We're losing a lot of defensive firepower....could see nearly 20 sophomores on varsity next year so there will be plenty of youth... BUT we'll be in the hunt as usual. 2022 is a completely different story though. Link to post Share on other sites

Quick 306 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I want to give a shout out to out Defensive Coordinator, John Berry today and this season overall. Brother, you done a phenomenal job and I seen the difference in your playcalling from the last time you were here. Keep up the good work. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

How far has your program fallen that you're having to hide behind the #1 team in the state? How far have we fallen? Off the cliff and off the radar. There is little hope of Lufkin being where Longview was today in the near future. Good year Lobos. Link to post Share on other sites

We knew this before the game and it was one of my main concerns if you go back and read my posts before the game. But that's why I couldn't understand the play calling. Why go away from Hale? And even if you wanted to run....why not utilize Meredith's strenghts...stretch plays to the outside instead of having him attack the 1 and 2 hole so much. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Same to Lufkin...really hope Lufkin ISD has courage to make needed changes...way too much talent down there to let it go to waste...if they don’t get a solid coaching staff down there you guys may pass the point of no return...

ANTI 1,646 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 On 12/21/2020 at 3:21 PM, ANTI said: HP and Ryan have similar offenses. Not the same to the tee (HP utilizes a lot more crossing routes than DR) but...makeup of their offenses are very similar. Talents at the QB position, playmakers out wide...you dont worry about the run too much although both are capable of running the ball. But check this out. I consider HP to have the best OL in all of 5AD1 this year. The Lobo defensive front more than held their own vs HP and everyone that they've faced this year. Lancaster also has a pretty good OL and again, the Lobo DL showed up. I've seen people say that Lancaster's starting OL didn't play the other night but thats completely false. I was there....all of their starters played including the D1 guys. They just couldnt block Longview. So, when Ryan has the ball....I have to give Longview the edge in the trenches. Victory for Longview will come down to the answer of these questions which all involve the offense.... Can Longview avoid shooting themselves in the foot offensively? Literally the only reason Longview loss to HP was offensive miscues. Namely, a bunch of false start penalties on promising drives. Even with all of that...Longview had a chance to win it but a late game fumble in HP territory was the nail in the coffin. Can Longview control the LOS offensively? This is a tremendous Ryan DL. Nasty LBs right behind it. HP I believe may be just as good in the front 7 and both Markevion Haynes and Kaden Meredith had over 100 yards in that matchup. Haynes had 155. If LV can control the LOS, they can control the game. And finally, can Allen get the ball to Hale? I mentioned it earlier in the year but I havent seen a secondary in 5AD1 that can control Jalen Hale for 48 mins. Not even HP could, he had almost 100 yards in that game and plenty of other oppurtunities. Many of us left that game saying if Longview doesn't have youth at the QB position....its a decisive win in Longview's favor. He may be a sophomore but he certainly doesnt play like one. Although that last point wasn't necessarily on Allen, it was on play calling....the answer to all 3 of those questions were NO which is why we ultimately took a L. Link to post Share on other sites

His paperwork with the state was still being processed is my understanding....since his was still in the eyes of the state under the custody of his mother, he wasn't eligible as his mother still resided in another ISD 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dropped interception by Longview that turned into points at the end of the half for Ryan completely changed the game, imo. Lobos go into half winning instead of down 6, who knows. But ifs ands & buts don’t matter after that second half performance. You’re right. Ryan is the better team. No doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites
