(S3) - Weekend PT #6 - Highs and Lows

[SwagSloth]

Ironically, for Eric Kennedy, his high point and low point of the season both came against the Philadelphia Liberty. In week 5, as the Wraiths traveled to Philly to face the Liberty, Kennedy was only given the chance to run the ball twice, netting a total yardage of exactly 0. In addition, he wasn’t able to land a single catch, causing his combined offensive yardage to be the same as if he wasn’t even on the field at all. He did record 1 pancake in the blocking unit and did not allowed any sacks, but was otherwise a non-factor in the offense. The Liberty picked up a 35-22 win over the Wraiths.

Perhaps motivated by his poor performance earlier in the season, Kennedy was fired up when the Liberty traveled to Yellowknife, where they would face the Wraiths on their home turf. Here, Kennedy only received 3 carries, but made the most of it, netting his team 14 yards on the ground. In addition, this time, he was heavily involved in the passing game, hauling in an impressive 10 catches. He walked out of the game with 45 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. On top of that, he was still an asset in the blocking unit as he recorded 2 pancakes and was once again able to prevent any defenders from getting past him to score a sack on Quarterback Chris Orosz. Fittingly, the Wraiths were also able to get a measure of revenge for their team as they defeated the Liberty 17-14 in front of the Yellowknife fans.
