With there being no other Tallmadge fans regularly on this site, I'll do my best to inform about the Blue Devils on this thread.

Hopefully we will have a few active Chardon fans who will give us who to watch for and what to expect out of the Hilltoppers.

If Tallmage doesn’t run a 5 man defensive line and isn’t already a potent run stop defense they are in for a long night
 
It will be interesting to see what changes Tallmadge makes going into this game. I would say that Tallmadge has had a balance defense this season. They have been able to stop the run and pass against some teams and have struggled against others (particularly Highland). Tallmadge rotates a number of players on defense that are athletic and hard hitters. Not positive but it appears they will continue to miss their all-state defensive end. That was a tough loss for the defense a few weeks ago.

Looking forward to this game.

Exciting 1st round matchup!
 
Anyone know what Chardon's weakness is on defense?

Tallmadge tries to pass the ball a little more than run it but has more success on the ground. Tallmadge will run 4 different running backs (Maclean, Kanatzar, Cuva, and Miles). Their passing game hasn't really gotten going yet. They have had some success in a couple of the blowouts. Their best WR is Reifsnyder (#1). He's a deep threat that can make acrobatic catches. Is Chardon more susceptible to the pass or run? I think Tallmadge will try to exploit whichever is weaker.

From a fan’s perspective, I would say Chardon isn’t more dominant defensively in one aspect more than the other. Teams have been able to do both at times against us. If it were me, I’d rather face a more prominent running team.

This not a Chardon State Championship or Final Four team of the years past, but they are solid. If things come together and they begin to play with passion and a sense of urgency, anything can happen.

Injuries have also played a prominent role this season as well. We still lose the games we lost with those guys, but I’d feel better about a possible run if they were healthy.
 
Chardon looks to be the overwhelming favorite in the poll.

Looking forward to traveling to Chardon. Hopefully the weather is not a factor in the game.

The key to beating Chardon is a 5 man dline,and u don’t want penetration.Play even with the line of scrimmage.when u get penetration they cut up inside.when I played against them 35+ years ago our coach said “ you hit that QB every play weather he has the ball or not and by the 2nd quarter he won’t want to carry it and that’s one less ball carrier we have to worry about”
 
I NEVER say anything about the officials, but there was a BLATANT holding that wasn’t called on that 4th and 2. The dude literally tackled the outside linebacker.
 
Tallmadge can't stop Chardon offense. 3 big plays so far.

Tallmadge should be able to move the ball. Too many mis fired passes already.
 
Chardon good defense against the run. Tallmadge has had a number of open receivers but passes aren't getting there.
