Essentially meaningless game for us in MIA, but would be nice to beat a rival and finish at .500
MIA got 2 early TDs on 3rd and long RZ passes but we kept up with a dominant ground game and some timely YAC. Things settled down in the 2nd with a couple punts and then we recoverd a fumble at midfield only to fumble it away ourselves allowing MIA to tack on a FG and get a 3 poit lead, nothing doing for either team in the final 5 inutes as we picked them off once they got into scoring range.
We coughed it up on a scramble at midfield, and MIA was rolling on the ground but coughed it up themselves inside our 10. A cople of punts had us switching fields and we ran it up to midfield but took a huge 16 yard sack on 3rd and short. We were up on the field position battle now after forcing a punt but coudln't do much other than pin them at their 3.
Didn't last long though as they hit the edge for a big gain and took the overhan in the field position battle. yet again we scrapped our way to midfield only to falter there and forced a punt to take over with 3:32 left down 3 needing to string together a coupel passes at least. We got our wish and then hit rookie TE Ames on a YAC play to go up 4 at the 2 minute warning. Hurry, hurry holf had them at 3rd and 20 but we had a 2nd personal foul on the day giving them new life at midfield and they hit a 9 route against the nickel personel,, goal line personnel that showed up out of nowhere in the most recent update, it is like man coverage but with the NB and MLB in deep zones instead of short.
MLB A.Navarre Deep Zone
WLB D.Brophy Man-to-Man
LCB D.Downs Man-to-Man
RCB A.Knopf Man-to-Man
NB K.Gerstler Deep Zone
SS C.Manning Man-to-Man
FS M.Dubord Man-to-Man
Another tight and verry winnable game for us. Just a smidge more of O talent and I feel like we will be a playoff team, not a contender necessarily but rock solid.
Best of luck to Denver and El Paso in the playoffs and pretty please konck out KC, HON and LVS ASAP as we want those picks to be worth something.
