We dropped another one this week to Brookfield Central, 18-0. However, the score is not indicative of how we played, in my opinion. We did a much better job protecting the football (we had only one turnover, which was the result of a poor play call on my part and took place at the end of the game when we were simply trying tomake something happen).
What did us in this time around was some untimely penalties, taking some poor angles on some outside runs by Brookfield Central, and a failure to break big plays. We also got a little unlucky on one of Brookfield's runs as their player stepped out of bounds, but the referee crew was short a second linesmen and nobody had the proper angle to get a good look at it. I told the players that if we would've taken better angles in the first place, we wouldn't have to worry about such a thing. Credit to Brookfield for not quitting on the play, no question.
Brookfield is a very good program, however, and I was encouraged by our effort overall. We just need to break some big plays and continue to get better in other areas. If we protect the football the rest of the season the same way we did today, I'll definitely be pleased with that part of the game.
Back to work on Monday, see you then.
