GoodOleBoy73 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Lindale travels to Pine Tree to take on the pirates in a big District 9-4A battle It is pretty much a must win for the Eagles unless they get some help (if my sources are right about playoff situation) Lindale blanked Mabank 36-0 last week while Pine Tree won a close one 20-14 over Chapel Hill.

Thoughts on this one? Pine Tree is a very good complete team. I think it will be tough for lindale to get the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreateMyAccount Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Pine Tree should win and lock up 2nd, very impressive season for the pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoEagles Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Lindale definitely capable of winning but PT will be favored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeelee05 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Lindale is definitely capable of winning. PT will be favored for sure but I think Lindale knowing that they are fighting for their playoff lives will come out focused and determined. They have got to clean up the dumb penalties though. Defense was on fire last night but I think they were getting a little over zealous. Honestly I liked the energy but just gotta stop hitting the qb after he throws the ball lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeelee05 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Honestly the fact that PT barely beat a depleted CH gives me more hope for Lindale. I thought PT would have won by more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I liked the energy but just gotta stop hitting the qb after he throws the ball lol Correct me if I'm wrong - take away that drive that had all the penalties in it and Mabank didn't cross mid-field on their own more than once? I think they had 1 long pass play that got them over midfield but drive stalled. Defense was absolutely DOMINANT last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion7000 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 This one will be interesting. I suppose Chill is going for PT right. Winning your own game helps tremendously but nice seeing a backup plan ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalman Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Could see this going either way. Both are well balanced solid teams that play four quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s no secret Indeed they are but number 24 for chapel hill arguably played better than Rickey did all season he had 110 rushing yards and didn’t play the first half and brisbon missing you can’t do much without you starting qb nonetheless the chapel hill qb was throwing dots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfan99 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 If Pine Tree can stay focused it is their game to lose. However, it is hard to show up week after week. The Speed of the Pine Tree WR's will give the Lindale DBs trouble. If they an contain the deep ball Lindale could shake up the district with a win here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, I think you hit on the #1 concern for Lindale. We historically are bad against the pass. Plus, we haven’t faced a good passing team yet in district. If PT gets time to throw and our DB’s don’t play well, this game is over. But I will say, this is our best secondary in years. Plus, With our offensive woes this year, we can’t get into shootouts. Our defense was absolutely OUTSTANDING against Mabank…… but it is mabank. PT is 40-50 points better than Mabank. Gonna be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your point that this is our best secondary in a few years, but I would also say that our defensive front is the best it has been maybe ever. A defensive front that puts pressure on the QB helps when you struggle in the secondary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is rather than blitzing and applying pressure with our LB's, we only rush 4 and drop 7 and that strategy did not work well against Kilgore or TCH. We need to apply pressure and make that QB nervous. We will see how it plays out Friday night. I am always a fan of blitzing and pressure vs. dropping and keeping everything in front of us.
