raider 66, saw the game with cnu.  wesley will not give up many points to anyone so the qb lose may not be as dramatic as some think.  offense has plenty of players to do the job as long as the receivers make the plays.  the big receiver came up small this week and skunkssidekick knows what i am talking about, same as last year.  i will be able to tell you more after this week, i am going to the delval vs. wash and jeff game.  the d is pretty nasty, they took some penalties which will have to be cleaned up, but overall they dominated the game.  only score was a halfback option.  still debating the 7+ drive to cap for that game, but i think they will be 4 = 0 at the end of sept.

I don't think I am going to Del Val ,W J game . If it rains it coudl be a running day.. Cook got dinged last week so I don't know if he is playing. Haven't seen anymore in the local papers about it.
Wife was in hospital again and some other family problems have come up.. I am still hoping to get to Wesley next week.

I had to do a double take on that myself.  You do follow us with Southern Va. so I kinda hoped that would be the case this year.
It looks as I will be in Dover this year.

I'll be heading out to Frostburg late Friday.  I don't think the QB issue will hold back Wesley too much.  It is not like they had only McSweeney.  Sottilaire should work out well for the team this year.  Once he gets comfortable with the WR tendencies and vice versa, I think the team will start to flow.  He did really well last year and has a cool head on the field.

Without a doubt, the DV and CAP games will be the watershed moments for Wesley's season.  I trully feel that the defensive line is better this year, if you can believe that.  So, while McSweeney's injury is a setback, it isn't a dealbreaker.  I know the players don't think so.

Well headin to Frostburg early tomorrow (gettin up at 5 AM). Hopefully the traffic isnt to bad and we can get some lunch before gametime.

Teamski, Im sure I'll see ya there 

[wesleydad]

good luck to wesley today.  i hope that changes have been made to the offense to give sottilaire the optimum chance at success.  i am heading up to delval to see them play wash and jeff.  i will let you all know what i see today for next weeks game with delval.

[wesleydad]

just got back from the delval game.  impressions, wash and jeff is not very good.  delval dominated the game.  that being said, i believe that delval will have trouble scoring on wesley.  their o line will not be able to control the line of scrimmage which will make everything they do tough to run.  they do plenty of stunting on d which can cause some trouble but they are small, wesley should be able to move the ball running or passing.  watch for the o line cut blocking on pass plays.  delval is still kicking off short like last year which will give wesley a short field to work with, not good for delval.  today the gap between 10 and 20 was large, it may be the same with the 3 and 10.

Wesley's game was both brutal and sloppy.  We had a lot of penalties and several interceptions, but the defense was again overpowering.  They blocked, IIRC, 2 punts and a field goal during the game.  I can't remember the last time that happened.  Sottilaire did get into a rhythem and nailed a couple TD shots.  He will be fine.  The penalties though.....

Brandon Wright once again was a monster out on the field.  Right on the first play, he broke away and ran for 73 yards and went on to rush for 150 yards for the game.  The second string offense with Cummings was in by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Wesley will need to be focused for Del Val.  There is no room for egos in that game!

In-region game...

Nice game Seagulls! Good to see you kick CNU's rear!

[wesleydad]

Ski, sounds like a typical game by Wesley when they play someone they overmatch.  get away with some sloppy play, but i agree the penalties have to stop, just like last week at CNU.  Glad to hear that Sottilaire did ok, stats look nice except for the 2 ints.  egos were an issue, that is not surprising.  as far as delval goes, i do not see how delval wins the game from what i saw yesterday against wash and jeff.  wesley d will make it really tough for them to score.  turnovers and penalties will certainly make the game closer if they occur.

Is Salisbury back?....Totally dominated CNU which even in a down year is a well coached team that plays hard. More impressive than the big scoring numbers is the defense. To me the d in the last 2 seasons has been very up and down....some games they would be tough and other times not, and it wasn't the scheme, because that has been the same for the last 8 or so years. The next 2 games will be real interesting with Husson on the road, as I feel most D3 teams don't play their normal games when they have to travel overnight. Then a very good Hapden Sydney team at home. If they can win these next 2, then I am a believer that they have returned to playoff contender. GO GULLS!

I was shocked to see 488 yards of rushing and only 7 yards of passing for the game.  That is incredible and yet unsettling.  I surely hope that the Gulls develop their passing game.  Being one-dimensional was their undoing in seasons past.....  


That said, congrads on the whomping.  It looks like Salisbury may be a B Pool contender if they can continue the shutouts!
