FranklyMyDear Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well tell us. Are the doubters now believers? How did it go? I have always been a believer but yesterday I was a little disappointed. We handled Page upfront offensively but defensive we couldn't seem to get a consistant pass rush. LB'ers played pretty good and the secondary did a good job minus a couple of lapses. As for Offensive we moved the ball very well and the run game looked great. I worry about whether or not our QB can hold up with guys weighing 230 hitting him consistently verses guys weighing 175 hitting him. Over all it is what it is a Spring Game that has lots of room for improvement. I do recant my statements about Dyson and Hammonds. From what I could tell they did a very good job yesterday. The DB's and WR looked pretty good for what they were asked to do. I still don't like that they were forced on Eubanks, but that is not their fault. Did anyone else notice that other than a couple players we didn't seem to have much team speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page was in a pistol (shotgun) look and they were throwing the quick passes. There isn't a lot of time to rush. I didn't see many blitzes so Page was blockig 4 with 5. Heckman is pretty tough and they will be able to spread the ball around more than last year. After the first series the defense settled down and did a good job. I thought for the first spring game they played well. Everyone shouldn't make more of this than what it was...a Spring scrimmage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarblack Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Is Independence still running the spread? An observer told me that it looked like some wing-T formations with Heckman running the ball... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the spread or the wing-t. And there were a lot of other players that ran the ball beside Heckman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranklyMyDear Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 It is not the spread or the wing-t. And there were a lot of other players that ran the ball beside Heckman. Actually we were running the midline from a Wing T look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
