Oak Ridge 2015

We've got to be able to throw the ball more Cats. Look what happened in the Rhea Co game... They stopped our run and we couldn't do anything until we opened it up late in the game. We had 200 yards passing in the game and 90% of that came late in the 3rd and 4th quarters and that's when we scored. A balanced attack will most always work better than a one sided attack.

 

There is no way you are saying lets not get the ball in Tee's and our other receivers hands ???

 

RWR !!!!

We disagree. I'm saying that our problem was that we did not and could not run the ball good enough this year when it mattered most and that, along with defense, will win championships. All you have to do is look back to the 8 title games that were played last week. Sure I want to get the ball to Tee, but we did that and still lost.

I'll give you that for sure...What I'm reading here is that OR didn't have much of a passing game to speak of but what most don't know is that the game plan was to run it down out opponents throats and only throw when it was absolutely necessary. We have the tools to throw it all over the field, it just needs to be incorporated into the game plan IMO.

I have no idea about the game plan but otherwise I couldn't disagree with you more

I'd like to see more 5 and 6 yd down and out or slants across the middle  instead of these wide receiver screens that get caught for a loss. Run Middleton across the middle and dump it to him. Tee to the sidelines for 5 or 6 yds. all three of the playoffs teams killed us with these. But I'm just an old man so I don't know nothing. Gotta be a reason why we don't use these more though.

Of course you do Cats, I wouldn't expect any different. It's common sense that to run the ball you've got to spread it out and vise versa.

I'm confused. I thought we were a spread offense.

I agree with you Papa Bounder

The thing about those 5 yard outs and quick slants, with guys like Middleton and Higgins, they can be turned into 60-70 yd TD's in the blink of an eye. Also inside the 10, just throw it up to those guys and let them go get it! Use your athletes. Balance is the key, as someone stated earlier, but don't beat your head against a brick wall when you have SEC caliber athletes on the outside. Even an average qb can throw it up to Middleton in the red zone!

Well?? Are you going to post it or just spend  your day at the GQ appreciation dinner??

LOL...You only have to think back to the Rhea County game to realize you're wrong!
