Adam comes over to pry Zieser free and Zieser decides to pitch the ball back 8 yards to Charles who finally shows what he can do with the ball in his hands: ZIIIIIIIIIP-TD.

3-19 from the 1: Pass by Street to Treadaway - defensed by Cain.
4-19 from the 1: Pass by Street to unknown - defensed by Adam. Oddest play and nearly a disaster. Street was in the process of throwing and Adam hit his arm (not the ball) from behind. The ball went up and forward slightlly. Street caught it and took off. Adam chased him down at the 19 but it was later decided that the play was an incomplete pass since Adam didn't touch the ball and therefore Street wasn't eligible to receive the ball.

Red Drive #12
1-Goal from the 1: Pass by Cain to Max - 1 yard gain and the TD.

That's game. 6.5 - 3, Red.

Street 13 6 48 27.08% 168 3 0 4 -51 62.50

Both QBs had to suffer through some drops and Cain was 0 for 10 with a pick to start the game but considering the wind and the new guys who need to come out early next time and warm up their hands, they ended the game with reasonable numbers. Both QBs did a nice job trying to get the ball around and Cain managed to get 4 of his receivers a TD and the 5th got his on the ladder part of a H-n-L.

Leading defenders were Adam, Street, and Cain though nearly everyone had a sack or a defensed pass. Mark must have been tired from rushing all time last week since he decided to play safety after a few series but he still managed a sack and a QB pressure in only like 3 series rushing.

Awards:
MVP - Cain overcame a rough start at QB to put in descent if not spectacular final numbers. He also made plays when the ball was not in his hand like his block on Adam's run. On defense he had a nice sack and 3 defensed passes.

Offensive Player of the Game - Treadaway with 7 catches for 103 yards, 2 TDs, and 4 first downs.

Defensive Player of the Game - Tough call between Adam and Street. Technically Max had as many fantasy points but they came primarily due to the safety which is one play. Adam was certainly making Street's life difficult but I think that Street's defensive play was probably bigger. His first pick was on the first play and led immediately to a TD. His second gave Yellow a short field again and again resulted in a score. But for those plays, and the game might not have been close (which it was until Red's 10th Drive). So Street gets the award this week.

Red Drive #2
1-12 from the 8: Cain - sacked by Mark. Loss of 7 yards.
2-19 from the 1: Pass by Cain to Jeff - 12 yard gain - stopped by RChin.
3-7 from the 13: Pass by Cain to Jeff - 22 yard gain - stopped by Canadian.
1-5 from the 35: Cain - sacked by Mark. Loss of 10 yards.
2-15 from the 25: Pass by Cain to BB - intercepted by Jesse - stopped by Race. BB was open on a post but Jesse closed the gap, tipped the ball up and catches it down at the 10. He took it back up the 32 on some pretty nice running. Unfortunately, RChin decides he doesn't want to play with substitutions and leaves. This have profound implications in 4 series.

Yellow Drive #2
1-8 from the 32: Pass by Canadian to Mark - defensed by Jeff. Jeff knock this ball down at the line hitting it with both outstretched hands.
2-8 from the 32: Pass by Canadian to Jesse - defensed by Cain. Ball just a bit under thrown.
3-8 from the 32: Pass by Canadian to Jesse - intercepted by Cain - stopped by Jesse. Jesse got blocked out of the immediate flag opportunity but never gives up and comes back to get the flag down field.

Red Drive #3
1-2 from the 38: Pass by Cain to Race - incomplete. Ball long.
2-2 from the 38: Pass by Cain to Adam - 15 yard gain - stopped by Zach and Jesse.

Yellow Drive #3
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Canadian to Jesse - 8 yard gain - stopped by Cain.
2-4 from the 16: Pass by Canadian to Day - intercepted by Huff - stopped by Mark.

Red Drive #4
1-Goal from the 8: Pass by Cain to BB - 8 yard gain and the TD. Cain pump faked with the rush in his face and that caused the rusher to pull up. Cain then threw the ball BB a moment later. 2 - 1, Red.

Yellow Drive #4
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Canadian to Mark - 7 yard gain - stopped by Huff. Jesse gets hurt on the play so now we're fucked since we're down to 6 on 5. Game goes on with 5 on 5 and Mark playing all time defender - he only wants to rush. Race goes over to Yellow permenantly. It's a one man line - one man rush. Rusher has to come from "in the box" though you can line up two there and send either one. If defense sends 2 rushers, QB can run.
2-5 from the 15: Pass by Biscuits to Race - 4 yard gain - stopped by BB.

Yellow Drive #9
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Canadian to Day - -3 yard gain - stopped by pitching badly. Day pitched blindly to where he thought Canadian would be but Mark made a brilliant play. He saw Canadian running out for the pitch and basically got in front of him, wrapped him up and drove him backwards and away from the pitch.
2-15 from the 5: Pass by Canadian to Unknown - intercepted by BB - stopped by Unknown.

