Hogan's Heroes

[Jesse]

1. Gabe Wallace - I was not pumped at messing with the OL after such a successful week 1, but the first play of the game, there is Wallace pushing Peterson forward for extra yardage. Zach was rarely touched. Seemed like the OL play as a whole was not overly impacted. Great first start Gabe!

2. Keric Wheatfall - Set the pace again with 6 receptions on 6 targets and 86 yards. He is a star. We are thriving on the backs of second year players hitting their stride.

3. Jamal Parker - Don't care, picking another defensive player - Jamal was probably the player of the game. Finished the play on his scoop and score and also came up with an interception. The offence played incredibly conservative for a lot of the game and the defensive performance, led by Jamal, is what sealed this game for us.

Holm made some nice plays. We have a top quality secondary.

Hogan is the Hogan's Hero.  Creativity, brand new wrinkles, using the "trick play" (Eli) that was 100% absent for around 3 seasons.

He also had a very good mix of run and pass, with some mostly ineffective deep shots to open things up a bit for some decent runs and shorter pass attempts.

I know the stuffed-for-1-yard run isn't glamorous, but sticking with it is what is supposed to open things up, and it achieves the all-important clock-bleeding.

And the prevent O is ugly and boring, but it was successful, and running a boring prevent O is not necessarily a gimmee.  I bet if BC was lighting it up with Rourke today, we would have been lighting it up too.

The Strev-stays-in package, which worked amazingly well (passing TD), minus the "hold" (called back).

Hogan not afraid to do a blast from the past, which no one could ever understand why Buck refused to use it.

And getting Strev in at the end of the game for a couple of reps!

Of course! Totally spaced on that one.

one first down in the 3rd quarter - a couple of good drives but let's be honest the defence contributed more to that win. 

masoli had more yards passing than zach, by no means am i saying he is trash or washed but pump the brakes - one first down in a quarter is terrible, Hogan should be fine but he is still learning - that wasn't a masterpiece

Offence did enough to win, really slowed down.

Yes D carried us.  Our defense is on a run of brilliance that I doubt will be replicated in future decades.  Offence will come around.  D already there.
