Henry County @ Kenwood

[olddevil]

Olddevil,

I see you sitting at #1 in The Big Ones contest!

Not too shabby yourself, SEC

GO BIG RED

[wingman]

you guys have got to be kidding me, Kenwood although improved are still a long way from being good, they won 0ne game last year and may win 3-4 this year but by no measure is that considered good. Northwest is not as good, Clarksville is not as good, Northeast is not as good, although I expect them to improve rapidly. Rossview is still a middle of the road team, West Creek is probably mcuh improved but they had one way to go and that was to get better, still not a contender, I look for Springfield to be one of the tougher challenges for the Patriots this year, on the road but the jackets taking two thumpings last season by us probably doubt their ability to beat us. That Leaves Dickson and they will be the only challenge from here on out. I am not sure on them yet, they are improved but I am not sure how much, Our new slow down pound the ball style may prove to be all it takes to bring them back to our level. Dickson has shown real trouble stopping the spread and it looks like we are going to line up and pound the ball. I also hear that one of our starting O linemen hung up his cleats yesterday? Which one and Why?

I was told the young man has a job and needed to work more and that left him with a decision and he decided to work.

 

I am not sure I would call Pats 3 yards and dust. That is what I associate with a slow down and pound style. First 2 games 13 or 14 passes per game and last game almost 7 ypc on ground with a lot of those outside of tackles. But we interpert things differently.

 

GO PATS !!

HC will pound the ball. But if Dickson struggles against the spread or spread/option, I imagine Najee will have a field day when he gets his snaps at QB. I agree with wingman, we've got a power rushing style this year. But we've also passed the ball pretty much the same amount per game as we did under Gaddis. At least that's been the case these first 2 games.

 

And that's too bad to hear about the O-lineman. But hey, with money as tight as it is these days, can't say I blame him. Hopefully it won't affect us too much.

 

GO PATRIOTS!!!

Wow!!! Dickson County struggles against the spread! You must have incorrect sources. As I know for a fact, Dickson held Columbia (best team in 5A) to under 75 total yards for the game (not the half) last friday! If memory serves me correctly, Columbia runs a lot of Spread looks (as well as I formation looks too)...Holding the best team in 5A to under 75 yards for an entire game isn't struggling (and yes, Dickson still found a way to turn the ball over too much and lose!)...But Dickson's struggles definately aren't defense, so i wouldn't be looking past them just yet!

Kenwood plays about 6-7 players both ways from what I saw on Friday night. They played a very weak Ft. Campbell team (compared to the team last year). Kenwood has a long way to go before they can be called good.

They are better though.

Never liked cake walks. Music usually bad and everyone walks slowly almost as bad as musical chairs.

It's a bad sign if a starter quit for any reasons after two games. Jobs can work around football. The real reason why he quit is still put there, although I have no idea what it would be. This makes the coaches sick, if true.

I think you're looking a little too much into this. When I played there, I knew 3 boys who quit football because they worked. I worked during the summer, but there's no way i could work during the week when the school year rolled around. Sometimes we'd be at practice til 6 or later, then homework, shower, supper, and bed. There simply weren't enough hours in the day for a job during football season unless it was on a weekend. Plus I was in numerous other school clubs as well, which may have been the case with this kid. You simply never know what the circumstances are, but if it is because he has a job, that's not the worst reason in the world to quit. Some of these kids need money. I was fortunate enough to have two parents who worked and had the extra cash to help me out a little during football season. Not all kids are so fortunate.

Good post RedSwarm10! Some people don't realize this enconomy is till in bad shape! Some kids have no choice its work or walk! Back in the day gas was about thirty something cents a gallon! The kid simply did what he had to!

Are we no longer allowed to use signatures on this site? I just looked at my CP and the "change signature" option was nowhere to be found.
