Well I had a great time on the field with the Seniors and the other parents and at the post game game party. Thank you to all the Seniors.
Also congratulations to the team for making it back to the playoffs after a down year last year.
Now about the QBs, I just have a feeling Mullin will start Saturday, just my opinion. The players and coaches spoke very highly of Fry, he's definitely the future of Wesley but right now he's also still learning. Like that 20 yard TD pass to Simpson. I asked about that play because I said it looked like both receivers were going to collide with each other in the endzone Simpson said he just ran underneath the ball and came down with it. While it was a TD it was the wrong read, Simpson just made the adjustment in his route. This is the learning phase for Fry but then on the other hand he throws a 49 yd TD pass to Simpson and does everything right. In the playoffs we won't be facing TCNJ, CNU or Willie P so do we go with Freshman that's still learning or with Mullin and Morroco and hope they can move the ball ??

I prefer Fry based on what I saw yesterday. Man can sling it. He made throws that neither Mullin or Marrocco can make. He also showed some good judgement in pulling down and running for a first down on one occasion. Also something we have not seen in 10 weeks. Which touchdown are you referring to? The 49 yard pass had Simpson and Peele right next to each other. Fry rolled out on the 20 yarder and seemed to hit Simpson right where he wanted him.  I dont think that was a bad read at least from what it seemed.

Got my plays crossed. My mistake. It was on the 49 yd TD pass. The main receiver on that play was Simpson but he was supposed to run a fly route and cut out but when he turned his head he saw where the ball was heading and stayed underneath it which was the reason for him and Peele almost colliding. Even Coach Azz joined the conversation and told Simpson joking around...I said go out...out..out. We all laughed about it but again these are the little things Fry will understand with more reps.

Gotcha... either way that was a bomb. Itll come down to who the coaches think will give Wesley the best chance to win. If there is one position that Wesley handles well, it is the Quarterback position. The coaches will make the right call on Saturday, whether its Mullin, Marrocco or Fry, to give all those guys who've done all the reps at practice and lifted all the weights in the offseason the best chance to advance as a team.

Both QBs played really well yesterday, but that was CNU. I worry that the offense gets to stagnant with Mullin. They just have long stretches where nothing happens and that gets frustrating. Can't have that happen if they want to win any games moving forward.

Congrats to Salisbury and Wesley! I will be following as they both advance into the playoffs! Nicely done.

Likewise, I'll be rooting for our NJAC members in the playoffs ... give 'em hell!

Nice set up in the brackets for both Salisbury and Wesley.  Both should win first round match ups, well hoping Wesley keeps playing strong d to carry the o, but the second round games look good.  Salisbury v Union and Wesley v Del Val would settle the ERFP arguments as to who is the top team.  Union and Del Val have tough first round opponents so there are no guarantee who will play whom.  Good luck to both NJAC team.  I may make the trip to Dover to see Wesley live for the first time this year.

I've only seen two d3 games this year and Framingham State was one of the teams I've seen.  I wouldn't look past these guys.  Big and well coached with some decent skill guys.  I'm guessing Wesley is the better team but I was impressed with Framingham this year.

Framingham is always tough.  If Wesley is good they should beat them, but that is a big IF.

Wesley should've actually lost to Endicott who destroyed Framingham. I know it was earlier in the season, but I agree Framingham has a puncher's chance in this one.

Defense will keep Wesley in it. The question will be if Wesley's offense can score enough.

Framingham is the new aged Curry Spicy Boyzzzzz of the early Millennium. They've been here enough, they play a solid OOC schedule each year. They are one of the few(if only one) that has my respect.

  I think that Wesleys size and speed wore down Framingham last time they played. Wesley has the ability to bring on fresh D linemen. The O line is all sophs except except for Hughes and they are big also. And they have a couple of big backs who can grind it out.
  If Framingham can match or at least slow down the speed of Wesley they may stay close but in the end they are over matched

Quick check shows that Framingham only gave up 14 to Brockport in week 2 and both TD's were interception returns.  It looks like they play pretty good defense.  They gave up 4 int for TD in the first 2 weeks.  If there QB play has improved they have a chance.  If it was a result of Endicott and Brockport being the toughest teams they played then they will struggle with Wesley's defense too.  They also gave up 55 to Endicott compared to Wesley only giving up 17.  It would seem that Framingham will have trouble scoring.  If they don't get to 20 can they win the game?  Probably not.

Framingham is not as big as they once were, but they aren't small either.  I believe the team that played Wesley in that game in 2015 had some big overweight boys on the oline and dline.  They aren't that big this year.  Their defense is tough but I think you can throw on their corners with a good QB/WR combo.  Their interior LB/DL play the run hard.  Their OC is one of the most well respected young coaches in all of New England and runs a very good spread offense.  Their QB has gotten better from what I see online, but has thrown some bad balls early in the season, including an INT on a bubble screen vs Endicott.

Fun NJAC trivia fact:

Wesley started its football program in 1986.
