SF 31 - Rita 28. Final

ramblin:
I've returned, this time armed with a glass of Jameson (I take it neat, BTW), only to learn the temperament of this thread has remained fairly consistent.
I just re-read this thread front to back. It’s as if Joseph Heller, David Foster Wallace teamed up posthumously with the Coen and Farrelly brothers on a Friday Night lights screenplay. Pure art. Well done.
Another couple points about the game that are stuck in my craw:
I’m on record saying not just last night but for the last decade, St. Rita’s play action game has not been where it should be with their running game. I want to say in the 2000s I’d see slants, skinnys, pops, flats off play action that were deadly. So that’s where I’d start.
But a play that bothered me after watching Alessio throwing chain movers on high percentage, mid to high reward passes, I saw a 15 yard field-wide-side out by the St. Rita offense and their Soph, first varsity action, QB. Yes, the pass they throw at the NFL combine to see a prospects arm strength. It’s like 40 air yards. So we face high percentage mid to high reward pass offenses and respond with a low percentage low reward pass offense.
And I’m the biggest fan of one on one passes and we tried 3 last night from my memory, one TD and 2 that the WR had to come back to through a non-turned around DB. Now you might think flag but if the St. Rita WR had a step on the DB that pass has to be released sooner and over the top. And technically, it’s better to throw a contested ball to your sideline psychologically for a flag. And the officials from my view called an excellent game but I’m just a percentage guy and human psychology is human psychology.
I think I can turn the page now and I’m not underestimating how difficult last week’s practice was getting a QB game ready that my wish list is probably pie in the sky expectations. But onto St. Laurence and I remain staunch and true to the mission.
