Team Frank:
Frank, Darius, H, Steve, Scott, Craig, Warren, Jason, Sagar, Alan,
Touchdown Plays:
Team Mike:
Touchdown #1: Team Frank in man coverage from about the 15 yard line, Andy beat Warren on a slant/post route because Warren simply does not have the foot speed to keep up with Andy.
Touchdown #2: (Warren rushing), in zone coverage, Mike found Pat on a outside route from about the 15 yards away.
Team Frank:
Touchdown #1: Darius running a slant route from the left. He stopped his route in the slot as drawn up, so me under duress and continued his route. I threw sidearm, behind the rusher for the touchdown. We were about 5 yards away.
Touchdown #2: Darius running a out route short of the end zone, Steve running a flag route to the back cone. Team Mike in zone coverage, with Brian playing the shallow right (our left) and Dave covering the back pylon. Darius got past Brian and I saw the opening and Darius caught the ball in the end zone.
Touchdown #3: H running a flag-post route from the left slot, with Sagar running a wheel route to the left. Omar came on the rush, but missed the tag. Scotty in man coverage on H overran his coverage allowing H to break back to the ball in the middle of the end zone (we were about 15 yards from the end zone).
Missed opportunities:
Team Frank: we must have been in the red zone four or five times without scoring. Our very first drive ended at about the 10 yard line, but the pressure did not allow me to get the ball off and fell short of Darius in the end zone. Two other drives ended from about the 15 yard line. Those two drives I tried to go to steve, but both throws were not on the mark and had no chance of getting to Steve to even make a play. On one of the throws to steve (where he was running back of the end zone from the left slot), H ran a out form the right end, Sagar was running a deep out to the back of the end zone. I read man coverage and perceived H and Sagar to be covered. But it turns out it was a zone, and the man in front of Sagar let him go.
On a short fourth down play, bill ran a comeback just over the 1st down line. But he didn't get enough depth on the route, allowing Brian to sit on his route and break up the pass.
On a third and long, Bill and Jason were to run deep routes (Jason fly, Bill post) with Sagar running an out route underneath the action. Sagar was able to draw the up man, (there were only two men in the zone on that side of the field), but Bill ran a flag route, and Jason adjusted to Bill by running a post route, and both guys ended up in front of the defender, effectively taking themselves out of the play.
Interceptions:
Team Mike: The play was designed to have Jason run up the left seam at the safety, with H running a fly route and Scott running up the right seam. Scott popped open, but the throw was a bit too far inside and Kile picked it off easily.
Team Frank:
Interception #1: In the red zone, andy or Ed or Tim was unable to corral the pass, and the defection hit me in the left hand and I was able to grab it.
Interception #2: While running a 3-2-1 defense, Mike tried to hit Dave or Andy over the left seam (their right), I saw the play and was able to intercept and return the ball past the 1st down marker.
Interception #3: another tipped ball that fell into my hands around mid field.
Strategy and Observations:
On offense: Team Mike was running a zone for most of the game, even when I would line up one receiver to the left, and four to the right. The zone was very weak on the right side because we had the overload (four receivers vs. three defenders)
On defense: Because of the lack of overall team speed on both teams, we were able to run a 3-2-1 zone concept with three defenders covering the shallow routes, two intermediate defenders taking away the seam routes and deep out/flag routes, and one deep safety to help on all deep plays. With myself at the top of the 3-2-1, Team Mike rarely completed anything beyond 15 yards (sole exception a really well thrown ball to Pat up the seam. But that may have been in the 4-2).
