The oldest trick this offence has

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Bruiser Kirkland TE
Quarrymen

R. Pennington found Bruiser Kirkland 2 times. That is 34 together, and nobody in this league has anything better. They have played 7 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

3,084 yards over seven seasons. Thirty-four touchdowns. 116 games. He got to 584 once. Not this time.

Twenty-nine, and Verdigris, Kansas before that. Ask anybody: he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

The club is 3-4. Donte Massengale is in year four of it.

One more thing: he collects vinyl and is insufferable about it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 7 of 2019. The rest of the season is there too.
