Last Night Follow-Up

I agree with much of what Q said. Here are my additional thoughts:

OFFENSE

-Much better movement after throws
-Much better continuation cuts
-Much better defense
-Still not enough conversions, you should be scoring almost every time without turns against our 2nd string D line with only 2 handlers. As Pete noted, way too many turns still. It's easy to forget those mistakes when you end up scoring the point anyway, but you can't. We were getting 3 or 4 turns on a point and continuing to give it back until you scored. A top D line is NOT going to give you that many chances once they get a D. Let's go.
-This reminds me, I think we should have mixed lines on Saturday, so that the first string players are up against first string players. I'm afraid some of our problems on O are stemming from the easier matchups in practice. Just a thought.

DEFENSE

-Overall, not great. Lots of getting burned deep, lots of breaks, and lots of just lazy play, particularly on the open side. Honestly, to get better, you have to want it in practice. Let's all make more of an effort on Saturday.
-Our offense was looking really nice in the 2nd game. Lots of solid continue cuts, especially deep. Chooch and I had open looks all throughout the game. We under threw or missed those cuts way too much, but keep doing what you're doing. We're gonna work those kinks out.
-HOWEVER, don't forget the fundamentals. Run through the disc. Catch it with two hands. Make sure you've got it before you turn upfield. If we had done these three things better, we would have scored twice as many points as we did.

GENERAL

-Don't try to do too much. Know what your role is. At the same time, work on things in practice - that's what it's for. That's why I kept turning it on hucks - I know I need to fix my problems, particularly in the rain, so I kept putting it even though I'd been having trouble. We can all try to add to our arsenal during practice.
-But, remember to dump on 5 and be realistic. If you don't have a flick huck and haven't been working on it, go throw in the park before trying to rip it during a scrimmage.
-Get hyped.
