  1. From George's article (above). 

     

    “When it comes to someone who seems to make the most plays, which would say which one would eventually garner the most time, if he can get to where he knows what he’s doing …” Bowden said. “Deltron’s kind of moving into that position now.”

     

    It will be interesting to see how many carries he gets Tuesday. 

     

    Nice article, I would have liked to see any photo of Deltron included.

    PS I wonder if this play was talked about in the film room. I value TW4's shoulder too much to see him running next to 22. 

  2. Press conference notes. 

     

    • We had no idea Jackson was going to play. We didn't get the Jackson that could run. 

    • Deltron has a nice little side step. He has explosive plays. He makes bigger plays off the same things we have been calling. You say what's the difference in the run game, it's him.

    • Tommy is efficient

    • Kevin Gladney got the game ball for his TD catch

    • Alvin is okay for this week. 

    • Our depth is getting better. Guiser and Alvin out, able to fill in with quality depth.  

    • Penalties continue to get better. We emphasized it more than I have ever done in my life.

    The Bobcats average over 40 a game and the Zips are around 20. Unless the OC lets Woodson throw, I don't see how we can keep up. Especially with zero run game.

    Our last three games on the schedule will be in bad weather, I think the Zips will have to improve their run game to be successful this month. I like what I saw at the end of the game last week. I thought Sands was able to take advantage of the defense over pursuing. Including next week, it will be six games without Ball, and he will still be the Zips leading rusher through mid November. I remember earlier in the season pulling the Guard and running counters through that hole, I don't recall seeing that recently. I thought that was a successful play that was helping to move the chains. Akron is ranked 19th in the country in Red Zone Defense, I'm not overly worried about the Bobcats offensive drives.

  4. Thomas Woodson earned Mid-American Conference Player of the Week honors for the East Division, the league announced on Monday. Woodson took home Offensive Player of the Week honors, while Gasser was named Specialist of the Week. In Akron’s 21-20 win over Buffalo, Woodson went 21-of-29 for a season-high 286 yards and three touchdowns.  

     

    Woodson moved into second place on the Akron career list with 6,829 passing yards

    Woodson is also No. 2 in career passing touchdowns (53).

    "...In the expanded role, where Featherstone is splitting series with junior Jordan George, the Penn Hills product collected a career-high 11 tackles, including seven solo, in a 22-17 loss at Troy on Sept. 23..."

     

    Hard to tell the snap counts, but Shawn was all over the field Saturday. Impressive if 2 and 7 are splitting time, and were the leading tacklers Saturday!?!? A product of Buffalo chucking the ball around 50 times on rainy day, but still impressive. From my perspective (which is tough sometimes, especially with weather) other than Featherstone, I thought Brian Bell was seeing the field very well.

  6. From @CDMac hard work of information. :bow:

     

    45% of the time we were in 10 personnel (last 18 plays)

    18% of the time we were in 12 personnel

    17% of the time we were in 11 personnel

    5% of the time we were in 00 personnel

    3% of the time we were in 21 personnel

    2% of the time we were in 22 personnel

     

     

    Snap counts (these are approximate due to the fact you can't see every player on tv without the all 22 view)

     

    82 Austin Wolf = 43 snaps

    3 Kwad Smith= 43 snaps

    11 AJ Coney= 38 snaps

    5 Tra Chapman= 31 snaps

    21 Fran Bickley= 22 snaps

    15 Nate Stewart= 13 snaps

    19 Andre Williams= 11 snaps

    17 Anthony Young = 7 snaps

     

    9 Manny Morgan= 39 snaps

    7 Van Edwards= 18 snaps

    22 Deltron Sands= 5 snaps

     

    36 Kobie Booker= 29 snaps

    45 Brandon Junk= 9 snaps

  7. Rodney Coe, back in Seattle, Go Hawks!

     

    Coe had seven tackles including a tackle for a loss in preseason but was not able to secure a final roster spot or a spot on the team's practice squad due to injury. He was waived injured during roster cuts and handed an injury settlement a week later securing his release. Now, the undrafted player out of Akron in 2016 will return; perhaps to help with practice.

     

  8. Per Oddsshark:

    Drew Anderson QB Shoulder is downgraded to doubtful Saturday vs. Akron

    Tyree Jackson QB Knee is downgraded to doubtful Saturday vs. Akron

     

    The State of the MAC: Quarterbacks

    Buffalo Bulls: Kyle Vantrease took over in the middle of the 14-13 loss to NIU. Vantrease's offense could not score a touchdown that game, and the freshman followed up by losing his first career start to Miami (OH) 24-14. He will continue to start until Jackson or Anderson returns from injury.

    Woe is me over here with the condo in Miami... 

    Haha, just renting. Other Florida bowl games may work for me as well. Boca would be a pretty easy train ride. St. Petersburg would be a four hour drive, but probably doable. Just win baby!
