Crocodiles – Crusaders 31.07.2021
Seinäjoki Crocodiles otti kaksi tärkeää sarjapistettä kotikentällään lauantaina. Sarjanousija United Newland Crusaders taipui jännittävien vaiheiden jälkeen lukemin 32-25 (10-6).
Crocodiles saavutti kauden kolmannen voittonsa sarjanousijan kustannuksella, mutta helpolla pisteitä ei tarjoiltu isäntäjoukkueelle. Crusaders taisteli pelissä loppuun saakka ja hävisi nyt jo neljännen sarjapelin yhden maalisuorituksen pisteiden marginaalilla. Ainoastaan Roosters on onnistunut kukistamaan lohjalaiset selvin numeroin.
Crocodiles-hyökkäys tasapainossa
Seinäjoki Crocodilesin hyökkäys keräsi lauantain pelissä juoksu ja heittojaardeja täsmälleen saman määrän (215+215). Crocodiles aloitti pelin tuttuun tapaan Christian Powelin juoksuun luottaen, mutta pelin edetessä ja Crusadersin tukkiessa Powelin juoksuväylät pakaten fronttiinsa kahdeksan miehen seinän, tilaa aukesi hyvin Zack Greenleen heittopeleille.
Kotijoukkueen tuloksellinen pelaaja oli yllättäen laitahyökkääjä Joel Särkela. Särkelä keräsi kahdeksalla kiinniotollaan jaardeja yhteensä 153. Tämä on yksi jaardi enemmän, kuin Powellin juosten keräämä 152 jaardia. 22 kiinniottojaardinsa turvin Powell toki keräsi yhteensä jaardeja enemmän, mutta Särkelä voitti yhdysvaltalaisen TD-kilpailussa lukemin 2-1.
Crocodiles puolustus ei onnistunut horjuttamaan Crusadersin heittopeliä vastaavalla tavalla kuin Wolverines viikkoa aikaisemmin. Joukkueen ahkerin taklaaja oli takapuolustaja Antony Rodriques 5,5 taklauksellaan. Jaska Värinen keräsi saman verran taklauksia ja yhden pelinrakentaja säkityksen.
Crocodiles menetti ottelun viimeisellä neljänneksellä sivurajalle pelinrakentajansa Zack Greenleen. Nuori Arttu Aalto paikkasi miestä riittävällä rutiinilla, mutta voi vain toivo, että seinäjokisten huono tuuri yhdysvaltalaispelinrakentajien osalta ei saa jatkoa.
Crusaderin pelit viihdyttävät
United Newland Crusadersin pelit ovat seuran debyyttikaudella olleet tiukkoja ja viihdyttäviä. Kukaan ei ole enää aikoihin kyseenalaistanut joukkueen liigapaikkaa, mutta itse sarja ja nolla pistettä sarjataulukossa alkavat käydä Crusadesille kohtalokkaaksi. Joukkueen seuraava peli Royalsia vastaan tulee olemaan elämän ja kuoleman peli.
Lauantaina Robert Johnson palasi heittopelissään tasolle, joka merkitsee ketjun liikkumista rivakkaan tahtiin sivurajalla. Veteraanipelinrakentaja heitti pelissä 4 touchdownia ja saavutti 24 onnistumisellaan etenemistä 302 jaardia. Johnsonin kuluvalla kaudella saavuttamat 1051 total offence-jaardia nostavat miehen uratilaston yhteenlasketut jaardit lukemaan 24.949. Korkealla todennäköisyydellä 25.000 jaardin raja tulee täyteen Crusadersin seuraavassa ottelussa.
Crocodiles piti Kameron Harrisin juoksun kurissa, mutta heittopeleissä kerätyt jaardit nostivat miehen etenemisen lukemiin 206y. Laitahyökkääjä Finn Kearns sai lauantaina edellistä peliä enemmän tilaa ympärilleen ja keräsi kuudella kiinniotollaan 96 jaardia ja yhden touchdownin. Kolme joukkueen touchdowneista kirjattiin Harrisin piikkiin.
Crusadersin ahkerin taklaaja oli jälleen kerran yhdysvaltalaistukimies Michael Hall 8,5 taklauksellaan.

