Huntingdon Mustangs vs. Westview Chargers

[apostlebob]

To AmannamedHorse,

 

Proverbs 18:2

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

[SirStang]

I'm new to this coaching t and its fun. You guys take can't take it so personal, opinions are like but holes, everyone got one. but some just stink worse than others, lol, but amannamed horse is correct on the defensive coverage. We rarely ever have 2 safeties. Stangs run both 4-4 and 4-3, but majority of the night was 4-4, hence only 1 safety, and we fired 2 of the 4 linebacker and completely took them out of the game all night. The first big play Martin had, quarter back scamper was due to line back fired 5 yards deep into backfield completely over pursued. we didn't make adjustment and kept doing it all night long. didn't even have to worry about trying to block Stang linebackers as they kept firing and taking themselves out of play.

 

Also, I love Coach Swensen the winning air and attitude and positive upbeat he brings, but he can be a little bullheaded sometimes with the ground/pound off tackle. this year he has speed and studs in the back field. 2 years ago he coached up and chalkboard up an un-expecting team to state championship game, no speed so had to go with the unorthodox beast package same last year other than one hilliard. But this year you have #3, #15, #11 and on and on stable of running backs & speed, so we don't have to run 44 & 33 super powers 10 times in a row. I don't recall one sweep play vs chargers that they didn't get 10+ yards on, but we didn't try it enough. But hey I don't have a state championship ring on my finger nor a runner up so take us to the promise land again Swenson.

So this years team is a lot more talented than our runner up team 2 years ago??? I'm not buying that

Me either. I would be willing to bet their not as fast either.

[KermitDeeFrog]

And 3 years ago he did not even make it passed the quarter final with a team that should of won the state.

 

 

TBH Wayne County had a great team as well that year I wouldve put bot warbrittons out there but thats just me, only thing Swenson messed up was title game 2 years ago and I'm not talking bout 2 point conversion (I'd have done that too) Im talking bout going for it 4th and 1 in 3rd quarter when Gordonsville hadn't scored yet.  If they cant score dont give them a chance to get in the endzone.

 

This is bout this years team though and our game with westview.  To a commenter above me, I dont know if this team is as talented as the one 2 years ago but I don't think they are experienced enough yet.  Good things going to happen if players stay healthy next 2 to 3 years ......... maybe even this one just gotta be patient.

 

BTW back on topic of out game with Westview, I think Westview should be in top 5 of dirty dozen and huntingdon should be ahead of #11

[SirStang]

I just thinks its pretty absurd for him to say that this team is more talented. I think that we have potential to be a good team but saying that those young players are more talented than a state runner up team that had a record breaking preformance is about crazy. But what do I know I'm just an old man who hasn't put pads on in a good 30 plus years.

Agree. To have a back rush for over 3000 yds he has to have some speed and 5 all-staters

You guys are cracking me up. The Stangs have everyone so confused that you can't count your own linebackers. Opposing offenses will never be able to figure out who to block. You should never give up another TD all season. I think I saw some film and I counted 11 LBs - LMBO.

I got tired of reading this thread so I had to comment.  Huntingdon runs a 4-3 defense and sometimes jumps into a 3-4 with two walked down linebackers.  The two safeties are #20 Bolen and #9 Pruitt.  I don't know who these 4 linebackers you are counting are but the 3 backers are #12 Baker, #26 Arnhold, and #13 Russell.  Maybe your confused with the end #40 Williams who happens to stand up in some fronts but that only leaves 3 down lineman #25, #5, and #70.  So this mysterious 4-4 is not true.  As far as being more talented than 03 y'all are crazy no Boo, no Bell, no Donald on this team.  Comparing them to 2012 more speed yes more size and strength no way: Bush, Deibold, Warbritton, Pruitt, Burlison. Way stronger than this years team.  Im not saying this team doesn't have a lot of talent because they do but how good has yet to be seen.  You said we did not run many sweeps Friday, We ran a lot of sweeps that backs cut the ball up way to early watch the blocking and you would know that.  The coaches are smart and know what they are doing.  If you don't think so go back to school and get your degree and coach them.  Plenty of people in huntingdon including the boys on the team read the stuff y'all post and if you don't support them and our coaches your not helping the cause so think before you post negative things about any of the Mustangs

I wouldn't put the speed in their favor just yet. Correct me if I'm wrong I have yet to see a back break one yet and showing off their speed. This team doesn't have the homerun hitter like the 2012 team did, you never knew when Warbritton or Hilliard was going to break one

I agree with what you're saying but I agree with SirStang on the speed. But to use Paul Ward in your user name is disrespectful to a legendary coach.

If you are watching the same game as I then Bolen is walked up as an outside linebacker up inside the tackle box. It doesn't matter what you call it, it leaves no deep help and not a smart d to be playing against a team running trips. It's hard for any cb to stay locked into man coverage all night, thus the reason WV KEPT TRYING TO GO OVER THE TOP. Because there was no help. The receivers were open they couldn't connect. This also leaves you up crap creek with a QB that can run the ball if he gets through the tackle box he's running a long way, which he did and THAT is what got us beat. I'm not down on our corners, not down on any players. I happen to love the 4-4 defense, love diversified defenses but you can't run the defense we were running Friday against a decent passing team and expect to be successful. It's a crapshoot and it not us in the butt. If you know football you know that. Enough said on this topic. It is a message board and I will express my opinions both good and bad. Hopefully mostly good from here on out.
