2005 LFFL Week 3 Wrap Up

In the battle of the unbeatens, Chewton got the W and remained undefeated in a high scoring, close game against Allentown. Thanks to their loss, Allentown moves into a four way tie for second place. Sharing the 2-1 record is Latrobe, Prospect and Greenville, each winners this week in easy games.

Speaking of easy wins, Prospect beat Edinburg by more than 40 points.

Also of note, Farrell picked up their first win of the year this week, beating a weak Akron squad. The toughest loss of the week, besides Allentown, was Indiana, who just cannot seem to get it started. Hopefully, they’ll turn it around in the WR department.

On the transaction front, there were many add/drops but notable ones include: Prospect dropped Matt Hasselbeck and Ron Dayne to pick up the Denever defense and Ben Troupe. Greenville dropped tight end Alex Smith and Kyle Johnson and added Erron Kinney and Ron Dayne.

This week saw the first trade of the season, as Koppel and Indiana exchanged players. Koppel sent Indiana Roy Williams, Troy Williamson, and Willis McGahee, in exchange for Plaxico Burress, Chris Chambers and Warrick Dunn.

Who gets the better end of this one? Well, not to pass judgment, but Indiana can easily plug in Roy Williams in place of Plaxico Burress, then slide McGahee into the flex spot for vast improvement, but if Koppel thinks that Burress is that big of an upgrade over Williams, and that Warrick Dunn will suddenly start scoring touchdowns on the level of McGahee, they are sorely mistaken. This trade may shift the balance of power and send these teams in opposite directions. Only time will tell though.
