Jo lead them out  of the  Huddle, read routes  again...She hissed something to Klay, just before the snap.

  La Roi...to no one's  surprise, took off deep, Mackins  Hooked Up on the right  slot, Simmons Cut  across the  Middle...Gerhart had Tibbs  waiting on the out...

  Jo reached  around  Klay  for the wrap around  draw, and he  scooted out to the Left Flat, His eyes  wide  as he searched for  the BAcker, who...was SAlcido...

Carlos took off running as soon as the snap was called, itching to take down the QB, but then he saw the back take the ball and altered his run to intercept. He had to shrug off a blocker that was trying to delay him from getting to the runner, no more than a split-second lost there as he hit the guy with authority and used his right arm to push him over on the run.

He saw Klay trying to dummy a run to the inside which could have given him the space he wanted if Carlos had not read the ploy. As he grabbed hold of the back, Carlos twisted around and wrapped his big arms around the shoulders of the runner whilst he squeezed tightly. This 'Crunch' tackle had gained him many fumbles in the past, but not this time as Klay managed to hold onto the ball as the spun to the floor.

They hit the field together and on impact Carlos released the grip and sprang up holding out his hand to help the HB up. "Got a bit excited there, hope you're alright partner", he said looking down at Klay, "just had a bad few days and that's the first hit I have been allowed to make since I got drafted."

He helped up Klay who nodded at 'Crunch' before making his way back to the huddle, and the young rookie made his way back to the line for another play.

2nd play O's 23

  Jo  shook her  head, Sims  sent in Ivan to take  Klay's  spot. Coach Howser  could be heard  all the  way  from the  Pressbox, where  the "game flims" were be taken from...he did not  sound  pleased. Coach Hebner  was taking to  Klay about getting  down field.

 Adam Looked  Over at the O's  Sideline Nilie  and Sawyer  were there  watching  as the ESPN  crew was moving to get shots for thier piece on 'making of a franchise'.

 Nilie waved  and Adam  waved back. These  two  woman  had moved closer to Alexia, the head cheerleader could see a silver charmbraclet jiggle about  as she waved..there were  some Numbers  and Japenese symbols hanging from it.

  Steele was crouched  down  and  said something to Adam as he pointed at Jo. Adam Grinned  and whacked him on the back of the helmet.

  Jo Called for Reads again, she asked Ivan to stay home..she wanted time.

  At The Snap , La Roi took off again, Deep..The corner had to Honor his speed, Clark rotated over to give him deep help. Bing, who stepped in for Worthseemed to have  Grown roots, looking over the  recievers  coming out of  thier sets.

  Mackins Stuck his pads Into the Leftside backer and  Rode him  out  and away from the  pocket

 Ivan set, looking  for the first bad guy to come through...Simmons Had  Curled behind the Middle linebacker..but  was  all-but-lost from sight...Gerhart HAd Tibbs  backpeddling, no deep help, seemed Tibbs wasn't  worried about being  beaten deep....

Second possession, same routine.  James cut across in front of Tibbs, calling for the pass as he had Tibbs behind and outside.  Would only be a gain of a few, but he figured he could leg a few more yards out.

Alexia returned James smile with one of her own and a wink as he ran past.  She watched him trot out to the field.  It was obvious that he wasn’t a rookie from the way he conducted himself.  She made a mental note to keep an eye on him and try to introduce herself to him after the scrimmage was over.  Maybe even see if he wanted to grab a drink sometime.

 On the second snapp Aaron shot out like a bull charging a red flag using a text book swim move and was in line to sack the QB when Ivan steped up just in time to get his hands under Diesel's sholder pads.

 As soon as the ball was spaped Ivan went into pass protect looking for any one to hit ad soon he got his wish he saw Desul taring through the line.Ivan steped up catching him under his sholder pads picking his feat up "Not today big guy " he grunts trying to stop the man from running him over.

 The back had some strong arms pushing him up on his toes you don't get that type of power with out alot of hours in the Gym.But the Diesel has seen that before alowing him to pusback with out resistance and turning swiftly bating his armes down and away as he rolled around him "Don't quit your day job Hulk" Aaron replys to Ivans comment as he passed.He eyed the QB waiting for her arm to come back and open him up for a strip if she don't dish it off on a screen

 Jo  rolled  a bit to her left as the De and Ivan faced off. She fired  the pass to Mackins who was  hit  as he caught it, pulling the ball in safely  and  taking the hit. They were now on the O's 31..1st down.

  The  next two plays called  by Sims, A Bubble  screen to La Roi who was hit  and  went  down quickly at the 35.

 The  second  play was a  Pass to Simmons, who had  Cut  Behind Tibbs  as Gerhart took the out  read, and the young  reciever  pulled the ball in and danced out  at the O's 42.  1st down...5 plays to go

  Alright  Jo, 5 plays to get a score..any score...make certain the ball stays with us... Sims  nodded  and they left the Huddle, the Defense  Rotated the Coverage. La Roi didn't notice, wouldn't matter  as he just took off deep...Mackins was confused  and  Hooked  about about  5 yards down field. Simmons Got  stuck hitting the  leftside backer...and Ivan  stayed hom.

