With the Tiger teams that are expected in the next few years, his frustrations will continue for the foreseeable future.Could someone from Canton please do a welfare check on bootleg? Please take a blood pressure cuff.
They’re coming? We’ll see how quick they want to LEAVE after getting slapped in the teeth. This group of kids we have is COMING. Ain’t nobody scared of this team from Georgia. All the boys we have returning coming off a trip to the state final 4. The new QB is going to bring a whole new dimension on top of slaughter being in his 3rd year. Come on up, I can’t wait to see or kids put it to there asz’sI hope our OC has a plan . #9
 on Valdosta d line committed to Colorado . They Comin !! Sorry if mentioned already . I can’t stop watching hudl . Go tigers
I’ll push my chips in with the kid who beat St. Ed’s and is 2-0 vs McK! Go get em’ 2!!!
Personally, I’d give McElroy the W against Mck in ‘21.
I’d give it to the TEAM !
Let me make this clear, I’m not against any of our kids. My point was the new kid brings a little something different to the table. Something that will add to our offense. Slaughter has done a very good job his first 2 seasons. But now he has some real competition. And I’m definitely not cheering against the kid at all. I want them all to get bigger, stronger, faster, and just overall better. But it’s going to bring the best out of both kids I hope. We will give opponents more to have to prepare for and deal with. I hope they both have great years and I honestly believe that can happen. I think this team has the potential to be one of our best. That’s my honest opinion. If we can get everyone healthy from the jump that would really help. Last year we were down some guys early on. Anyway bring on Valdosta, this team won’t back down or be intimidated I can promise you all that. I don’t care who they have I know who we have. Can’t wait to see this game in August. They will go back home with a loss and their pride will take a hit after we physically handle them. That’s all I have to say for now
Yeah it’s always a team effort
I'm curious to what happens for whomever don't start. I hope we can find a spot for both of them.They both will be a contributor for sure.
I’d bet that they both play QB. Both are also athletic enough to probably play receiver and owens has experience playing defense as well
It will all work out I got trust in our coaches and I was thinking the same thing.
We want Slaughter don’t get it twisted
I agree. He needs to get in the weight room a little more it seems. I’m sure he works hard as well I just think he needs to get some weight on him. It’s tough when you play basketball too. He’s still got plenty of time so we will see
I know. I was being facetious. CCC wouldn't make sense for him anyways. Hopefully it works out in the end for him. I'm sure it will.
There are those who feel Slaughters progression has been slow. He never really had competition at the position....McElroy was a totally different kind of QB and even after he returned from injury, he was used in a specific role. Sure he threw it SOME, but when he entered the game you had a pretty good idea what was coming. Well see if Slaughter and Owens accept their roles. I would imagine they will.
This might get tiresome.
How many QB's in Massillon's history got significant playing time as a FR and then started the whole season as a SO? I sure can't think of any.
You do know this thread is about the Massillon Tigers 2023 season correct ?
The Tigers are 20-3 when Slaughter starts, can’t really argue those #’s for a 9th and 10th grader.
Let's not forget, that was against some pretty good opponents
Yup! For sure! Has an extremely bright future and is a great kid as well!
That’s all fine I’m not knocking you or what you want to see happen. But I would be cautious on the taking every snap thing. It’s nothing personal at all with Slaughter. Hes been great for a 9th and 10th grader and like others have said, against real competition. But the new kid brings something to the table that Jalen doesn’t or whatever you want to call it. That kid is 6’1 and over 200 Lbs and does extremely well in that read option type of offense when it comes to running the ball. Our staff would be absolutely foolish not to use that. After we beat St. Ed’s last year they made two adjustments I heard from there coaches. They completely changed their defense. And they started to use the read option more and if you go back and watch the tape against Hoban, they torched them with the QB. I’m not sure what the hold back is with the new kid with you, but it seems any other year or position a kid plays everyone gets excited about when a kid transfers. Jalen needs pushed. He’s had zero competition. This is a good thing. Especially for the TEAM. And I’m all about the TEAM because I want to see this school someday win a state championship. Anyway Just my opinion. I hope ALL of the boys are having a great off-season. I want to see them ALL shine!
