I've got mail, yay!

Thought since I had a few minutes I'd tackle a couple of the comments I've gotten lately in greater detail.
First off, thanks for the support. From what I've heard some people really liked the blogging during games. I'll try and keep doing it. Saturday I think I'll be in the office, so it won't be as easy, but I'll do as much as I can.

Going to hit practice Wednesday before the guys head off to Youngstown. I'll ask about the offensive questions you guys gave me then.
For now, I'll answer a couple, but remember this is ME talking, not the coaches.

Yes, I think Everette Benjamin has emerged as the lead back. I do think Nate Pagan will still be heavily involved, but I think Everette has the job for now. That could change with one fumble or one big run, so stay tuned.

Do I think Central will start passing a lot? No. The stuff to the flat worked well, and obviously the passes to the TEs were there, but I remain unconvinced that the pass will become Coach McInerney's main weapon of choice. If the right matchups are there it could become more of a factor than in years past, but it will always be to set up the run or set up by the run.

Mac did tell me that Anthony Julies is going to be good, so we'll see if he lets him have the ball.

I'm going to write a story about P.J. Borawski as soon as we have room. High school previews have taken over this week. Great kid, and could be quite helpful.

As for my takes on the special teams... I actually disagree with the commenter. Joe Izzo has been great, and gives Central an option on offense besides going for it on 4th down. I wouldn't worry too much that they haven't blocked a kick yet. It's week 2. The punting can improve, but again, if punting is your biggest problem your team is probably ok.

Was asked about Vince Rosario's health, and it came at a perfect time because I spoke to him at the football game. He told me his hip was much worse than anyone knew last year, and he feels much better after having it done in the offseason. He expects to have a much better year this year, and he's happy to have some more shooters in the fold to take some heat off.

Other than that, I'm going to hold off on hoops for now, as I have to go layout soccer previews. HS season starts tomorrow.

Much like I mentioned Lenny Jefferson coaching hoops down the shore last winter, good luck to former CCSU soccer player Megan Kavanaugh coaching her first game at Coginchaug and to the local teams we cover. The current CCSU women's team is full of local talent, and our kids are all over the place (Plainville's Alyssa Martino scored a goal for Providence against CCSU the other day). My point simply is go see some local kids play soccer, they could grow up to be college stars.
