Hampton "DOGS"

[THE KING]

I remember when mike was at cloudland, I'd hear some morons on the sideline complaining about not throwing the ball more while Byrd, Benfield, Clipse, Jones, and the Shells were piling up 1500 yard seasons and 8, 9, and 10 win seasons. You always play to the teams abilities. It takes great discipline for receivers to run perfect routes and the timing has to be right with the QB. We don't have those kinds of recievers up here. A successful running game allows for opportunities with play action pass. I wouldn't throw it know more than 10 times a game. The only reason Cosby threw it as much as they did is Cloudland completely shut down there run game. Its like Pujo said, you better be able to run the ball.

I have a question for Hampton/Pujo fans. How does this Hampton team compare to the one we saw in 2007 at South Pittsburg? I have opinion on it from comparing scores this season, but I wanted to ask someone familiar with the Dogs.

This taem is not as good, they are getting better and they have some strengths. That team was pretty good.

Not as good as in 35-40 points? I looked at Hampton's schedule and it appears they struggled with some pretty bad teams this year.

Na' its not that much difference,they've had some very key people out.Played games where the whole starting backfield was out.Blown some leads. But the last 3 weeks have been much better, they won't be anyones chumps. They'll be a tough out come playoff time if they can stay healthy.

Mmmmm...not a moron and not complaining! My point was that pass blocking needs a lil more improvement to allow this team to be a lil more dangerous....now, do you refer to Hampton or Cloudland's receivers not being able to run precise routs and QB timing?

[dogbreath]

Uknoit2, I don't believe you know much. They have applications for coach if you would like to try. I saw the dogs whip Johnson County and thought they were really doing good and improving greatly. Then they play Hancock County and the same bunch is hurt again. They'll have a hard time with Cloudland. I hope they can win. I still say if they all played with toughness like a few of them do, they could win 2 or 3 playoff games. Without it one and done.

Dogbreath, been in this football stuff for some time. Not sure what you read that led to your reply but I hope you reread this thread. I have not questioned the coaches nor the job they are doing. But as you see a need for this bunch to be tougher and shake off a bump, I see a need for a lil better pass blocking (just to give them the complete game). I too hope they continue to play better and become hard nosed as they were against Johnson Co...Hope we are now on the same page

[uknoit2]

Dogbreath, let me continue to say that I was hoping the toughness of a few would have already rubbed off on the others... can't teach size and heart BUT they are doing better I believe

[pujo]

I think we are on the same team and want the best for the BULLDOGS, Pass blocking or any basics that make you better is a definate plus. The Coaches work hard and they'll try to improve in every area. Our biggest need is keeping our starters on the field and selling out every play. We do that and we'll be fine. They dominated 2 of the last 3 games, they even dominated 3 quarters against Johnson Co. Johnson Co is a pretty good ballteam. Still think this bunch has a shot at 10 and 0. Who wouldn't be happy with that. When the season started, I thought it possable to lose at least 5. As far as that goes,all 4 remaining games are loseable.

Well I didnt get to make to the hancock, so who are we without now? I know the DAWGS are a great bunch but the toughness out of them this year has really disappointed me more than any other bunch.
