  1. I'm going to go watch a well coached team on Friday night. I'm going to see Watauga County (Boone, NC) play Hickory in the first round of the playoffs and then watch App State vs Marshall Saturday night. Completely fed up with the Red Rebels and the coaching staff. No creativity on offense. It's mind boggling they continue to struggle to get plays called before the play clock runs out. The Defense is stuck on stupid with their scheme and defensive approach-they don't attack anything. LBs never get down hill, the db's seem disinterested in hitting anyone or supporting the run d. Special teams are anything but special. Very frustrating to be a Red Rebel fan currently. I hope for the seniors on the team they ball out during the playoffs. I hate they been stuck with the same, lame coaches for 4 years..............................

    As the bobcat fans appear not to visit coacht, let’s assume it will be a good game and find something else to discuss this week.

    How about the Soph and Frosh classes? I’ve been to a few practices and have been impressed with the number of solid looking young guys impacting practice. Many of them are going to contribute this year. This particular Senior class has a few difference makers but doesn’t seem as deep to me. With #7 having a few weeks off, it is an opportunity for a lot of guys to expand their roles.

    I heard there's 63 kids on the Freshman team, supposedly the most ever. The fellas gotta start hydrating today to beat the heat and keep cramps away!

    One reason linebackers line up deeper today is because the back is much deeper than in the day. The good backs are given a hole number and maybe they will get there. They are creative. Your D front is not really looking to make the play but 3 men drawing 5 blocks. The studs will still make a play upfront.LB’s shuffle and go.

    Totally disagree. Haven't seen any teams running I formation in years (except Freedom HS, Hickory NC-they ran smoke stack I) Most teams run some kinda of version of spread and the back lines up even with the QB and that's at 4 yards. Never seen any high school teams who's 3 man D-line could take on 5 blocks!:roflol:

    Can't completely agree with you. 3-4 defense with disciplined linebackers (maintaining their gap responsibility) may not be quite as effective when you need to keep from giving a yard, but 1'st and 10 (or so) with adequate DB's, and I like the freedom to flow sideline to sideline better than the 4-3. Also depends a little on the offenses you frequently face, and a lot on the preference of the coaches and available personnel in the smaller classifications. Bottom line is if you sell it to the kids that it works, and know how to put kids in position to succeed, either one can look much better than the other in any given situation. Sort of like the sentiment about the offense Creasy ran at Trousdale... most "experts" said that it wouldn't work in 6A...not that it's the best or worst, just that Creasy knows it inside and out and the players have no doubt that it will work.

    The game is won and lost at the LOS. If you only have 3 dudes on the LOS, you're gonna get trucked! You're correct that attacking LB's can overcome the scheme. However, when the LB's stand at 5 yards from the LOS and don't get down hill, it's impossible to effectively stop the run. 

  5. I think most teams went to the 3-4 to stop the spread. My issues are that:

    1. there aren't enough dudes on the LOS

    2. there aren't enough dudes in "the box"

    3. when the other team gets inside the 20 and especially inside the 15, 4 DBs is a waste-get one of the safeties out and roll in another lineman/LB

    4. Unless you got Reggie White, John Henderson and Vince Woolfork as your 3-it ain't gonna work against the run!

    I agree with Stars-OR ran the same D but their LB's were so active-they were wither coming or showing a blitz which makes the O-line have to account for them at the LOS. What's the point of lining the LB's back at 5 yards? They aren't doing jack in pass defense anyway-except dropping into zone. They definitely aint getting down hill!!! If you watch the SEC and NFL D's that run 3-4 they most always have at least 5 if not 6 dudes on the LOS. Football ain't hard it's just a numbers game.................

    Honestly,  smaller actually would help you in pass rush situations. I wish Oakland did have a bunch of 6'2 LB's, Korey Smith would be recruited by everyone if he was.

    Anyways,  That's why most schools like the 3-4/50, you can show multiple looks without making alot of changes. Maryville needs to find a program that runs the Wing-T well and at least scrimmage them

    A little late to the discussion. They don't need to find a wing-t team to scrimmage. They need to get more people in the box. 7 ain't enough! Especially when there's only 3 on the LOS.  What's the point in having 4 db's when the opponent is running it down your throat? It seems like a lot of coaches have gotten dumb regarding basic football. It's always been and always will be a numbers game. If the D only has 3 dudes on the LOS then the offense wins every time-unless you got John Henderson, Reggie White and Vince Woolfork! Load the box! Become multiple-don't run the same crap every down! Just sayin'!

    I don't know who leaves the gate open for all the blocked field goals and extra points this year but this is another example how of we're regressing yet the problem has never been solved. Could explain why our kicker has missed sure shot field goals he got in the past when he goes out to kick he has to worry if he is on a suicide mission instead of concentrating on kicking the ball.

    I do.........