  Gerhart could see a lane to the post...or he could  square out.....

Carlos nods at Diesel in the huddle, "Sure thing boss." He'd be rolling out everything on this one to get the sack or maybe hit them for a loss as it's handed off to a runner.

He took up his position and waited for the snap, his eyes on the ball.

James nodded to La Roi, glad to see the man come up with something.  He'd still be cut, but would at least have something to his credit.  When Sims made the 5 play call, James was unable to hold back a sigh.  He understood wanting to check how she'd hold under pressure, but he wasn't crazy about the method.  After all, crunches came down to time management, not plays.

At the snap Gerhart tried to size up his defender but hadn't seen much of him before.  Seeing the lane he altered course for it.  After all, empty field was hard to find on this team.

  Jo  rolled  a bit to her  left, She could see Carlos..which was bad..she should be picking up her recievers. She gritted her teeth as she saw Gerhart come into View heading  for the Post. She  fired the pass high as  an arm tried to bat the ball down, Gerhart went up for  it as Bing hit him, just a tad early..the  Ball came loose, Gut James grabbed at it on the way  down, where  he and Bing landed with a thud.

  Sims  Looked at Steele  who was grimacing  and shaking his head, then to  Adam who shrugged with a grinLooks  like  a completion to me coach...

 Ist  down on the D's44..4 plays  left

   Sims caled a play i the Huddle  and stepped out, his eyes  were watching the offense  as they lined up...at the snap, all four recievers took off  towards the endzone..the slots  squaring out  at 10...the wideouts  heading down field...The  Ivan stepped up to Hit  the Big Tackle, who pushed him  away...Jo Sidearmed the Ball under Kane's  arms  into Ivan's  belly..The Bigman turned up field  with a grin...Salcido  and Bing hitting him at the 38.

  2nd down on the D's 36  3 plays  left.

  Tibbs Came back over on Gerhart's  side  as they lined up for Reads. Jo Looked over the defesne  and called for the  snap, This Time Desul and Kane Burst though. Ivan  Nicked desul, and Kane  reached  for the  OB  As she  let it  go towards Gerhart...Tibbs, stepped in front of Gerhart to take  the ballaway, Gerhart mamaged to Hit his left arm  and the ball bounced  away...

 3rd down ball  on D's 36 2 plays left.

  Lewis called for  a time out  and  sent  some other  newer folks in, keeping the three latest arrivals on the filed..the secondary was  Green, but  fresh.

    Once more Jo called the  snap,, rolled to her  right  and Let the  ball go  down filed to  La Roi, as the  leftside backer came  charging in...Simmons  reached Up  and grabbed it at the 27, where he  was brought  down...La Roi was bumming out  on Simmons  the whole  way back, That ball was mine..what the hell you doing boy!

  Nevers  snapped,The  rule here? If you can catch it..you catch it..worry about  where it was going  after the play...Simmons  don't  know who's  back there...he's  just  catchin the ball!

  Steele  Chuckles, and  says aside to Adam,which is  more then Ducky can do anyway...

  1st down..but last play of the  control..ball on the 27...Sims  yells for Kat and the Field goal team.

 You have to get in the game don't screw this up like before .Ivan says to his-self after the last few plays he should be scolding his-self.But this play he's going all out as the play comes in from Kat he's all ears hoping that thay call a play he's involved in not just blocking "Ok guys the D is bite'n lets step it up and set them on there heals"

 Aaron made a point to congradulate Joanna on her last drive " That last drive took balls girl you held up well under presure and have one of the fassest releases I've ever seen GOOD JOB "and with a frindly pat on the back The Diesel went back to the Huddle

Kat tapped a few of the kicking team on their helmets, nodding to them as they took the field. Soon enough, they'd set into their formation, but Kat had zoned them out. Instead, she was focusing in on those gigantic yellow poles. She took a breath, and waited for the play to start. All she wanted to do was kick another field goal, that's where her focus was...solid as ice in the winter.

 the  kick was going to be  44 yards, straight  away. Everyone stood  back, some of the Defense hooted  and hollared, Sims  and Fry watched intently.

  The  Ball was snapped, Mik snagged the ball , setting it down with half a turn, and never  took his eyes off the ball, as KAt came forward..............

As soon as Kat's foot touched the ball Mik lifted his hand away and spun around to block any backs coming in to stop it. He was greeted with the sight of a jersey up close before he'd even stood up and there was a loud thump as both players collided with each other, landing in a tangled heap on the ground. Mik struggled to catch his breath for a second and finally took a look at who'd hit him - Carlos.

