Week 2 in the books and change the way you do things !




ESDK 12
LIONS 00



With week 2 in the books looks like the esdk is not ready to give up just yet ! They were in attack mode from jump , they jumped all over the lions with an aggressive run stopping d and never letting up getting the shutout . After a tough lose in week one this was a good way to rebound they really needed this win to boost morale , and you'll say but its only week one but after all the hype for the season in the preseason and all the talking they needed to get off to a fast start . The qb#15 for esdk is hitting his stride and is a very good qb he reads the field well and moves well in and out of the pocket , the defense was the story stuffing the lions play after play props to them again this is the kind of effort that they must show night in and night out to really be a threat !

Panthers 23
Tribe 00

And the panthers are of to a fast start ! 2 weeks 2 wins and 2 shutouts , i don't know whats in the water out there in Suffolk but the panthers are starting to show a whole lot of people they may be for real . They are pitching shutouts on d and the offense is looking well balanced and tough to contend with right now they are the leaders of the (Rafl) long island division and man they look really good , the running back is for real and the qb is looking really good but the d has been stellar and if this trend keeps up week 3 the Esdk may have a huge war on there hands should be a hard hitting action packed game ! The coaching staff is doing a great job in game prep and that may very well be the key to their success they are very well prepared right now and the sky is the limit for them !

punishers next game august 1st flemington generals (Cfa) playoff team from 08 7-3 overall record should be a good game !

Week 1 of the regular season is in the books !!!!!!!

TRIBE 15
Esdk 00


players of the game for the Tribe the kicker and the defense for the shutout .


Upsets all over the island ! boy oh boy for a team to come in to the regular season on a bit of a low , loosing 4 out of 4 in the preseason and then to get shutout in the last one anyone would say that it does not look good for them but being who they are the esdk down played all of the loses and said its just the pre season , well the pre season sets the tone for the regular season ! and if there pre season is any indication it's going to be a long year for the esdk ! No one i spoke to thought they would win , the tribe came out and played a complete 60 min game the kicker was big for them guy has a boot , he was 3 for 3 and one was from 47 and would have been good from 52 , again for the 3rd game in row the tribe d was the story pitching a shutout 2 of the last 3 games , i don't care how much you move the ball if you don't score it does not matter ! the tribe are a feisty group stout and fast up front and they seem to like the system they play which helps a lot , on the offense Khalid has a few athletes to play with and he knows football so it is paying of early for them . The Esdk look like they have no clue over the last 4 games they have scored 12 points on offense and the d has not fared much better , they have scored 00 points in 2 of the last 4 and you really have to ask yourself is it the fact they have no coaching . i mean its always good to have an extra pair of eyes to let you know what is not working maybe its just to much to own, coach and play on the team , and then you have guys playing both ways, i like iron man football but guys are going to break down even the great players suffer from fatigue ! gotta get a coaching staff and let them handle game day and game prep and game plan its only week 1 in the rafl but cant let all the spring hype and preseason work go down the drain with another loosing season !

lions 16
panthers 18

players of the game - the panthers rb #5 simmons
and the defense for the grit to stop everything in the second half

The lions the qb ed dixon #16

Now i must say this you have to find a way to win a game where you lead 16-00 , there is no way even a 1st yr team should not give up 18 unanswered pts. you have to find a way to seal the deal it looks like it maybe a rough 1st season for coach brooks and his staff , they have lost a total of 4 games right now they are tied with esdk for loosing streaks both teams need to right the ship if long island football as a whole has a chance to put a stamp on this season . the lions jumped out the gate fast looking like the pitbulls of last yr ! then all of a sudden the wheels fell of the bus the panthers regrouped and made a great comeback the defense led the way stopping the lions at every turn and the offense followed suit scoring on running and passing plays , have to wonder if the coaching staff of the lions . #5 Simmons looks like the real deal he is silky fast and runs hard , but the d was the story to regroup and lead the charge like that takes grit and determination and that's what the panthers showed ! all in all it was a good opening week for the long island teams and they all have high hopes for the season and i for one would like to see all the teams make the playoffs but we will see , lots of fast paced hard hitting action out there good to see have a greatday untill next week !

punishers next game will vs the flemington generals in flemington nj the generals play in cfa and were the leading defense of that league last season ans a playoff team should be a good matchup !
