Well, I've tried man-to-man and it doesn't work as my secondary is soooo slow. Then I try to play some zone and my secondary has such low awareness ratings that they don't know what's going on and the offense easily finds gaping holes in the zone. I blitz some as well. For the most part I play zone, though, because it is almost impossible to play man-to-man because it's obviously hard for my 78 speed CB to covers WRs with 90+ speed.

Yeah, I'm ready for recruiting! I'm sick of this horrid defense!

I run a west coast style offense and pass probably 60-70% of the time. I like a pocket passer type QB that are accurate, basically like a Brian Brohm, Payton Manning, Tom Brady, ect. I may switch to a spread offense eventually, though, once I get more speed on offense. Also, I may run more if I can recruit a high quality runningback.

On defense I run a 3-4. I usually run a 4-3, but decided I would try to go with a 3-4 in this dynasty just for something different. I occassionally go with a 3-3-5 as well like WVU runs.

Kemp Falls Victim to Injury Again as Colonials Lose to Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, OH - With Chad Kemp back from injury, you wouldn't expect any more musical quarterbacks like we have seen lately. Or would you?

Coach Frizzell decided to make the move to a more spread-like offense to try to get more shotgun formations and hopefully protect the quarterback more, a problem which has nagged the Colonials this year. The plan worked very well early as the Colonials racked up a 7-3 lead and were inside the Cincinnati 10 yard line looking to score yet again.

However, that was the turning point of the game as Chad Kemp was nailed after passing the ball and fell victim to a mild concussion. Team doctors held him out for the game, but said he would be available to play next week. Up to that point, Kemp had a marvelous game as he went 9-14 for 85 yards through the air and rushed five times for 50 yards a touchdown on the ground.

"I just don't know why he [Kemp] has so much trouble staying healthy," said an exasperated Coach Frizzell as his team drops to 2-7 on the season. "He had some injury issues even before his big injury as he had some stingers that caused him to lose a couple games here and there in the first few games. I just don't know what to do because he is a great quarterback when he can play."

In came interception-machine Marques Prater to replace Kemp. "I tried to run the ball at first to keep things safe and Prater from throwing picks, but our offense stagnated and after falling behind 19-14," commented Coach Frizzell. "I knew we had to be more aggresive and we had to pass the ball."

Sure enough, on that very possession Prater launched a wild pass wild being nailed by a defensive lineman that sailed 20 yards off target and landed right in the hands of a Bearcat defender.

"I thought here we go again," said Coach Frizzell. "I jerked him promptly because I knew there was plenty more picks where that came from. He's a pick-machine and there's no getting around that."

From then on, it was over. Cincinnati rolled on and, after falling befind 14-3 early on, scored 33 unanswered points to romp the Colonials 36-14, even though the Bearcats were behind 14-13 at halftime.

Backup quarterback Ronald Fowlkes started for Cincinnati since starter Dustin Grutza was out with an injury.

Another Game, Another Huge Loss

TAMPA, FL - Another game equals another loss for the Boston Colonials as they drop to a horrid 2-8 (0-5) on the year with only two games remaining on the schedule. They took on a very surprising South Florida team that sported a 8-1 record entering the game.

Boston was never really in the game as South Florida was simply too good. Chad Kemp returned to the lineup and played relatively well, but three three costly picks. He was injured for a quarter in the second half when he went down with a pinched nerve. "He won't stop getting injured. It's ridiculous!" exclaimed Coach Frizzell.

Pick-machine Marques Prater came in to go 0-3 with an interception before Coach Frizzell gave up on the game and just decided to run the clock out on the ground.

Boston's defense was horrible as usual and gave up many huge plays. The offense's seven turnovers certainly did not help out the defense any, however.
