Welcome back to Monday Morning Waffles with me, Ace Whirls. So far this column has gone swimmingly. Week 4 led to more questions than answers for some teams (Vegas) but for others, it was business as usual.
With that in mind, let's get to the recap.
DUB @ DEL: It was another dominating performance by the Destruction dropping 48 points on the hapless Dubliners. Darius Rider threw for 313 yards. Ernest Campbell ran for 113 yards and JoJo Benton had 127 receiving yards. On the Celts side, they did have the lead at half time and Justin Dobzinski had an interception returned for a touchdown but the Celts are still a work in progress.
EDM @ PHI: If you told me Daniel Thompson-Rider was going to start this game, I would have been like whaat! but he did indeed start but let's be honest, Edmonton's rock is Chris Noel, and even if he goes down there's still Herm Johnson. Dangerous Team. As for the Iron, Ivan Inferno played mediocre and then backup Travis Switzer trumped his performance. There could be another QB controversy in the WAFL...
BOS @ CIN: Funny way the Maulers won, some solid defense and a little luck from Chester Hilton and Rudy Foster. Though the Sentinels led all three statistical categories, the Maulers pulled it off. Joe Sloan looked very erratic at times. Odd situation for Kyle Walsh to figure out.
OSK @ LOU: In a potential World Bowl scenario, the Wolfpack showed why they are champion favorites. Sacking Conner Pyatt... I forgot how many because he was on the ground so much. Another solid outing by the Wolfpack who surged the win late in the 4th. Louisville, you're the one's to beat.
QCC @ MIN: Hey! There's some offense in New York after all but I came just short of the upset of the week as Minnesota held on 20-17. Joey Redfeather outplayed AJ Blaylock throwing for 235 yards. Ahmad Price beasted his way to 131 rushing yards and Larry Rooney had a feasible 90 receiving yards.
STI @ LVD: Well... if you're Vegas, you're just scratching your head. If you're Stirling you're feeling mighty confident. Dmitri Kruschev carved the supposed stout Diablos defense for 118 yards. But those Diablos still forced turnovers and held Stirling to field goal attempts. However this QB Battle must end, both played mediocre but it would help if the receiving core (which dropped 13 passes) was more consistent. Owner Eric Walsh is suppose to announce the starter this Saturday, December 22nd.
This concludes Monday Morning Waffles.
One more week of the preseason, many questions left to be answered.
