The Thrashers welcomed rivals, the Kaulsdorf Kayfabe (nee, New York Angry Beers) into the Thrasherdome in Week 1. To the credit of the Kayfabe ownership, the former angry ones kept it competitive for most of the match, but couldn't quite hang on with the pace of the home team.

Although the run game could never get going, QB Charles Reese threw for 308 yards with 2 TDs and 0 Interceptions; however, over a hundred of those yards went to checkdowns to RB Clarence Thompson--who had 174 all purpose yards.

The defense played softly--a few QB hurries but no sacks--while Paul Crabtree CB pulled in a Interception.

Injuries on the offensive line left over from the preseason are still impacting the team, but the line held up well, only giving up two sacks.

Week 2

The Thrashers got another home game, and this time hosted the Terre Haute Terror. This was a revenge game from the whooping the Terror put on Arkansas from the beginning of last season. The Thrashers came out ahead, but just barely. Two missed FGs by Rookie Butch Coolidge didn't help either.

On the Offensive side, Reese threw for another 2 TDs and 200 + yards, but also threw his first pick of the year at the end of the first half. The run game was alive and kicking, however. Sorenson picked 117 yards on the ground, and Shafer complimented him with another 65. The pair had 7 runs of over 10 yards. In the passing game, Sorenson picked up another 93 yards on 8 catches, which makes it the another 200 all-purpose yard game for the RB. At this pace (though a small sample size and health warranting), Sorenson could easily have another 2000 all-purpose yards season again.

The defensive allowed a 55 yard TD, and once again, got some QB pressure but resulted in 0 sacks. The Thrashers aren't winning the turnover battle thus far either.

LT Israel Hubbard suffered a concussion as well, so the offensive line will do some more shuffling. All things considered, the line held well during week 2's game.

Next week, the Thrashers will travel to the Frozen Tundra of Wisconsin to take on the SnowSharks.
