88YoePride Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 We have a tremendous amount of respect towards Franklin. Should shape up to be a good one on Friday. Rockdale's biggest task of the night will be on the shoulders of its defensive front to try and contain that running attack the Lions bring. As for Franklin, it will be for them to limit the big plays from Rockdale's offense. The Tigers can stretch the field in the blink of an eye. Both staffs will have their work cut out for them this week A: Crawford will need to abuse Franklin's young defensive secondary. B: Tigers need to get other WRs involved to keep Lions D from cheating on Crawford the way McGregor did. C: Tigers have shown that if opposing D concentrates on Crawford, Ford will make them pay (Huge kudos on the 350 yds rushing, btw!). D: TIGER NATION NEEDS TO SHOW UP EN FORCE AND MAKE NOISE ALL NIGHT!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionpride08 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 franklin's back up qb can sling the ball.... didnt think we had a good back up qb. our dbs have got better they are not the greatest but the have improved. franklin has been getting their passing game goin somewhat. they dont pass the ball on every play but they pass the ball more now then they did against cameron.

D: TIGER NATION NEEDS TO SHOW UP EN FORCE AND MAKE NOISE ALL NIGHT!!! I agree with you on all of that 88YoePride. McGregor kept Crawford quiet last Friday and it only allowed RB Ford to step up and have himself a huge night on the ground for us. This Tiger offense can be as balanced as anyone in 3A D1 when need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronYOE Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Congrats Rockdale, like I said yall would win out and be district champs, no need for tiebreakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogs99 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Great game to watch, both teams played extremely hard. Franklin got a taste of a little home cooking Friday night at Tiger field. Clearly the best two teams in the district regardless of what the standings in district will say. Both teams will be hard outs regardless of who they play. Been told Yoe may have easier match ups in the playoff brackets, but the way they play defense and special teams no game will be easy. Good luck to all.

YoePride88 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Wow. Really surprised that's all that's been said here, considering everything Franklin fans elsewhere have to say about Rockdale and the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronYOE Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 clearly the best two teams in the district? even tho franklin finished the 3rd best team in the district? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoe09 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 clearly the best two teams in the district? even tho franklin finished the 3rd best team in the district? Yeah, one power poll does have Rockdale and Franklin ahead of Cameron, but that is because of the margin of victory. At the end of the day, how far the Yoemen go this season will depend on how the defense plays in the big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronYOE Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 rankings and power polls don't mean anything to me, anybody can win on any given night, but we did beat franklin and we finished second so that's what I was getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Houpteetx44 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thought Franklin did a terrible job of clock management at the end of the game. If I remember right, Rockdale called a timeout just prior to punting to Franklin for the final possession of the game, then coming out of that timeout, Franklin turned around and called the first of their three timeouts. Considering time expired with Franklin on the Rockdale 10 yard line (approx.), they sure could have used that time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
