Equipment Note: Wilson Footballs

Wilson offers re-bladder service, where you send your football back to Wilson, and for $20, they will replace the broken bladder in the ball, and relace the ball back up.

You also have the option of paying $5, where Wilson will send you a new bladder and new laces, and you can do it yourself. Wilson however recommends working with a professional, because they do not include instructions for how to relace the ball.

Send your ball to:
Wilson Sporting Goods
Attn: Repair Services
217 N. Liberty St
Ada, OH 45810

The service should take approximately 2-4 weeks.

when my balls come back, I will post pictures (should have taken photos before i sent them away too)

Team White:
Touchdown #1: deep pass to Andy (Ed in man coverage), Cooper covering John, Andy got his hands on the ball, but Cooper coming late to the play knocked it loose, into John's hands and he out ran me to the end zone.
Touchdown #2: (after INT thrown to Brian) In man coverage, Alan against Brian. Alan misjudged the ball, and Brian got behind Alan and outran him to the end zone.
Touchdown #3: (after INT thrown to John) In man coverage, Ed on John, and I was guarding Andy? I failed to call switch, John beat Ed on a corner move (with Ed hurting his quad on the play).
Touchdown #4: 4th and goal, after Keith caught a comeback at the goalline (disputed whether it was a touchdown or not). In zone coverage (five across), steve on the inside, with Keith outside. They switch, so Steve was outside, so I called switch with Dan. Steve man a move to the inside and back of the end zone, I went with him, abandoning my zone, and Keith came free on the inside out move from the left slot (left of center)
Touchdown #5: In man coverage, Steve outside, John slot, Keith from left slot. (playing 5 against 6), Keith came under the routes, with John and Steve running double post. I waited because i saw Keith coming underneath, which gave Steve the window to get into the back middle of the end zone.

Team Dark:
Touchdown #1: Mitch on a shallow crossing route, avoided three defenders and got into the end zone.
Touchdown #2: Form the 1 yard line: Ed, Bill, Alan, Mitch Cooper.Scott. Bill and Ed running combo where Ed steps up and sets a natural screen for Bill to run under and finish the out route. Although Bill and Ed collided, Steve was playing 7 yards deep in the end zone leave a huge gap where Ed was running his route. Easy pass to Ed for touchdown.
Touchdown #3: from about 10 yard line: Bill Ed, Alan, Mitch, Cooper/Scott. Bill and Ed running combo route, where the get into end zone, and Bill runs his man off to create window for Ed running the out route. Bill took his route deeper into the end zone and the window opened up for him right where he was standing.
Touchdown #4: (5 against 6) from about 15 yard line: Bill, (center) Mitch, Dan, Scott. Scott from right split, running post to back of the end zone, Mitch running out or corner to the right. I think Bill ran a corner-post route to occupy the safety (and the concept was to try and hit him right when he broke back to the inside. This completely drew the deep safety to his side. Dan came underneath from right to left. But after looking left, then back right, Scotty came free right where he needed to be.

Interceptions:
Team White:
Interception #1: Scotty running a post route, the ball came out poorly and did not get downfield. Intercepted by Brian.
Interception #2: under pressure, rolling to the right, I bypassed Scott on the short throw, and went for a slightly longer throw to Mitch, but threw too far inside and it was intercepted by John.

Team Dark:
Interception #1: (Bill?)
Interception #2: Cooper in man coverage against John, but the pass from Mike was late, and Cooper caught it easily.

Missed opportunities:
Team Dark:
- got into red zone three or four times, but stalled on 4th down. most possessions were from 4 and 15, a distance just too great to make up given the weather and personnel.

Team Frank:
Interception #1: on 4th and goal from about the 25 yard line, Mike threw a ball into the end zone and it looked like Ed was going to known down, but he didn't and it hit me in the chest and I couldn't drop the ball before curling up around it.

Missed opportunities:
Team Frank
- on 4th and goal, Alan ran an out against Scott in man coverage, but the pass got away from me and was too far in front of him.
- on 3rd and goal, we ran double pass to steve. He waited and found Dave wide open in the end zone, but Davey closed his hands too soon (i saw it all happen!) and it deflected off of the outside of his hands
- the ensuing 4th and goal, The play call had Steve running a post corner (assuming it was man coverage, with Danny on Steve) but it was zone, so Danny was sitting on the corner route. I looked back to the left side and found end with good separation in the back left corner, but the pass I threw was crooked (not anything close to a spiral) and high, so he could not corral it. Afterwards, Brian told me that he popped open immediately on his slant-hitch route into the middle of the field.

Key plays:
-on the winning drive, from 4th and short at midfield, Brian ran an out and up against Scott in man coverage. Scotty was beat, but my throw was short and Scotty caught up to it to tip it, but he failed to knock it down and Brian grabbed it for a huge gain.
-Brian and Alan had a lot of great catches for first downs and long gains. Alan consistently beat his man coverage (often against Craig) and Brian found a lot of soft spots in the zones.
-Darius had a lot of catches when I had to scramble. Many of those throws were against the grain (i was running to the right and threw back to the left). He was able to catch every one of them.
-Davey had two or three huge completions when the defense just allowed him to get open in the zone and get a good 10 YAC.
