CPA @ Goodpasture

Well we all knew this matchup was coming. So let's hear it. Is this the year CPA gets over the hump and gets by GP in the playoffs? I will say that GP is firing on all cylinders right now, and CPA will not see the same team they saw in week 0. I'm sure CPA has improved as well.

 

It seems like cpa and gp have about three coacht posters, so let's all six talk it up this week.

"Stats alone can be deceptive due to quality of opponent, which defense (1st, 2nd teams) gave up the points, etc.. With that said, CPA's defense has been pretty impressive. Their 1st team defense has only given up 14 points in 3 games and that was to Goodpasture. I would be surprised if anyone else holds GP to 14 until well into the playoffs."

 

Here is the points per game GP scored after that: 34,45,42,34,24,42,34,42,41,42. As I predicted, only CPA held GP to less than 24 points. This is not the same GP team CPA beat week 1; however, CPA will still be the best defense they have played, especially pass defense which is CPA's strength.

GP has been the playoff nemesis for CPA for the last few years. CPA, at full strength, can beat GP, but they are pretty banged up. I don't think GP can score more than 28 against CPA defense, but CPA matching that could be a challenge.

GP had no answer for Wharton in week zero. Part of that was that they had no film and didn't know how CPA would utilize him on offense. Also the whole coaching staff was new, so GP was going in blind. I don't think CPA will score 35 again. That being said: CPA has been great on D. That alone should make this another great one.

 

To CPA fans: What is the biggest difference you have seen with this CPA team, who could easily be undefeated right now, vs. Matthew's teams of the recent past?

That is an easy one. Martin is a run first, pass second team. Matthews was pass first, run second.

Matthews has always been, pre-CPA, at CPA, and now at Briarwood (Birm.) a great coach and a great man. Sometimes a change is needed and is part of a bigger plan. Matthews accepts that and is happy where he is. "All things work together for good to those who love God".

Keep in mind, this team is basically the same players Matthews had and he helped develop them since they were 5th graders. Differences: Great senior leadership even though only a few guys; great defensive scheming, great freshman kicker, and biggest difference: best players are now playing both ways, except QB. Matthews always 2-platooned.

Ome more thing: Matthews had to be a pass oriented coach because of a lack of size in the line. This is the first year in many where CPA has had both size and athletes on the OL and DL. And most of them are back next year.

Hopefully this will be a closer game for Goodpasture and they won't get man-handled like the did the first time around. If Goodpasture can get a few stops on defense this time, I think we will see a typical GP/CPA playoff game like they we have seen the last couple of years.

 

I went to the CPA/Maplewood game when GP was off and CPA has quite the field-goal kicker. This kid sunk one at 51 yards and I believe it would of went for a few more. Hopefully we will see the CPA punter more than we see the kicker :D

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
