Re: Travel times

Ben grinned at the girl's question.

"You clearly pay attention. OK, with a man/zone combo it gets more fluid. Best analogy I can come up with is a weighted decision tree... sorry, I was a computer science major at college. Um. You have a range of options, some are more likely than others. The whole team has agreed on this weighting, but the men on the field... er, players on the field... make the choices of where to go based on the situation that they can see in front of them."

Re: Travel times

  the talks  and signings  go on for about 45 minutes..when Sims  comes down . as slight smile on his  face as he says,..Alright folks...time  for my Dragons  to get to bed.....I am happy  we were able to help with your program....  he stared at the DJ, Yuto  's smile  vanished as he looked at the man.

 ..Maybe  next time, You will make certain to call our  PR people...we do not ..'drop the ball' like the Colts seem to have...


 some of the Kid s cheered, a few Booed...but they weren't  idiots...they knew the Dragons  took  some extra time  for them...time the Colts   would not have given them.

 Make  sure you folks  tune into the GAme Sunday...  he made the Motion for the pLAyers to  start to leave.

 Adam retrieved  his disc  and shut down the Vid Machines for Ben

"Thank you, Adam," said Ben. He shook a few more hands and headed for the door.

"Sorry, guys. Good little Dragons have to go to bed if they're to be fresh to play tomorrow."

Re: Travel times

  the  Kids  were  being  herded out of the Hotel now..The DJ   didn't leave  until all the Kids  were gone...meanwhile  two  local TV stations had  reporters there..One outside , on , still in the Dinning room..both were spouting off  about how the Dragons took their time to make a special night for the Kids  after the Radio station  screwed up ..

  some Kids  were  interviewed  and Waved  pics  of  Players as they cheered and grinned.

..............................

  waiting for their chance to  take the elevator  Up, Bronk looks  at  Ben and Lucas,...that wasn't cool...not one bit...Damn DJ would have had those kids  get screwed over, just to try and  make us look bad?...what the hell's that!

Lucas shrugged.  That was probably their idea, he said.  Anything to give us a bad name before we whoop up on them.

"And here was me thinking it was an innocent miscommunication. Makes me feel a bit sick that someone would do that on purpose."

Re: Travel times

  The Buses arrive at the Airport, equipment loaded on  passengers loaded on. People settle down for the ride.

 Sims  calls  Duke, Steele, Bronk and Masterson  up to the  first level of the plane to meet with  Him and the QB coach.

 When the 4 of them  reach the  Coaches level, they see the Large screen with some films  being run as the QB Coach, RB Coach, Rs  Coach  O-line Coach and Sims   are there.

  Sims  introduces   Aiden to everyone.

 Steele Looks a little taken aback at another QB on board...Duke doesn't seem to Mind..and Adam..is well?  Adam...

Re: Travel times

  The Coach  took a deep sip of his   coffee, then stood up holding the cup in two hands  as he looked at the Screen.

 ..It is no secret to anyone, what we do on offense. We attack..we move and attack more...

  The Skins are going to try to come after us...they'll blitz...they'll try to take  away our screens, so the wrap around draws  and   passes tom the flats, and deep balls will be  our main fare , i', thinking...

 He looked over that the 4 men and said,Bronk? You'll still have the wildcat package, but i don't know how much we'll use it. You'll be spending the day as a wide out,...

  Duke will start  and play the   1st half..maybe a series into the second..The Steele  will come in....Masterson, YOu'll take  Bronk's  duties  as Holder, and you'll be doing the 4th quarter  snaps....now..You three?>..are more or less sitting ducks out there...none of you are  'mobile'..but  all of you have the release and the arm....I'm  going to Keep  Bronk  on the outside , You'll have  Ben  at TE or H-BAck..and Lucas the  same...Klay will  runt he ball  some as well as Mik....

 He shrugged,..the other receivers are going to have to step it up.....remember..we don't have to  score everyplay...but we do  need to move it...every incomplete pass helps them....

  You boys  go head  down and relax, or study or what have you...by the time we land,  we should have a decent handle on the game plan.

Re: Travel times

Aiden waits for when everyone leaves then talks to Coach Sims.
"Just get me in the game coach.  I know that I have come here as a quarterback but I know I can help this team anywhere you put me just give me a shot."

Aiden grimaces a bit awaiting an expected backlash but he wants coach to know he has the drive he just needs the opportunity.

After his conversation he goes back to studying and watching film.  If he notices any weaknesses he hasn't heard others talk about or that may impact some of his teammates he makes an attempt to share that with them.

Re: Travel times

   Sims  was Just sitting down Reaching  for  a notebook as Aiden spoke to him. He nodded slowly as he  eyes studied the man, then replied,..You just got here , Son.  we might flex you out  as a WR sometimes. Especially  if you'er on the  field when Bronk takes the wildcat?....You can take his  slot. The more you can do, the more you can help us....help yourself....help Jacksonville. Now?..Before we left Bronk and some of the others where in the film room they found a 'tell'...see  what they came up with.

 The Blackman next to him Grinned,Coach need your   Input?

 Bronk had  just snapped the lid on a soda and pointed with the finger  of the hand that held the can,Aiden's taking the 4th quarter snaps...I'll be WR   the whole game, unless they want to run some wildcat...

 Then  he nods to the  BIg GUys,Aiden?  This  Is Miles  our Center, and the  right guard  Sloan...

Re: Travel times

Aiden smiles and nods as coach speaks.  He then clears his throat and responds with excitement in his eyes.  "I just want you to know how focused and determined I am coach.  I played Defensive End in College along with Quarterback so if you care to use me that way i'm your man.  Anyway you can get me on the field i'm up for.

Aiden thanks coach for talking with him and heads back toward the film room when he runs into Bronk and a few others.

Aiden reaches out a hand to Miles and Sloan. "Thank you in advance gentlemen for keeping my pretty face unscathed by those monsters on the defensive line.

Re: Travel times

Aiden gives Cindy a warm smile.  "Hello Cindy, its a pleasure to meet you.  As you probably already know my name is Aiden Masterson.  As to your question theres no plans to lose a quarterback that I am aware of.  I am merely here to help this team in any way that I can.  In college I also played defensive end so I can be versatile.  I'm glad the Dragons saw my talent and didn't look past me because I went to such a small school in college.
