But I guess you need to practice this through the week .. with the team you have you know you’ll probably be playing from behind quite a bit, then why the hell aren’t you practicing shotgun and giving yourself a chance on Friday nights ??? I mean that’s all you did in the off season then the butt kicking by pick north put them right back in the same predictable offense like before .. it’s sad when all off season and the two scrimmages you went shotgun quite a bit then week 2 go right back to the same bland stinking wing t w no creativity !! Oh and not even playing your number one receiver from last year at receiver this year ??! Makes zero sense !!!
Yes, I'm aware, but your post is lacking context about how he comes and ankle-bites my opinions about Big Walnut too.
The addition of Logan and Teays Valley are two automatic wins (on paper) for the Gales, which means they’re done with OCC crossovers in ‘24.
It is predictable because of a couple of injuries on the line and this is not a very good pass blocking OLine. QB is also part of the problem. He throws a nice ball in practice and in warm-ups but he has been rushing his throws because of the protection. He had a lot of under thrown balls to receivers who were open. I do think quicker throws will be better instead of the rollouts. By the way it was 12 penalties not 18 of which 4 or 5 were for chop blocks. This team only committed 10 penalties thru the 1st 4 games combined. I do think this team is better now than week one but it is one of those years in which all the breaks are going against you. The only way to get out this is to play a near perfect game. Let's hope it's Friday against Groveport
I seen a couple under thrown because of the coverage and of course being rushed because the line just doesn’t have it . I also seen 4 drops last Friday too !! It would be nice to see his personnel a lil better also .. Tyler Holland last year in playoff game built a little connection w his QB and now he hardly plays receiver ?!? That’s coaching !!! Defend them all you want it’s sad !!!
Bottom line they have 3-4 plays in the playbook and I can sit in the stands and predict 90% of the play calls .. nothing has changed ( been told that by at least 3 opposing coaches who I know real well from teams they played this year) and they spent all off season changing to RPO and it worked pretty good in the 2 scrimmages did it not ????… so why go back to the stupid wing t w/ zero creativity ?? That’s all I have to say on this ! See ya Friday night and lord knows we won’t be able to run fullback dive every play ( well until it’s 3rd and 9 then go under center and have QB roll to opposite throwing arm and throw cross body which everyone knows is coming ) against Groveport or it’ll be a long night again ! And now I won’t reply anymore enough said !!
Tyler Holland has played mostly on Defense as Lancaster has depth at receiver. Also, as a former player I hate that this team is having the season they are having. This is not acceptable and this team knows it. Yes, I will defend them as I have seen how they work at practice. They do not practice like a winless team. It just hasn't shown in any games. This team has a lot of plays that they can run but remember how young this team is and who they have and will be playing. In the long term this will be a much improved team next year and 2024 is where this team thinks it can compete for a top spot in the region. Numbers are up at the younger levels and there are some talented kids at the Junior High level. We as fans need to be patient and this team in couple of years will be competing near the top of the OCC Buckeye or whatever divisional name is given in 2024.
"automatic wins (on paper)"? Because of school size? I guess that makes Lancaster 6-0 (on paper) this season... All 3 schools have young talent, great communities and beautiful facilities. Looking forward to good "blue and gold" and "battle of 33" rivalries in all sports for years to come!
Two things on Teays:
I don't disagree with any of that. I just despise the prognostication of high school sports. There are better uses of an adults time. Teays has 4 freshmen including at qb and 6-7 sophomores getting valuable varsity experience, the JV team is undefeated with its closest game as a 20-0 win against Hammy and the freshman and middle school teams are fairing very well with current OCC schedules. They also have undergone incredible upgrades to there facilities including weight rooms that would be the envy of most high school programs. They will compete. Perhaps not with PC on the gridiron or hardwood (but who in the future Buckeye division does), but they will compete and surprise some people.
