After watching some of Watertown game last week the line play on the right side is horrible. I have never been a tackle whiff on a block on the DE he didn't even place a hand on the DE. H2O QB was running out the pocket just get time most of the game seems like he was running for his life. I still think TC has a definite speed advantage. 

Terrible is a strong word, the right tackle is better at the guard. That's where he played in sub last year and had been playing this summer, scrimmages and 1st game until last week. He's learning on the fly, footwork is key and keeping head up. The two positions are completely different... He'll get it worked out. Despite his mistakes the real problem is in the center position. The ball being delivered at the top of the QB head each play is throwing the timing way way off, slowing down the production of the RB, and the passing game. Lineman should only have to block 4-5 seconds and the ball should be gone. After that the pocket breaks down. The whole offense is very young, I think 3 Seniors, experience is key and they are growing up each day. I just hope for a good clean close game, and now one has any major injuries on either side. Also hope that it sets up for 2nd game in the playoffs.

That explains a lot then it's a totally different animal playing tackle instead of guard. You are exactly right that play his head was down. I don't pay that much attention to the center. On the snap not being accurate it does throw off the timing. I rather not play a team twice a year it's always hard to beat a team twice in one year. Hopefully, both teams come out this game healthy.

Oh yes just like last year fastest kid on both sidelines will be Trousdale QB. Speed won't matter that much in this game I think TC will come out and pound the rock.

I would love to see a purple tiger victory. But it’s gonna be tough. Our o line has gotten worse since last year and last year we had trouble creating holes against tc. The o line will decide this game once again. But To continue on from previous posts I saw I do not believe rankins is the key for tc. Don’t get me wrong he is what he is...a tank. But #7 and #2 will be hard to stop as well. I also dont see tcs qb being the fastest guy on the field. We have a lot of inexperienced guys with tremendous talent. I think Hackett will have the defense ready, the offense has to come to play. If they do, it will be a close game, if not I’m calling a 3 td Trashdale victory.

does it look like tc plans to get the ball in #7s hands more this year?
