GG Turf,
Kinda of wild game, it had a safety and some crazy catches. I thought after that late fumble, we had a shot at winning but your Dline just dominated those last plays. Fuck Double Covering Conley, it didn't work at all.
Good game man.
gg JJ.
Yes, definitely a crazy game. I can't believe we got called for holding in the end zone.
This game was a little chippy with 3 big penalties in a row on your 2nd quarter scoring drive:
1-10-LVS40 (2Q: 05:54) Leonardo Harrison pass completed to WR Marcus Dole for 2 yards. Tackled by ILB Jay Martinez. The quarterback threw into double coverage.
PENALTY: OLB Donnie Gillespie of Las Vegas was called for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
1-10-LVS23 (2Q: 05:48) Erick Mannino ran a trap outside the left tackle for 6 yards. Tackled by DT Moe Joseph, assisted by OLB Tristan Kemp. Key block delivered by Sean Becker.
PENALTY: S Damon Rickard of Las Vegas was called for Unnecessary Roughness.
1-9-LVS09 (2Q: 05:41) Leonardo Harrison pass completed to FB T.J. Carey for 8 yards. Tackled by CB Jerry Sexton.
PENALTY: WR Marcus Dole of Omaha was called for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
We had a few others during the game, which is fairly uncharacteristic of this team.
I still hold firm that a strong d-line trumps a strong o-line in FOF8, as seen by the ROI from my front seven and the 100-yard rusher (over 5ypc) behind a mediocre mess of mangoo I have for an o-line that has the combined endurance to run 82 total yards during conditioning drills in practice.
As far as double-teaming Conley, I believe the saying is that if you have two, you have one and if you have one, you have none. If you invest 2 defenders into covering Conley, it's no different than him being single covered and frees up one of our other assets. It sure would be nice to see what FL Camden Vanags could have done opposite Conley this year. Only 29 weeks left on his career-ending knee injury.
Good luck the rest of the way!
