it with momentum going the other way. The return is helped by very good blocking and Day saves a TD with his flag. Total return probably net 40 yards though the total run was closer to 70 since Cain cut back across the field midway. - Key block by Chenault.

Yellow Drive #9
1-Goal from the 8: Pass by Cain to Chenault for 7 yards - stopped by Canadian.
2-Goal from the 1: Pass by Cain to Chris for 1 yards and the TD. Play action. All 9 scores have been to the same endzone which is odd when you consider that there was very little wind or sun. This becomes important in a moment because after the next Red series the field switches. 6 - 3, Yellow.

1-Goal from the 17: Pass by Nick to Canadian for 17 yards and the TD. Nice coverage but a good throw to the outside. 6 - 5, Yellow.

1-Goal from the 17: Pass by Nick to Day - incomplete. Ball thrown wide under pressure.
2-Goal from the 17: Pass by Nick to Kuzi intercepted by Jesse and the TD. This was easily a net 65 yard return mostly made with Jesse's speed and a little luck when two yellows collided going for him.

That's game. 7 - 5, Yellow.

Passing Stats:
Players Comp Drops Attempts % Yards TDs INTs Sacked Yds Lost Rating
Nick 25 3 48 52.08% 338 5 3 1 -5 83.51
Canadian 0 0 1 0.00% 0 0 1 0 0 0.00
Cain 20 1 42 47.62% 241 5 2 5 -39 85.42

Big games tend to result in turnovers and that was certainly the case this week where we had 6 of them. Still and all, you have to like the completion percentages and yards. Nick had 52.08% and 338 yards along with 5 TDs. Take away the drops and the completion rate jumps to 58.33%. Cain's numbers were quite good as well and even better when you consider he hadn't been out in about a month and I don't think he played QB his last time out.

Once again, Jesse and Canadian lead receivers with 124 and 107 yards respectively. Jesse led in TDs with 3 and we had 2 other players with multi-TD games: Chris and Kuzi each had 2. Chris and Kuzi were dependable receivers with high reception percentages, lots of yards (84 and 76, respectively) and first downs (4 each) to go with the 2 TDs. Very nice. Need to mention some heads up plays by Day and Chenault with timely, unplanned pitches that resulted in much extra yards as well as Day's 75 yards and TD.

Cain and Ethan each had 2 takeaways (Ethan, literally). Jesse had 1 pick but it was a pick-six and was the final nail. He also had 2 defensed passes. Gotta love Matta and Carlos who each had 2 sacks for 15 total yards lost. Kuzi had a sack for another 9 yards lost.

MVP - This was tough call because Jesse and Cain both had really huge days. From a strictly fantasy point standpoint, Jesse had the bigger day with 40 points compared to Cain's 35. Also 4 non-passing TDs is a fairly amazing day. I'm not sure we had another performance like that (other than that rain game at Round Rock where we played with no 4 on 4 with an all time QB and Nick passed for nearly 1000 yards). As such, the award goes to Jesse.

Week 6 Game Summary (Game played on 10/20/07)

Okay this one is a little late. There are a couple reasons for the delay. First, I was really pissed off because we only had 13 people show up (12 at first and one later) on a perfectly fine day. Two had to leave really early and two others got hurt so we played for only a little over an hour - this after having 20 people the prior week. Second, this game occured a week prior my 40th so I was really busy the rest of the weekend and week preparing for the party the next weekend. Then time passed and I was less and less motivated and kind of pushed it out of my mind. Finally though, with the end the season approaching, I needed to get it transcribed so that I could get the stats into the system for year end reporting so here it is. What's amazing is that I actually remember much of that game - even individual plays.

Chris was the monster here with a pick, a strip-six, and a sack. Mark had a pick and a defensed pass. Adam had 2 defensed passes and Josh had a defensed pass and a sack.

MVP: No surprise here. Chris had the biggest and the most ballanced day and is this week's mini-MVP.

Other players have done this before but for some reason Canadian was deemed to have actually intercepted the ball and fumbled it.

1-16 from the 24: Pass by Street to Day for 12 yards - stopped by Canadian.
2-4 from the 36: Pass by Street to Day for 19 yards - stopped by Adam. This was funny. The ball was really to Daniel but Day got it crossing the other way. Daniel throught that it had been picked so he pulled Day's flag (really nicely done considering they were moving in opposite directions and he had to reach back to do it). But with the flag gone, all Adam (who was covering Daniel) had to do was touch Day.

This was definitely a defensive game with 5 picks by the 2 QBs along with 16 defensed passes (though 4 drops didn't help).

Again a defensive game. First time in weeks that we didn't have a single receiver with 100 yards. Kuzi led with 79 yards, a TD and 2 first downs on 7 catches of 10 targets. Kuzi wins Mr. Dependable for the week. Jesse was next with 76 yards, 2 TDs and another for a first down. Canadian had 62 yards a TD and 2 first downs. Josh had 57 yards including a 1st down. Day had 50 yards with 2 first downs.

And here's where we see stats. Adam had 8, count 'em 8, defensed passes - a record as well as at least one very important flag. Canadian and Jesse each had 2 defensed passes, 2 interceptions, and 9 flags. Street had a pick and a defensed pass. Kuzi had 2 defensed passes and a sack. Carlos had a defensed pass and a sack.

MVP: If Yellow had won, Jesse would have likely won this award with 2 TDs, 2nd most yards and a great defensive game. Canadian also had a good game and was both an offensive and defensive leader. But again, this was a defensive game and Adam's 8 defensed passes (and distraction of Mike on a 9th) and TD-saving flag of Josh were a big reason why Yellow didn't tie up the game.
