  1. I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. I don't remember thinking it was in favor of Cards, but more how it changed from batter to batter. Lefties had nothing called in on them in one inning then the next you could throw 2 balls off the plate in and you were getting rung up. Off the plate to righties was bad as well.

  2. I'm hoping the Giants and Cardinals get a chance to fight it out. Cardinals are so scrappy. I have no clue what's going to happen in the ALCS. Royals keep constant pressure on the pitcher. Orioles hitters make you pay for throwing a ball over the middle of the plate, which one gives...?

  3. Westwoood does not have people who get on smoaky - I did at one time but moved. I saw Westwood scrimmage Franklin in preseason. They are much improved from last year but they are going to struggle in this game.

     

    Will say their skill positions can hang with anyone. Where they will struggle is in the trenches. Hope it is not so because I know a lot of these kids - but - Malakoff overwelms in second half

    Their skill positions as in their 2 fast kids I've seen in their highlights? I agree, their 2 kids can run with anyone, but I think one of them plays one way and the other doesn't play much of the other side of the ball. Only 2 guys with speed will be tough to play against Malakoff with.

  4. Wasn't Posey up to bat? I wasn't watching at that time. I can't really comment, other than on my process of thinking. If Posey was up to bat, and he had a good AB against Zimmermen in his previous AB, I would've went to someone else. If he was fooled or hit something weak, I would've left Zimmerman. Nats have more than a few good arms in the pen, you would think they could get it done.

     

    The Angels have let me down, along with the Tigers. Goes to show no matter how much money you're paying guys, it's always about who is hot and who is not this time of the year. I though for sure with Scherzer, Verlander, and Price in a starting rotation that they would win the World Series, but they ran into a hot KC team. I don't have a legitimate prediction for who comes out on top of the AL. There's no telling. I do know this, I'm throwing around Nelly Cruz.

  5. Haven't had to use another coverage at all and I'm sure neither has malakoff. Everyone in the secondary runs 4.5 or faster. Coach O teaches these kids every defense in the bbook. I've seen em jump in a 50 look. 3-4. 4-4. 4-2. Just whatever they need to do to get job done and still have a ways to come but it is definitely getting better. Just hope its ready for the 24th BC if not it will be in the 50s for both teams in points scored

    You might not have said it, but the first line you typed here is agreeing with it. Bunch of homers with no football IQ. Where's player at? Atleast he brings something to the party...

  6. Heck bud your the one that said we need to watch out for Eustace two weeks ago and they only beat Mildred by 7!....come on bud you aren't as bright as you think

    I still think that. They won't blow anyone out. Their offense uses too much time. They are big, physical and mean, and teague doesn't do well against teams that are mean.

  7. Might have been one back in the day but I've seen the 4-4. 4 down linemen with 4 linebackers. Safety over the top with 2 corners. 4-4 or split defense you are referencing to what he used to run is what he is running now. The 4-4 or split is used for fast defensives with not much size so we have 8 men in the box to stop run but also have the speed to defend the pass. The main linebackers Crawford and bell don't move my h from inside backers but the other two are interchangeable. They can play off the edge or cover any receiver they come across with there speed. An is a good defense to transition into the 50 balanced look. So yes 4-4 or split is still around.

     

    Coach O teaching them all of it and game planning and putting them in the defense that we must run to stop the opponents

    Can't run cover 2 with 1safety

  8. Dude, seriously? The coaches changed, but the coaches don't play the game. Still the same jimmys and joes that the Malakoff team played last year. I checked the game at halftime between Shiro and Westwood and it was 7-6, you kidding me with that's?!? Shiro has played football for 4 years...

    If Malakoff is on upset alert, so it Teague because Kemp runs a clock chewing offense...

  9. Not sure people use the "4-4" anymore. Pretty sure Coach O isn't cover 2 either. I think he was a split guy back in the day. You guys should pay attention to the games more. Either that or brush up on your madden skills with homegrown

  10. So true. Tough recruiting road from small schools. A lot of guys go unnoticed by big programs and sometimes guys get more credit than they should based on dominating lesser competition.

    He can really play, but he's not SEC or Big 12 type of athlete. QBs are rare, so East Texas not having a front line guy is not that big of a deal. There's only 2 guys in TX that are top 50 and one is in Allen and the other in Stephenville.