That's all

--------------------------

While stats from this game will count, I'm not assigning wins and losses to the game because the teams were not fair after Jesse got hurt and RChin left which resulted in the craptastic 6 on 5 game. Race went over to take Jesse's place and while he's not a bad player by any stretch, it was his first game and it takes time to pick up on the play design and route running expectations.

That meant that Yellow lost their best receiver (arguably the best receiver out there on Saturday with Canadian originally expected to play QB) Yellow had 2 new players on their team. Meanwhile Red had Adam, BB and Jeff (relatively new but very experienced in our game) and Huff who was quite fast along with Cain who had been playing much more QB of late. Adam or BB should have gone over to Yellow when Jesse left and that might have made the teams a bit more fair. Still, people still played - Mark got sacks, people got TDs and picks so the stats count - just not the win/loss.

Mark was sack leader (I know, you're shocked) with 5 and he also had 2 defensed passes (one that led to a pick-six) and 2 QB pressures. Cain had 3 defensed passes and a pick. Huff and Jesse each had a pick and a defensed pass. Race, Biscuits and Jeff each had a defensed pass as well.

Awards:
Cain is MVP - he made some nice defensive plays and threw some beautiful passes (and did a lot of dancing and Mark overpowered one lineman after another).

Mark is defensive player of the week. Even if he had been playing only defense one way, he probably would have gotten it this week. Adam had the same number of fantasy points because of his pick-six but that play was partially the result of Mark's tipping the pass.

Jeff is Offensive Player of the week. Huff had similar yards and TDs but Jeff had 8 catches on 9 targets. That's the definition of clutch and 6 of the 8 plays resulted in either 1st downs or TDs.

Choices, Choices

2 weeks ago, some HS/JHS football coaching organization had rented out the fields. As a result, we used the little field behind the softball field for the game. This last week, after 3 days of solid rain, I set up on the same small field since it has far, far more grass on it.

The question is, should we keep playing on that field even though it is close to 5 yards narrower? I think the field size made a difference this last week. It certainly did on a potential TD play to Josh and probably contributed to a lot of that pressure the QBs felt since they didn't have as much room to run/scramble or to spread out receivers in patterns.

Obviously, it would best to play on the bigger fields if we get 18 people. 16 is probably even pushing it a bit though 14 works pretty well. The obvious benefit to the smaller field is that there is much more grass on it which is much nicer to run (or fall) on.

Preferences? If we have a week where we're going to only have 14 (or it's been raining), should I set up on the small field and then set up on the wider field when the numbers are bigger?

3-Goal from the 21: Cain - sacked by Carlos. Loss of 4 yards.
4-Goal from the 25: Pass by Cain to Biscuits - incomplete. QB pressure by Adam. Very nearly play of the game. Adam and Josh switch coverage and Adam blitzes free. He gets his hand on the ball as Cain is about to throw it. The ball pops up and back. Cain goes back and catches the ball in the air, rolls right and makes a very good throw under pressure to Biscuits. Unfortunately, Biscuits couldn't catch it in bounds. Hell of a play, by Cain though.

1-15 from the 25: Pass by Street to Canadian - 14 yard gain - stopped by RChin.
2-1 from the 39: Pass by Street to - -9 yard gain - stopped by Mark.

That's Game: 3.5 - 2, Yellow.

QB's endured 17 Sacks!!!! (More about them later). As a result, the relatively low completion percentages and yards passing are understandable. But I was a bit shocked by the yardage. During the game, it did not feel like the ball wasn't getting moved much.

As I mentioned, SEVENTEEN SACKS! Holy crap - that's a lot of pressure. In fact, if you add in 3 more QB pressures and 3 defensed passes at the line and you've got 23 of 84 pass plays directly disrupted by pressure. But it's not like the secondaries weren't doing their jobs. Low scoring game, low yardage game, and 3 picks and 13 other defensed passes.

Mark was defensive leader with 4 sacks (one for a safety), 2 defensed passes (one of which resulted in a pick), and a QB pressure. BB had a great day too with 2 defensed passes, 2 picks, and a sack. Carlos tied Mark with 4 sacks. Greg made his debut with 3 sacks and a defensed pass. Matta and Biscuits each had 2 sacks. Canadian and Cain each had 2 defensed passes and Canadian also had a pick.

Special Teams Stats:
Players Punts Punt Yards Punts Fielded
Canadian 2 59 1
Street 0 0 1
Cain 2 83 1
Mark 1 35 0

Canadian did pretty well in his debut as a punter for Red.

Awards:

MVP goes to Mark. TD, Safety, 3 other sacks, 2 defensed passes including one which resulted in a pick and a prevention of points for Red who was in scoring range. Very nice game Mark.

Cain was the offensive player of the week and BB was defensive player of the week.
