Pioners loves to blitz

Atleast it won't be a total loss. :ha:

Good luck.

Thanks, i´ll need it.

Have fun too

Hope you are watching the SB at home:spud:

Yeah, me too, or at least at a sports bar better

How old are you? I thought you were 50+ or something.

According to his profile, he's 29...

Good luck Michi, looks like you're gonna need it:thumb:

Yep, Im 29.

Dont bury me yet!!

(I say it because of the age, not the game) ;)

Still alive and kicking. Little sore but nothing special

We lost... no surprise there...

0-56 (grr)

But scoreboard is not too fair to us, because they score 3 times in punt returns, which we would replan using defensive players, instead of ofenssive.

BTW, we also ended 2 times on kick off returns in the 15 yard, so I must guess or KO return team is rather good and we could surprise someone on this in the league.

We ended 4 times in the red zone, (2 of them tried 25 yds FGs, but didnt work, new kicker there)

As usual, because we have little weight in the OL and need more playing arsenal for the red zone, we find it very hard to advance one we get in those last 15 yards.

Rained a lot, and our passing game was poorly executed, so we went one dimensional against a good d. They passed a lot in first half untill it rained a lot more and then runnend us in the middle using some trapping, which confused our rookie DL. Letting the RB on one-on-one against the OLBS, and leaving the sidelines open. The DE were also over-covering the sidelines leaving big holes for the off tackle (strong side) and off guard (week side) runs...

Im still very proud on the team. We fought hard, never gave up, and never began yelling at each other.
:)


We face Barcelona Uroloki (managed by a former Dragons Assistan who takes care of NFL Europe tryouts for the Mexican leagues, and usually brings to his team 2-3 Mexican well talented players.) next week at Barcelona.


HAVE FUN WATCHING THE SB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Dominique Stewart, the Massacht. Univ. player, did a GREAT game, scoring 3 TDs on long pass plays, one an amazing dive catch.

Mike di Battista didnt do much. Got to panckake him on a reverse play.
