Ryan Day said it best this week. It's either the scheme, the coaching, or the players. Players - The defense is as good as it gets. No problems there. The offense has everything it needs to be successful. The offensive line is good. They're big and strong. And I hear that they do have some speed ( I heard they have a kid on the team that finished 3rd in the state meet in the 100, I can't verify that though). But if all you do is what the defense expects every time you're not going to get a push. Defenses put 9, 10, sometimes 11 men in the box because they know what's coming. A NFL line can't block that many people. These kids do play hard. Scheme - you've got to make the defense play honest. If you're in tight formation, how about throwing the ball on 1st or 2nd down sometime? And how about adding some slants or dig patterns for the wideouts? Central seems to run two pass plays - a three level flood route (with a roll out) or a bomb to a tight end every time they pass the ball. You don't need to be a great defense if you know that's all they're going to do. Coaching - The coaches are probably great guys. But they do a disservice to the kids if they don't put them in a position to win. Example - nobody is talking about what happened after PN tied the score. PC went down the field to the 15 yard line with less than a minute left and one timeout. 1st down - quarterback bootlegs to the left. He gets tackled in bounds after gaining a few yards. But the coaches let the clock run down to 9 seconds before they called a timeout and then asked their kicker to make a field goal from a tough angle and he missed. All they had to do was run up and spike the ball on 2nd down, run the ball to the center of the field on 3rd down, call timeout and kick an easy field goal to win it. My point is, as a coach, you have to be prepared for those situations and put your kids in the best position to win. Btw, I was there when they blew that game at Lancaster. Crenshaw panicked and it cost them. But they didn't give up on him and look what happened with him. I'm not ready to give up on the rb yet. But he needs to be coached up. I'm not a PC hater. I just want them to do better. They would have more than 2 titles if they just stepped it up with the offensive coaching.
