Well, uh. It wasn't pretty, ladies and gentlemen. The Barnstormers dropped one 76-33 to the San Jose Sabercats at home this week. The score at halftime? 41-33. Ouch. In interest of remaining positive, I'm going to providing two grades to each phase of the game this week. One for the first half, and one for the second half.
Offense: B+/Z-
The offense has a new strategy - the screen pass to Marco Thomas. They did a decent job of opening up the field as well, getting a few touchdowns to Jesse Schmidt and the new WR Collin Taylor.
Then, they quit. Fumbles and fourth downs were the name of the game in the second half.
Defense: B/Z-
John Mohring continues to be unstoppable on defense, making some huge tackles and absolutely flattening James Roe on a forced fumble. The defense kept the game manageable going into the second half.
Of course, then they got 38 unanswered points hung on them in the second half.
Special Teams: B/Z-
Finally, our long snapper has returned. There were no missed PATs. However, one was blocked in the first half. This game was also a nice reminder of why the Barnstormers didn't bring back Nick Pertuit.
Not much action in the second half, of course.
What's Next:
The Barnstormers (3-4) head to Chicago for a huge game against the Rush.
