Week 2 Discussion

[JesterBlaze]

I may have been wrong about Jamie Williams' chances at winning the ORotY Award. He caught two balls this week. :shock:

While not pushing for JW's stats to "lock" the award for him... who do think are the candidates to make it hard for him? I only remember Charles Bell (RB) as a possible legitimate offensive threat this year.

[sovstar]

The only way Charles Bell doesn't get it is if he gets injured. If he gets injured, I'm sure there are still better candidates. I'll look for some now.

[sovstar]

T.J. Fenker started this week. Maybe a sign of things to come in Montreal. If he started the rest of the year he could be a candidate. Lionel Childers might be a new starter with Jarvis going down. Wichita's 1st round pick, Clemmons, has been targeted more than Williams. Ronnie Wilkins of Vermont has been targeted more. Patrick Harding of Vancouver has been targeted more. Rambo, Lincoln, and Rico Bailey all have both have more rushing yards than Williams does receiving yards. Maybe one of the kickers could win the award, hell maybe even an o-lineman (a center in particular). How about Norfolk's Myron Covington? St. Louis' Erik Farrell has the bulk of his team's carries.

The season is young so without going negative towards some names that you've mentioned that I recognize I'll say that Rico Bailey (coincidentally on your team or not???) is the only player that I think has a real shot over C. Bell. or Jamie.

Not as long as Lomeli stands out as the better current option.

Im happy with the game today...Some thoughts....

1. Crespo managed to get 100 yds (101) but it took him 31 carries. I can live with a 100 yd rusher that averages 3 ypc.

You got him this time. He has his days.

2. LeGrande and Rau had a nice day on the ground. 30 carries for 140+ yds and 2 TDs. Looks like the WIC ground game was better than highly touted C-Money CrespoHo.

Try Crespo and Controis. The C&C connection. 37 for 176yds.


To be honest, I mis-played your team. I gearedup for the pass and you ran the ball a lot more than I thought you would.

A few big stats that lost this game for me, besides the fumble on the punt return.

2 fumbles/2 fumbles lost

I wonder who LRK is going to start at QB against me

[Kobeck]

Mules QB situation is ugly for sure.

Just trying to remain competitive till Opie gets back. Looking grim at this time.




Madison won 31-10, but this is one time I will say the game was a little closer than the score indicates. Madison was scored 3 TDs inside the redzone and the Mules only got 10 point in their 3 trips inside the 20. Mules only TO resulted in a penalty riddled possession of -7 yards taking Murfreesboro out of FG range. But the real difference was the Net of 50 yards per punt as the Demons continued to flip the field on the Mules all day long.

What's your momma doing next week?

she's busy. Maybe Lorenn could fill in

[Cringer]

Maybe, but I am leaning towards Given anyways. Can headaches get worse? Maybe his head will explode....

Good game Jeff. I had put my gameplan to orient CB by WR covered. I assumed that would mean Ames would be on your #1 WR. Then I put 100% double team on your #2 receiver. Not sure if what I "thought" I was doing is what FOF did.

My defense didn't show up until the 2nd half and we still have yet to get a running game going this season. Granted I did try to come out and throw the ball a little today.

it was a sloppy game on that front. had a little trouble on our side of the ball as well. i recall a holding on a kick return for you that really hurt you too. good game either way. may crespo feel sufficiently taunted and pissed off. here's hoping he runs wild for a few weeks now. :twisted:

We only have two sacks this year, but talk about key moments:

4-01-HOU37 (07:01) HOU 19 Booker sacked by PIT 78 Woods for a loss of 6 yards.
Sack allowed by HOU 68 Grant.
The ball goes over on downs.

Possession to Pittsburgh.

1-10-HOU31 (06:15) PIT 32 Richardson ran around right end for 7 yards.
Tackled by HOU 99 Bramlett, assisted by HOU 55 Young.
Key block delivered by PIT 62 Walz.

2-03-HOU24 (05:56) PIT 2 Mueller pass completed to 80 Edelstein for 16 yards.
Tackled by HOU 43 Bolinger.
--
1-08-HOU08 (05:08) PIT 2 Mueller pass completed to 80 Edelstein for 8 yards and a touchdown!
Extra point by PIT 4 Spotwood was good.

Score: Pittsburgh 17, Houston 7.

3-03-PIT29 (04:25) HOU 19 Booker sacked by PIT 94 Cajigal for a loss of 5 yards.
Sack allowed by HOU 72 Legg.

4-08-PIT34 (04:08) HOU 1 Whiting attempted a 51 yard field goal and missed short of the crossbar.

Houston's defense really played well in the first half, but Rodrigez took a screen pass 70 yards to keep us in the game. I think that was about half of our offense in the first half. We had the big plays today, and Houston didn't, and that's the only reason we won.

Graybill debuted with 10 tackles, 6 assists, and a hurry.

Pittsburgh 2-0 for the first time in team history. We are usually slow starters, going 2-8 in the first two weeks of a season in the five prior years.

You got to be fuckin kiddin me:

1-10-IWC20 (01:44) IWC 6 Mathews pass completed to 83 Nelson for 48 yards.
Tackled by LAW 59 McCreary.
Penalty: IWC - Offensive Holding.
--
1-20-IWC10 (01:35) IWC 6 Mathews pass was underthrown, intended for 89 Harris.
Penalty: IWC - Intentional Grounding. Safety called on penalty in end zone.

At least I can say I didn't get beat badly. But this safety crap is starting to get old. Good game Lawrence.

In my defense I also had a TD called back due to offensive holding.

But how's this to make you feel better: 3-0 and 1st place in the NFC North (in the NFL)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That does feel better, but with db's outlaws at the top of the AFC North, I feel like it should be snowing in hell. . .
