(Al's last game, so they made it "old-timers" vs. "new guys")
Team Al:
Al, Steve, H, Mike, Tim, Davey, Pilot Dave
Team Frank:
Frank, Jonah, Kile, Cooper, Pat, Dan, Warren
Touchdown Plays:
Team Al:
Touchdown #1:
Touchdown #2:
Team Frank
Touchdown #1: INT return by Pat
Touchdown #2: while scrambling, Jonah broke free coming from right to left in the end zone.
Touchdown #3: Jonah on a Z-in Z-out route from left end, Cooper snapping, and running a corner route. Jonah caught the touchdown pass because he ran his route too deep (to back pylon, instead of front pylon). Cooper would have had an easy catch in the back of the left end zone.
Touchdown #4: INT return by Jonah
Touchdown #5: Warren ran a angle route to the left by himself, with Kile, Dan, Cooper running routes to the right. Warren's route opened up the middle for Jonah to catch an easy pass for the TD.
Touchdown #6:
Strategy:
Offense: we had favorable matchup at every position. Jonah was the quickest player on the field, and Team Al had to respect Kile and Jonah's speed and ability to go deep. But we kept things simple, taking easy throws to the sideline and underneath in the middle.
Defense: Again, we had the matches, and played a lot of man-to-man to force tight throws. The few occasions when we flipped to zone coverage really flummoxed Al, with many throws not even getting close to the receiver. Cooper, Jonah, and Pat all had INT's.

Recap: Sunday Football - Winnetka 10-16-16
Team Mike v. Team Al
Team Al:
Al, Cooper, Tim, Steve, H, Sam, Pilot Dave, Chris, Davey
Team Mike:
Mike, Kile, Frank, Pat, Alan, Dylan, Brian, Scotty
Team Mike started by throwing three interceptions on the first three drives. The third INT was returned for a TD by Al.
Touchdown Plays:
Team Al:
Touchdown #1
Touchdown #2: (our defense in man coverage) Tim ran a square out against me, and the pass was just beyond my fingertips. (the out to my right, the offense's left side)
Touchdown #3: INT ret for TD
Touchdown #4:
Touchdown #5: Despite defense highlighting the need to lockdown Steve and H, H catches a touchdown on a comeback route to the right of the end zone (the defense's left side)
Touchdown #6:
Team Mike:
Touchdown #1: at the goal line, we lined up Mike, Kile, Pat and Alan in the four interior receiver slots. I fired the ball low to Kile who caught it in his knees.
Touchdown #2: within 10 yards, Mike on the outside right, ran a whip route with Tim in man coverage. I sidearmed the ball low and away and Mike caught it diving to his left.
Missed opportunities:
Team Mike: fourth and goal inside the ten yard line, Dylan was running a fade/corner route to the left. If coverage was sitting in the back left corner, the throw was to be on the inside. The defense lined up Al by himself on that side, so the matchup was decidedly in our favor. But my pass to Dylan was too soft, and Al was able to catch up to it to knock it down.
Strategy:
Oddly, we appeared to have the personal to win the individual match-ups on Offense and Defense, but we were continually beat in man or zone coverage on defense.
On Offense, the field was so wide, with Kile lined up on the outside left (where the field was widest) that he was basically removed from the play because the throw from QB to the sideline was so far, it was too dangerous to throw. We attempted a few too many deep shots in lieu of taking the easy 10-12 yard throws that presented themselves all the time. Two or three drives stalled out at fourth and goal from 10-15 yards away.
