NuCat is not very smart I guess. Is he telling me that our running backs are blazing fast? Is he saying they are capable of breaking a long run every time they touch the ball? I'm just making an observation that they aren't that fast. I didn't say they weren't good...they're very good. The Bruce kid from South Doyle is good AND fast...he can break a long run on ANYBODY at ANY MOMENT! The Cottrell kid from West is the same way. I'm just saying that it would be nice to have that capability....UNLESS Hardy makes the transition completely. It would help our offense immensely....long drives in high school aren't that plentiful.

I concede that we don't have any backs that can take it to the house on any given play....You win.

The fact that you don't have a back that can take it to the house suggests your backs are terrible -or- the blocking is terrible. We have had some very mediocre backs at WB manage to bust a 50,60,70,or even 80 yard td from time to time. Granted those plays are rare unless you have a player like cottrell or the kid from SD. But you should be seeing the occasional long TD run atleast.

To the contrary our backs are very good, but not blazing fast. If Hardy starts getting more carries, he is VERY fast.

All 3 of our backs are very good and I would put all 3 of them up against any teams top 3 RB's barring a few obvious teams that I don't need to mention. We have only played 3 games.

I agree that our backs are very good...but it's better when we don't agree!

This subject will be a moot point in about 2-3 years when those 2 Robertsville backs get up in HS. They can already flat burn it now. Also, so can Simpson who is a freshmen. He is a burner.

Good. I'll be glad when I can't say what I'm saying now!

Nah. I'm from Athens. And there is alot of crime there. You might actually need police escorts when you roll into town. Lol

[bounder]

I know maybe we could call the Campbell County Sheriff and get an escort done to Athens town. They're pretty good at that I hear!!
