Coach Young: “I gotta tip my cap to Coach Maddux, she had her Maddawg Tight End squad fired up and ready to play in their inaugural BHFFC game. The Undertaker logo is a welcome addition to the BHFFC and I look for the Maddawg’s to be a tough competitor in the Lightning Division. Fortunately, we took advantage of some rookie mistakes during MNF as Knowshon Moreno, a former Young Gun running back, fumbled early and was held in check by our run blitzing defense. We were very lucky to escape with a win.”
Chris Berman, ESPN: “Coach Young, what was going through your head when you lost your kicker on the opening kickoff of the season?”
Coach Young: “Well Chris, every season I try to take kickers and defenses early enough that I get one of the top 3. I feel that people underestimate the value of these positions. My defense is the reason I won this week as the Jets returned a blocked punt for a TD. When Kaeding went down, I knew we were in trouble. Those 8-12 points a kicker normally gives you are invaluable to winning a game. I give Kaeding credit for trying to show his toughness by making a tackle, but he paid the price for it. Thankfully, our defense stepped up, made some big plays, and put the clamps on the running game in the 4th quarter.”
Joe Biddle, Tennessean: “Speaking of your defense, how did you feel they would do under the lights of Monday Night Football with such a daunting task at hand?”
Coach Young: “Daunting task? What the hell kind of question is that? We build our entire off-season practice schedule around preparing ourselves for the end of the game. We will not be outworked and it showed at the end of the game this week. We have three-a-day practices virtually year round. We even have a day care center on site so our guys can see their families during one of the 30 minute breaks we give the players. Other than that, they are here to work from 6 am until 8 pm. Our defense still seemed fresh and the Maddawg’s O-line and backs were totally winded. Knowshon Moreno was our scout team back last year, so our D has gone up against him many times. I didn’t really see the task as “daunting”; I knew we would shut him down!”
Tony Stinnett, Cannon Courier: “Coach Young, you are facing another new team to the BHFFC this week with Ethan Hudson and his Carmichael’s Crusaders coming to Hell’s Half Acre, will you be seeking to send the Hudson family a message after the playoff loss to BJ Hudson’s Pessimist’s squad?”
Coach Young: “Tony, thanks for not asking any questions about Oakland High School Baseball so far this year. Yes, there will be some level of vengeance on our minds, but we have to focus on the task at hand and save that anger for week 13 and the Pessimist’s. Coach Hudson is bringing in a team with two of Aaron Rodgers top weapons to try and negate our high powered passing attack, so we have to prepare for that. We are an underdog at home and we have to be focused and ready to attack like a crazed portuguese man-o-war! We have to get heat on Matthew Stafford and have our D come up with some turnovers again.”
Coach Young, Closing: “We have to stay focused on this game and not be looking ahead to Safety Blitz and Tebow’s Youth Group which are the next two games. Those will be fierce; bloody conflicts, but Coach Hudson is new to the league and will be looking to make a statement about where his expansion team stands in the pecking order. We showed one new team that it takes more than “beginner’s luck” to take down Young Gun Football and we plan to show Coach Hudson more of the same. Thanks and remember to come out to Hells’ Half Acre early this Sunday for the free Metallica concert and salute to our Armed Forces.”