Getting to his feet Mik helped the young rookie up, "Nice hit, but next time try to block the ball instead of hitting the kicker or holder eh?" He gave the rookie a grin.

"Couldn't get to the ball sir, the full-back was in the way." Carlos nodded towards Ivan, "Thought I could possibly knock you and your arm may flail into it and take it off course, sir. Best I could do in a tight spot." he shrugged and dusted himself down.

They both nodded to each other and went their separate ways but as Mik walked he thought, That kid needs experience and someone to guide him past the pitfalls, the package is there but it's damn rough. As he made his way to the sidelines he stretched out his right arm as the hit had jarred his shoulder slightly.

"Oooh ya thats what I'm talking about..Nice hit Rookie...Dam nice hit"  Desul slaps Carlos's helmet in a congradulatory manner."But you got to pay more attintion you keep just russhing in like that and a Counter tray or screen will  catch you out of posistion .But good dam play anyhow" Aaron adds as thay hussle back to the 20 and start a new sceries.

 Ivan sees the backer coming in for the block Noy today pal if you wan't to get to Kat you have to go through me so Chevaleir step up in the path of the rushing backer

James walked over to Jo as Kat went for the field goal.  "Well, ya made it into field goal range in limited time with some second string players.  Not bad.  Steele's likely not as confident about starting as he was."  James shrugged, trying to think of something else to offer.

  As  the ball went through the Uprights,  Sims signaled   for all theplayers to gather  around..

  The  scorboard roared with  smoke instead of  fire for the  FG...and  the words  went  across the board,"..THANK YOU FOR COMING...COME TOMORROW FOR AUTOGRAPH SIGNINGS AFTER WORKOUTS...

  The  stadium Crew  and  securtiy showed folks  out, to the far end of the stadium...as they waited Lewis Came up to CArlos, You and Mik both blew that play...Mik should have never  turned on you...your hit  would have given them 15 and a first down...something to think about...

  He  went to stand  By Sims  and the other Coaches  Yuto  and Mr Amota  was there as well.

  Good work...best you can do under the circumstances. Some more of you earned decals today..Tomorrow is  going to be a light day...classroom stuff  starting at 8:00...after  lunch we hit the filed  for  postion owrkouts, and  some Unit  workouts...you will be issued a partial Playbook as well..it  will be added to in Mid  June when we have our manditroy workouts. looking around  at all of them he continues, after tomorrow afternoon workouts, we wil have a halfhour Autograph session for the fans  who come.. he looks down  at a clip boards  hand shakes his head, then up  at the players,we ..DO NOT....charge for autographs here...if you are one of those players that charge a fan for your autograph? Pack now..because if  i catch you..you will be gone..these people are , our life blood...and you will not  be squeezing them...Now...Yuto has something for you..."  he steps  back and Yuto  steps up with his normal grin,

  Tomorrow is light  day..and end of Voluntary workouts...most of you  wil be hunting house or apartments in the area...and , going home to see family and  friends...so..Tonight..at the Rising Son..there is going to be Dragon Party...all of Dragon FAmily is invited...There is a Hotel a block away, that we have finihed last week..but have not opened yet..any who drink too much, can crash there for  night...Dress is causel...but not look like  bum..we are Dragons..let us look proud..There will be food, Music..dancing..and drinks..all paid for By Team..Please to come..8:00   Thank you...  he gives  a bit of  a bow and leaves the area  for his Office up the stadium..Mr Amota  waves  to the players  and follows him.

 Sims  shrugs,..You heard  the man...party tonight...There is babysitting available, I am told, if you contact the Number on your locker stalls , that reads"  Team Services".. see you there...  he  moves towards  the Tunnel  Lewis  and the other coaches  following as the waved clip baords  around  Pointing at names  and such.

Alexia had gathered the squad close to the players group as the coaches made their various announcements.  At the mention of the party that night, several girls on the team jumped up and down, clapping their hands.  Alexia herself couldn't help but smile.  A party would be an excellent to mingle with the new players and get to know them better.

Before dimissing the squad, Alexia pulled them aside and went over a few things with them.  She noted areas where they needed to work on and reminded the new girls that their jobs were every bit as athletically demanding as the players so they needed to get into shape in a hurry.  The squad was expected to be back on the field tomorrow morning where they would go over the routines done today and also work on some new ones.  Then in the afternoon, they would be back on the sidelines as the players took the field.  And, of course, they would be participating in the mandatory autograph signing session as well.

Before dimissing them, Alexia reminded the ladies that they were representing the Dragonettes tonight.  She wanted everyone to have fun at the party and she wanted each and every one of them to show up looking as sexy as hell.  If they weren't smoking hot when they arrived, Alexia would have no problem sending them home before the night even started.  She told them all to come and plan on having a night that no one would soon forget.  Alexia then led the girls off the field and to the ladies locker room.

After seeing Jo had nothing to say back James nodded and walked off, waving to no one in particular.
