SJR Coverage

The SJR has a pretty good-sized article on the Stallions in todays paper. Hopefully the Stallions coverage in the paper will continue as the season goes on. The story is here: http://www.sj-r.com/sections/sports/stories/112030.asp

Coach Gade was quoted as saying:
"All little things, I'm not real worried because everything that (the defense) did wrong, we can correct,'' Gade said.

I agree with Gade's comments. Several people I've talked to since the game last Saturday have been pretty down on the Stallions. But, like Coach Gade, I didn't see that many major issues. Fix the QB position, throw in a little more run game, and get the DBacks to communicate - and the Stallions would have won that game last week.

Funny that Burns says some of the same things as I did about George Wilson. Wilson definitely needs to be more involved in the offense this week.

The article starts off by quoting some players that tried out for the team this year. Apparently they believe some favortism was involved in the player selection process. Just from reading the few facts listed I don't think the players quoted have a valid point at all. If (as a coach or general manager) I had an opportunity to get players that had some previous experience versus those that didn't...I would take the players with experience every time. I don't know what experience, if any, the guys that were quoted had...the article doesn't say that.

I hope to have the pics from Saturdays game (I didn't take as many as I'd have liked) posted tonight. Sorry for the delay. It's been a busy week for me.

I also hope to finish the review of Saturdays game - and post a preview of this weeks game. The Stallions have a tough task this week in facing Port Huron. But I think that the Stallions are up for the challenge. I have confidence that Coach Gade can make some adjustments from last week and give the Pirates a run for their money!
