We just got off the field for our first scrimmage. We had an MIAA crew officiate the game so our guys could work more game like situations. The field was in sloppy conditions due to the thunderstorms we had overnight, but our guys came out today and got better.
OFFENSE: Our offense picked up right where we left off in 2008. We struggled a little on the goal line offensively (mainly because we didn't put our GL Offense on the field). I am really seeing (Steve) Gachette improve as a leader of this team. Our OL and RB's really stepped up and began to display of a more aggresive running attack. Our WR's did a great job of finding the football and making plays. Our offense overall is getting better and better everyday!
DEFENSE: Our linebacker play and secondary play was getting much better and they did a great job of finishing and tackling. Our DL gave great effort, but the depth of our DL for the spring made the rotations very hard and for an 80 play scrimmage the wore down at the end. The defense overall gave great effort and swarmed to the football.
SPECIAL TEAMS: We only went live for punt and FG today. Our punt team did a great job of protecting and covering. We didn't get a bpunt blocked in 2008 and if we keep working on it, we won't get one blocked in 2009. Our FG team did a great job with operation and execution (especially with the sloppy conditions)
We hope to see you at our next scrimmage Saturday the 18th at 11:00am
