Week 9: Oneida @ Sunbright

[crow]

Oneida has a good stable of backs and Larry Csonka, plus a good line. If they ever develop a consistent passing game, the sky's the limit. Far as defense goes, no worries. What grade is #19?

Sophmore....and Larry Csonka/Earl Campbell is about hitting the nail on the head.  I got to admit, there ain't a whole lot of "dodge" in the kid.    He has had his share of run overs this year....as it the other fella got left in his tire treads.  Sure wish we could teach him the fine art of running around people instead of through them.  Aw heck, what he does is working pretty good right now....so what do I know.  As long as his ego stays in them britches....he will be just fine.  Appears to be a very humble kid.

After 3 or 4 games I thought we had completely abandoned the forward pass because we looked like we were catching the ball with stumps.  Lately we have grown fingers and seem to stick with it til we bring it in to the body.  I'm not going to jinx them.....they better keep catching them as if their life depends on it....!  (Heck, it probably does if I know their Daddies!!!!!)

Good luck to the Indians. Seen Grace play last week and if ya meet them in the playoffs, I believe ya can take them this year.

I believe you guys and MC are the top dogs in the east.

kaz... I believe you will see a little more pass these next 2 weeks its time to start prepping for the playoffs!!!   Also the Oneida D is playing with some killer instincts right now and being pretty stingy as well. I was very pleased the way the defensive backs have played as of late. 19 or bam bam whatever they are calling him these days is a punisher for sure!

[kazam37]

I could care less.....pass.....run....or give it to the Steamroller.  Offense score points and defense don't give up scores and ole Kaz will retire back into the Ju Ju Tent and smokem' some spirit pipe!  Easy to please this fan as long as we get the W.

Grace is still a very good football team. That said they aren't as dominating as the last couple of years. I know whoever has to play Hampton will have their hands full as well. They were a very solid team at the start of the year but they seem to get better each week & have really came together. The biggest weapon we can add to the arsenal at this point is to handle the game in front of us Friday, then prep for the regular season finale & do the same. If we can do that then that makes November a much better situation for us.

If Oneida wins out, does anyone know the playoff scenario? Like, Oneida

would have a first round bye, but then what? What about the third round?

With a win out Oneida would likely be #1 in quad 1 so I believe a home game with the winner of #4 / #5 I believe.

And Crow.....it is looking like those two will be Rockwood and Meigs.  So we could be in for a re-match with the only team to beat us.  As fearful as that is, I like our chances because those boys know they didn't finish and they are hyped up for a little redemption.  Absolutely no problem getting pumped up to play the Green Tigers again.  Side note.....#40 did not play against them the first time and #19 was still getting his feet wet.  I believe he had 3 carries in the game....although I'm not certain.  He has become a much more integral part of this offense.  After getting burnt twice in the early part of the year the secondary seems to have fixed covering the deep ball.  All in all, if that is who we play (or Meigs) the playoffs are a whole different animal.  Having the experience over the years....we'll be ready.
