The oldest trick this offence has

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Mateo Vandermeer TE
Draymen

C.T. Loomis threw 2 touchdowns to Mateo Vandermeer, who has now caught 68 from him. They have played 4 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

Across fourteen seasons: 4,103 yards from scrimmage, seventy-one touchdowns, 154 games. There was a 761-yard year in there. This is not it. For three clubs.

Thirty-eight, and Belfast, Northern Ireland before that. He is the first man in the building most mornings. He was a walk-on at Cutler Bible who did not have a scholarship until his third year.

The club is 5-7-1. Xavier Rollins is new. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he never takes his helmet off between series.

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 2014. The rest of the season is there too.