Lauantaina Seinäjoen Joupiskalla kohtaavat kaksi tappioputkessa olevaa joukkuetta. Crocodiles ajautui haasteisiin pelinrakentajavaikeuksiensa takia ja Crusadersille sarjan avausvoiton hakeminen on ollut todella vaikeaa.
Lauantain isäntäjoukkue Crocodilesilla on takana kaksi kirvelevää tappiota. Kauden toisessa Botnia Bowlissa Royals yllätti seinäjokiset pahemman kerran 15-13 (8-0) voitollaan ja myös kauden toisesta Kuopion vierailusta tuloksena toinen tappio lukemin 31-13 (17-7). Crocodiles tarvitsee kipeästi voittoja pitääkseen playoff-haaveensa elossa.
Sarjanousija Crusaders on osoittanut pelaavansa liigatasoista jenkkifutista, mutta voittoja joukkue ei ole onnistunut vielä nappaamaan. Tiukat pelit ovat kääntyneet vastustajille pahimmillaan jatkoajalla tai pelin viimeisillä sekunneilla ja nyt voittojen hankkiminen alkaa olla elämisen ehto liigapaikan säilyttämisen näkökulmasta.
Crocoilla tuloksen teon paikka
Crocodiles lähtee lauantain peliin hakemaan sarjapisteitä tiukassa tilanteessa. Joukkueen jäljellä olevista vastustajista ainoastaan Crusaders on sarjataulukossa seinäjokisten alapuolella, joten ennakkoasetelmissa voiton saavuttaminen pitäisi olla varmaa kauraa. Todellisuudessa näin ei kuitenkaan ole. Crusaders on osoittanut pelaavansa hyvää jenkkifutista ja Robert Johnsonin hyvänä päivänä pallo saa edelleen kyytiä takakentällä vanhaan tahtiin. Filip Zacokin johtamalla Crocodiles frontilla tulee olemaan täysi päivätyö liigan kokeneimman pelinrakentajan pysäyttämisessä.
Crocodilesin alkukauden peli on rakentunut vahvasti keskushyökkääjä Christian Powellin voimajuoksun ympärille. Kuopiossa Steelersin lujan puolustus piti Powellin juoksun kurissa ja pakotti tuoreen pelinrakentajan, Zack Greenleen laittamaan pallon ilmaan. Greenlee osoitti omaavansa vahvan heittokäden onnistuen Kuopiossa 14 kertaa 31 heittoyrityksellä. Kaksi syötönkatkoa kertoo paitsi Steelers-puolustuksen onnistumisista, mutta myös ajoitusten olevan vielä hakusessa laiturien kanssa.
rusaders heräsi karuun arkeen
United Newland Crusaders tuntuu yhtäkkiä heränneen karuun vaahteraliiga-arkeen. Sarjanousija voi hakea hetken tuntumaa sarjan vauhtiin, mutta jossain vaiheessa kautta tulosta on synnyttävä. Muutoin tulee noutaja. Sarjan puolessa välissä lohjalaiset ovat vailla voittoja ja kuluvan viikon aikana seurassa turvauduttiin suuriin korjausliikkeisiin. Joukkueeseen värvättiin kolme korkean profiilin pelaajaa, joista kahdella taskussaan USA:n passit. Crusadersin kannalta ikävää on se, että kukaan uusista pelaajista ei karenssisäännön takia voi osallista lauantaina peliin Seinäjoella.
Viime sunnuntain pelissä Wolverinesia vastaan Crusaders-hyökkäys keräsi toistaiseksi kauden vaatimattomimmat hyökkäysjaardinsa (173). Pelinrakentaja Robert Johnson tuntui olevan pahasti epävireessä ja vasta ottelun toisella puoliajalla näkyvissä oli heräämisen merkkejä. Lauantaina Seinäjoella Crusadersin hyökkäyspelin tulee parantua merkittävästi, mikäli nimenomaan Crocodilesin kustannuksella on tarkoitus avata sarjan pistetili.
Crocodiles lähtee peliin selvänä ennakkosuosikkina, mutta pisteet jaetaan vasta tuomarin nostaessa pallon päänsä päälle neljännen neljänneksen päättyessä.
