No I never said I knew all about your linebackers, I just said I do not think they will be able to stop CA running wise. And I thought I made it clear what I meant when I said I was watching you guys on TSSAA lol

Gatlinburg Tom does not no what he is talking about. He is usually full of mess. He gets on here and makes the other coaches real mad with his predictions. He thinks I went and read to you in my Murphy Fair book. You think im joking but im not.

We will be lucky to even stay on the field with this team. They have All-Americans everywhere at all positions including waterboy. But, there is always a chance...

It might not be a mercy rule, but I still hold to my thoughts that the west is much better than the east. Obviously, NCS, Dresden and Peabody are all very good. In the preseason my pick was NCS. They only lost 1-2 starters from last season, but during the season Union City looked good. The way NCS thoroughly dominated Huntingdon was nothing short of impressive. If a team from the east can keep a game within 21 of the west representative then they have done a great job.

Hmm wth Bassy? NCS, Dresden, Peabody....WC is 12-0 and beat Hdon by 2 TDs but we get NO love eh? Thats cool

Pirate Mike,

 

Both teams are very good in their own way. Skill positions? SP has more of them with speed. If SP can get to the edge, they should be ok, but the CA Defense takes great pursuit angles and they have very good technique and do their job. They also have a good rotation on their D Line to keep their guys fresh. Each week is different for each team. I will tell you that #1 for CA is the BEST WR I have coached against since Javon Williams at Chandler High School (of course, his QB was Brett Hundley so the ball was usually on the mark). The Thompson kid makes plays and unless you have a player with the same height, speed and physical control of his body, he will make plays. He is a very dangerous return specialist also. CA has no weaknesses as they play fundamentally sound across the board on both sides of the ball. Don't buy into the hype that they are contact averse. Their players do not shy from contact.

 

Coaching-wise, Coach Grider has a very experienced solid staff and it shows. They have gotten better each week this year and the speed they showed against MtP is going to be their greatest asset. If SP can throw the ball effectively against CA, it will help, but they have a good pass defense. Keep in mind, if you do throw it, make sure it isn't to #1's side. He can cover ground fast, has great reactions, and a large wingspan. SP has an expectation to win and that is something that's often overlooked because it has nothing to do with X's and O's and everything to do with mindset. CA has a staff that is well-prepared and their players communicate well on Defense.

 

Special Teams, both teams are dangerous, but CA has a definite advantage with their Kicker #8. He is a weapon and can kick it into the end zone every single time if he wants to. He's also a weapon on offense and can return the ball.

 

We were able to move the ball between the tackles against SP in the first half. We were not able to move the ball against CA between the tackles in either contest. We had one drive against CA's first team Defense in the first game that we were able to move the ball with our younger backs out of our Fly Series, but it ended around their 20 yard line. We made too many mistakes against CA in both games. They are a very good team. SP is a very good team. It should be a great game if both teams are firing on all cylinders. If SP can stop #1, they will win. That's not to say CA doesn't have other productive personnel, but rather how much of a weapon #1 is. I think the winner of this game goes to Cookeville. I don't think Harriman can match up with either one of them (unless they got new impact players this year that they didn't have on their roster last year). Harriman has some tough kids, but their style of play can't match up to CA or SP. Not sure about Greenback, but looking at their game against Oneida (and the score of the Oneida vs. Harriman game) I don't think Greenback will beat either one. 1-A SP and CA have a lot. Also, keep in mind CA will have 50+ on the sideline if depth becomes a factor and as many teams that they've blown out this year, those younger kids have gotten significant playing time throughout the season which should pay dividends in the playoffs.

WOW!! Great analysis!! Spot on!
