Pucilowski's Big Challenge

Gentleman,

Here is an anonymous post sent to me. I fully support free speech and so here it is....

Andrew Pucilowski had the biggest game of his career in last year’s Turkey Bowl. Those closest to him always knew about his ability, but he still did not have the respect of opposing defenses. A lot has changed in a year. That sets up the stage for this year’s game and the big question surrounding “Pooch”. Can he have the same type of performance being the focus of the opposing defense? The answer is simply: no. Don’t get me wrong, Pooch has perhaps the best hands and great size to go along with good athleticism. But there is a difference when the defense designs there attack to shut you down. Pooch will not have the type of game he did last year, but the beauty of this game is that he does not need to in order for his team to win.
2 years ago Dan DeGeorge earned Offensive MVP honors. That year the opposing defense, (which included the likes of Selfy, Scott and Pooch) did not have an answer for DeGeorge. Last year was a different story. DeGeorge came in as the 3rd ranked player and was a practical no show on offense. Ferramosca was able to shut him down with the help of Tom over the top. DeGeorge’s team won the game. That’s the point when it comes to Pooch. He does not need to have another huge game, he will simply need to have a couple of big plays when the opportunities presents themselves.
Last year Scott was the number 1 overall draft pick. Scott has had much success over the years as a receiver. As expected, he drew the game’s best corner in DLo for the entire game. Scott did not have spectacular numbers. However, he was able to beat Dan once over the top for a receiving TD, helping his team overcome a 4 TD deficit late in the game. This will need to be Pooch’s role considering he will be drawing DLo for most, if not the entire game this year. No one will have a huge game against DLo, but a couple of big plays could be the difference between a win or a loss.
Pooch will still be a difference maker in this game, especially if the game comes down to the wire like it did last year. Pooch will not have the numbers he did last year, but that doesn’t mean his team won’t have the same result as they did last year, a win.
