THE SQUAD Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 LA has a similar situation with Mike Jones-Larue. He is a powerful runner and probally the second fastest on the team. He plays FB and we almost always choose to run him straight up the gut instead of getting him outside where he can out run big guys and run over smaller DB's... LA-35 AE-33 OldCatFan I guess we are the only 2 people who wonder or care about Mike Jones!? Why is he not being used like he should be?Has something happened on that team that we don't know about or is he just not as good as he used to be? I don't know what happened but to go from ALL STATE TAILBACK as a FRESHMAN @ Monterey to a seldom used FULLBACK in his senior year @ LA makes you wonder. We have a great runner here at Cookeville(Tyler Wolf) but I guarantee Coach Joslin would be giving Jones the ball a bunch too if he was here! By the way,good luck LA against AE. We here in Cookeville are pulling for you! THE SQUAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 AE's colors are columbia blue & scarlett red . . . . . did I get that right Turtle? Hey Kwalker, If you mix those two colors, do you get Maroon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekbank Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I hope LA pulls off the upset but they are playing AE at home enough said. AE like always has a great team they dominated TC a few years back in the semis. LA has the best team we faced all season and we were lucky to come away with a win The Cates kid and their running back are phenomonal, class act all the way. Very well coached and diciplined football team very talented all across the board.I hope LA can win but, AE are very imtimidating at home and with a great fan support to boot I feel AE pulls away in this on 28-7 again I say GO LA.

bigreid Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Best of Luck LA. The " good/bad " thing is that these four teams are probably the best 4 teams in 3A. Whoever is left standing in two weeks should be the favorite to win in Murfresboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We here in Cookeville are pulling for you! THE SQUAD Nah, we are just the only ones who talk about it on here!! This is all you hear at the game or when you talk LA football with any one who knows the game. I've got no problem with our tailback, he gives 110% on every play,but he plays almost every play of every game(offense and defense). You would think they would give him a break every once in a while and give Mike a few carries from tailback!! I would love to see him run out of that option that we run so much!!! I think he is still as good as he was when given the chance. It's hard to show what you can do when you run straight up the middle every time, but he has done very well at that anyway!!! Get him outside and watch him run by the big guys and over the small guys!!! Good luck to Cookeville also!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time i checked you cant gain yards goin East and West so the only way to go is STRAIGHT AHEAD? and about mike he has more long runs up the MIDDLE than vaughn has on the Edge so i say you should watch the game and realize hes A FULLBACK NOT A TAILBACK! and please quit haten on the option? please?

wildcat324 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hey eaglemgr....how long have u been managing for tech? seems like someone who stays manager for a college team that long and still lives at home with his momma is a little "funny" or has nothing else to do for the rest of his life. Also, Im not sure if u realize this.....but LA has played some very respectable teams this year. why not give up on running ur mouth about them and give em a little respect. Looks like they have done pretty good for this being their first year in a new and better region. oh and watch yourself.....its not like everyone from livingston doesnt know who u are on here. If i were u, I wouldnt want to make too many enemies. Go Hog-Eye!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatfan_sm Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I think Jones fits in at the fullback position. A lot of people wanted to see Colson at tailback last year. But Jones and Colson are both big and strong. LA runs their plays for the fullback well and with their size and speed they are players that can get through the whole break a tackle and then have one man to go before touchdown. With Colson doing it so well Jones was about his size so he fit in their better. Why take Vaughn from a position he had been playing so long. Reeder is also a good back and Jones is now seeing some time on Defense.By the way LA 28 Ae 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
