Melrose at Brighton

[TraderB]

I see what you're saying. I will say this, though - Toney will pass the ball all over Brighton. Them getting a good rush will be key - they got a good one on HC, but Teague was able to scramble. I don't know if Toney will be able to scramble as much. Melrose, if I remember correctly, has a senior Wide Reciever/Kick Returner - #13, I think. This kid is fast - Faster than Teague, fast. He MAY have graduated last year, but I don't believe that to be the case. TraderB - am I right?

 

Yes. #13 is gone.

---------------------------------

 

Toney overwhelmingly prefers to drop back & pass the ball. He's an accurate, pure passer with a cannon for an arm. He will scramble only if absolutely, positively necessary--only in crucial situations. His accuracy remains steady.

 

Toney's "money" receiver is the TE #6. His secondary target is #18. Neither is as fast as #13 from last year, although the Tight End is the fastest (believe it or not) and MOST DANGEROUS of the current receivers.

Melrose by a WHOLE LOT!

[SEC1rules]

I think Melrose will win but it will be closer than expected!

[CoverZero]

Think you will find that the Brighton D is not all you think it's cracked up to be. Melrose will find recievers open all night and I don't think Brighton will be able to say the same. Melrose by 21.

 

 

You aren't telling me anything I didn't know already. I don't think their D is very good

[Red Warrior]

MELROSE with a running clock!

MELROSE with a running clock!

 

 

If Brighton's starting QB is back, maybe not.

If he is not back, then yeah, runnin' clock.

 

I do predict a good game either way...

I predict a BIG Melrose victory either way!

Is this what you think or is this what your friends from Memphis had said about the game?

 

Red Warrior you talk in circles. I think you are closely linked to the HC program not just a retired coach that moved to the area. This is just my opinion.

I remember #6 and #18 when Melrose played Whitehaven. Both are dangerous but #6 has size and speed. We had our hands full with him all night. Both actually. Both will go long but #18 will stretch the field better. IF you don't get a good pass rush on Toney ... he will cut your defensive backfield to shreds.

I am not sold on how good the Melrose offense is, they are averaging 15 points a game against descent teams, Brighton is a descent team and they will score on Brighton but I believe Brighton will score on them if Jackson is at QB. I do not see Melrose winning by 21 points.

Brighton is more versatile than Kingsbury and Kingsbury put up 22 on the golden wildcats.

1) I expect a Melrose win, but definitely not a shutout. My gut tells me that Melrose won't win by 21pts, either.

 

2) "Explosive" is a much more accurate description than "good," when describing Melrose's offense--mostly PASSING offense.

 

3) In my view...."Good" = consistent = execution = NOT Melrose!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

At the end of the day, after the trip down Semantics lane, Brighton's secondary is going to have a very busy night trying to do something NO OTHER team has done this year: Shut down Melrose's explosive passing game. Their running game...well, it sure as heck leaves a whole lot to be desired. It is anything but explosive or good or consistent.

Their offense looks unstoppable. They scored 12 on MUS. 6 on Whitehaven. 18 on Fairley. 25 on East.

 

They are putting up some huge numbers.
