No Mas...No Mas

So week 3 is in the book and the Knights post a 38-6 win over the Cougars. The game lasted 3 quarters and 2 minutes.


So the Knights took a 25-0 halftime lead. Our changes to the offense, especially the WB worked like a charm. They could not stop Aaron and our Rocket Sweep. He scored 2 TD's of 40yds, has a third TD called back. He ran for about 150yds on 7 carries. Jake ran for about 160 and scored 3TDs. Even our HB ran for about 50yds. (He's mostly a blocking back)


Defense only gave up 1 TD at the beginning of the 3rd quarter, when our second team offense was stopped on 4th down at our own 20. After Jakes third TD put us up 32-6 the Cougars has the ball on our 40 when they ran a halfback option.


This was the weirdest play of the season. 1st our QB and new FS Peyton (also the teams shortest player) leaped high on the overthrow and picked it off at the 22...running it back 78yds for the nail in the coffin TD. 38-6. On the play the defense hit the RB who threw the ball...he was knocked out, on the return the starting and backup QB (playing WR) were knocked out as well. The field looked like a M*A*S*H unit after the INT. The other coach looked at me and said "No more". He didnt have a QB or RB. The game ended 38-6.

I've been teaching the defense the concept of swarming, the example I keep telling them is the USC/WASH Todd Marinovitch game "ALL I SAW WAS PURPLE" . After this game Im sure the Cougars were saying "All I saw was Red"

Big win for the knights. Have to keep the focus this week, as the Eagles at 2-1 come to town.
I've never seen a team not finish a game. This will forever be known as the "No Mas" game.

Weeks One and Two

Well I have been neglecting the updates, and you now know why. The Knights have started the season 0-2, both losses to Playoff Caliber teams. 33-19 in the 1st game and 49-27 in the second. Defense is having issues. Lets get a quick recap

Week One - The Knights fall behind quickly on two long touchdown drives by the Vikings. 14-0. Jake breaks off a beautiful 55yd TD Run with a crushing lead block by the HB, Adam. 14-6. The Score rises to 27-6 by halftime as the Knights Defense has issues stopping the run. Two TDS, A Peyton TD pass and a Sean broken play 60yd TD run on a busted WB pass narrows the score to 27-19 before the Vikings score late. Final 33-19

Week Two. The Steelheads. I didnt think it could get worse. We give up a 60yd TD pass on the 1st play of the game, fall behind 18-12 (Even a TD by Sean on a KO Return). We then give up 5 more TD's and lose the game 49-27. Defense has Breakdown after Breakdown, Coverage mistakes, and poor tackling. The team is really down and practice this week is going to be a bitch.

So some wholesale changes are being made. We are Benching Aaron at FS and moving him to WB. (Sean is making too many mental mistakes at WB) He's taking this move pretty hard. Peyton with now go both ways at FS/QB. I dont want him to get hurt. DL played better and CAL is making some plays at NG. We play the cougars this week. I hate this team from years past. We play them at home and they are 0-2 as well playing both the teams we played. They have a combined 7 points in those 2 games. I need defense to play its heart out this week. Maybe our 1st home game mixed in with the changes will help.

Offense has looked good and both out running and passing games are clicking. Unfortunatley I need to weaken the offense to shore up the defense. Lets hope the balance works
