CASE FOR DEFENSIVE CHANGE IN 2010

In the Tradition Football League, the average quarterback rating for the top five quarterbacks is around 80.  The average quarterback rating for the top five quarterbacks in the NFL in 2009 was well over 100.  I think we really need to look at going back to average/average in 2010.

Aaron Rodgers          UTI     83.7
Jeff Garcia               LVS     80.1
Peyton Manning        FVF     79.6
Donovan McNabb     MVG     78.2
Jason Campbell        RIC      78

Game of the Week - Week 13

The Tradition Football Game of the Week pits the (9-3) Utica Spartans versus the (10-2) Staten Island Gems.  This is a rematch of the Week 7 scorefest that saw Staten Island defeat Utica 55-48.  In that game, there were eight touchdown passes, four each by Aaron Rodgers (Utica) and David Garrard (Staten Island).  It also included one punt return and two kick return for touchdowns.  This promises for a stellar showdown in Staten Island. 
Player of the Week - Week 12
Derrick Ward
Fox Valley Firebirds
 32 carries 220 yards
Stopped Woodbridge 10 game winning streak
