Gramps50 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Typical Marshall. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the team rallies around Brent. Thing about it if you can’t do right the only correct result is your gone. Hate to see a talented kid like JJ trash his ticket away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a pretty good arm and he can move when need be but no jj in that regard. I’m sure coach g and the rest of the staff will get a good gameplan around him. Now first game as a starter against Longview might be a little rough but we shall see. I hope you are right....hope the best for him and marshall...except this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAWG91 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Wow. I had refrained from picking blow out vs close etc until now. This cant be good for morale of the team. Of course the optimist in me would say this just gives someone else a chance to step up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackAttack Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Don't know the details of the Marshall QB not on the team, I read the article. However, sometimes things like this can bring a team together as well. No matter how talented someone is for you, if they are the elephant in the room, then maybe this change is good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly sounds like he was a cancer in the room and out. Hope the Mavs can come together, post this week of course, and put their season back on the tracks.

ANTI Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 So.. Burris gets his first start vs one of the best, if not the best Lobo front 7's of the John King era....who by the way just got Laqualon Hale back (didn't play LP game because of very minor injury), one of the best 2021 LB's in the state. And, in Longview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Is what it is at this point. Longview just needs to worry about themselves, do what they do and get out with no injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter what 11 are lined up in front of 'em, our guys have got to focus and execute. Get better with each snap. Lotsa football still to go.

Knowing how well the defense played against Lufkin, and now getting a bigger piece of that said defense back, AND now knowing that Marshall is breaking in a new quarterback, should we be disappointed with anything but a shut down effort? Obviously not expecting them to completely shut down everyone, as that's just not the type of defense we've played in a long, long time. Even against Lufkin, it was still a more bend but don't break defense...which I expect to continue throughout the year. But what do y'all who have been to practice or even just last week, think our expectations should be going into Friday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will make a great defense even better! His brothers are ballers as well. Tyree Hale would be a starting safety at alot of schools. Filled in nicely when Shannon Jackson got booted in that LP game for apparent targeting. We could easily move Jackson back to offense making him and Meredith a dynamic duo at RB while Tyree starts at safety but I'll gladly take the defensive depth without question. Then of course, the freshman sensation Jalen Hale at WR... Those Hale's can play. OL should be getting more deeper with an addition as well this week, if not next.

LoboFan07 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thought I'd add a couple more notes before Friday's game.. Marshall has led for a total of 11 plays at Lobo Stadium since their 1998 upset victory over the Lobos. 9 of those plays came in 2001, when the Mavs took a 16-14 lead over the Lobos in the 3rd quarter. Longview had a kickoff return then an 8 play drive before taking the lead for good. The other two plays came two seasons ago, when the Mavs took a 7-0 lead on the Lobos in the first quarter, only for a long kickoff return and a long touchdown run erased that lead. Longview is hosting Green Out this Friday night. The Lobos are 15-2 all-time in Green Out games, and have won their last four. This will be Marshall's second visit to Longview during a Green Out game. Previous came in 2017, when the Lobos won 41-7. Longview is also hosting Homecoming this Friday night. Longview is 39-13-4 all-time in Homecoming games, and have won the last 15 in a row. John King has never lost a Homecoming contest. Marshall returns to Longview for their 6th appearance during a Lobo homecoming game, and first since 1977. The Lobos are 3-2 in the previous 5 homecoming games against Marshall.

There are college sports information directors (SIDs as we call them) who don't know half as much about their teams as he does the Lobos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
