Dresden Lions 2015

[ysoangry]

Impressive win for Dresden. The beat a good McKenzie team handily. Going to make Dresden much better turning Quincy loose as a play maker (which he is very good at). Then if a D wants to concentrate on him you have Athom, Williams, and Warren as options. Quincy and Yates in backfield. Scoring shouldn't be a problem this year.

The connection of quarterback Dresser Winn to Quincy McDonald, who was the quarterback last year, was difficult for opposing defenses to stop."

good to hear and thanks for the link

Dresden will be able to throw it around this year.  They have several kids that can catch it.  Scoring will not be a problem.  I just hope the defense is as good as I am hearing.

Throwing it around is good and bad IMO. Good to have the capability to score quickly but bad cause the other team can score quickly on a pick six. I'm hoping we have a good balance of run mixed in. Pound the ball until they move the secondary up to help, then bust them deep with a pass. Sounds easy enough in theory, I guess, but much harder to do. Should be a fun team to watch this year.

Winn had one pick six his freshman year.  It just happen to be against UC and at a terrible time. 
The pick six just doesn't happen very often.  Secondly, the lions are not built for ground and pound.  I believe they will run it because Rang realizes you have to be able to run the football to open up the pass.  But in Dresden's case this year the pass will open up the run.

We also had a huge int in the end zone against Humboldt his freshman year that was returned 50 or 60 yards. I understand that Dresden isn't built for ground and pound and really hasn't had the line play for it, since I've been watching (besides Josh Turnbow). It's just in HS football the running team typically has the advantage (ask TCA last two years). I really think this next two years will be Dresden's chance to go further than any other Dresden team ever has, and after 2012 that would be gold. But being one dimensional without very good line play wont make it. Just my opinion and we all know what opinions are like.........

That whole class of 13 OL was good. Morgan was strong as an ox. Turnbow was a genius and strong plus Blessed with a great frame. Parsley and kemp had exceptional speed for guards. And seat was no slouch.

 

Three things can happen when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad. I think we'll be fine though lol

 

 

Dresser and Dresden will do great. I believe this may be hevy's year to predict correctly.

We had 2,000 yards rushing last year and 3,500 passing. Pretty balanced I would say!

How did I know you would jump on that comment? You did have (and still do) a good RB but normally when I think of TCA I think of Aikin trowing it around. Is he playing college ball anywhere?
