If you look after the 2nd INT Blade did go to the run with Guidry - in fact he had both Henderson and Guidry in the backfield and was calling some safe passes but the kid lost his confidence and that's where Blade didn't have the answer

In the 2nd half, Farragut had three down lineman and 1 LB in the box, why are you not running the football every play? My answer is because Blade is too arrogant and stubborn. He is the reason for the 2nd half meltdown, not taking anything away from Farragut because their coaches made an adjustment and Blade refused to counter.

This loss is on coach blade and his refusal to run the football. He did the same thing two weeks ago against cane ridge and almost lost the game then. When the team puts four defenders in the box and you still throw the football you're just asking for bad things to happen

YOU HAD SOME SPEEDY BACKS THAT COULDN'T RUN THE BALL ON THE GUTTS DEFENSE. TOO SMALL SIR.

Your right he was schooled tonight in coaching

Still tough however when 6 INTs are thrown and if I recall all 6 were either way overthrown or just thrown up for grabs

C'MON NO EXCUSES DA GUTTS BIGGER AND MORE PHYSICAL THAN INDY PERIOD.

MY OWLS EXCUSE... #1 NEVER GAVE UP

[SweetScience]

Well once this game turned physical, Farragut absolutely owned Independence. What a turnaround. Well done Admirals!

Oh yeah they sure did. Farragut has always had those stout OL's. This years wasn't as big as years past, but man they made up for it with heart. Very impressed.

Being a former coach I am surprised you would go to such lengths to critique a fellow coach knowing that many things could have gone on that we as fans don't know about. And I am curious if you would go on a site like this to criticize your own coach? Just saying....the man has won 29 straight games.

First, I am not part of Indy's fan base and secondly, they were running the ball just fine in the first half.

[PassiveAggressive]

WILL INDYNATION SHOW UP? HE SAID THE 5A CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY WAS STAYING IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE. YEP THE ONE FROM 2015.

HE REMINDS ME OF THE OLD TRASH TALKING PA.

Another thing that shocked me is that Blade is a defensive specialist. Indy's D is pretty soft for a Blade coached defense. that was always our strong point when he was at OR.

You live by the gun you die by the gun. That pass happy stuff can only get you so far before it bites you. Blade didn't learn from his mistakes over the past 2 weeks
