Lumberton continues to grow....and grow.... Won't be the smallest forever....

Posted

The Raiders will put points on the board.  Will there defense be up to the challenge?  They will be a better team than last year but won't have the luxury of sneaking up on anyone this year! ;D

Growing is not the same as winning, I personally am pulling for them.

I just do not know what it will take for them to compete and win on a consistant basis.

I agree it's not. Still, though, more and more depth is being accumulated, and, eventually, the firepower will come around, too. Going forward, I think Lumberton is a "monster in the making"... People used to think Nederland couldn't ever win, either...everyone sure believes now!

4-6, unless their defense gets a whole lot better. 6-4 if their defense plays well.

yes l-town is going to be running a entirely different defence. and like it was said even the defencive line is fast i'm not sure if 4.9 is accurate but i know they are all in the low 5's at least if not all under 4.9. I know this next season wont be a OUTSTANDING one but i think L-Town will surprise some people.... and who knows maybe even the playoffs this year 8) 8) :o

They have gone to an 4-3 this year, and nobody slower than a 4.9 is even on the def. roster. So that gives all of the bigger guys more time to work on o-line.

Really ?

Below 4.9 is very, very fast line. Here is an excerpt from an article on NFL.com about DB's 40 times.

Quick hits from Indy: Day 6

The 40-yard dash times for the first group of defensive backs were phenomenal. Among the highlights were safety LaRon Landry of LSU running a 4.32, Chris Houston of Arkansas (4.35), Leon Hall of Michigan (4.38), Michael Griffin of Texas (4.41), Tarell Brown of Texas (4.48) and Michael Coe of Alabama State (4.49). Overall, it was a very fast group.

In the second group of defensive backs, 26 of the 27 ran in the 40-yard dash. The only one who didn't was Darrelle Revis of Pittsburgh, who chose not to work out. The highlights of the second group were Marcus McCauley of Fresno State and Kenny Scott of Georgia Tech with 4.35s, Eric Wright of UNLV with a surprising 4.40 and Josh Wilson of Maryland with a 4.32. Wilson, however, did not run as fast the second time. Wilson's father, Tim, was a second-round draft choice of the Houston Oilers and had a long career with the team as a fullback.

If 4.4 is fast for an NFL DB, below 4.9 for a HS line is excellent.

I know that the 1 technique is prob be Mark Murall who runs a 4.9 and the 3, Jacob Hanna who runs a 4.6. The two ends Johnathon Ward 4.8 and Kendall Duvall 4.8.

Actions speak louder than words...most likely people wont believe you unless they see the lumberton D actually do some good stuff. But if they do in fact run those time, it makes me wonder there weight.

4.9 is not that unique for a d-linemen. A 6'2 250lb d-linemen that runs a 4.9 or so would be great. but I think Lumberton is talking about smaller, almost LB type (5'10, 200lbs) guys playing down on the D-line. so I'm assuming, they will be trying to shoot some gaps. Just a guess though.

4.8 DE's at WOS, Jasper, Silsbee and etc would be considered slow. I'd have to see the one kid run a 4.6 to believe it. Was he at the combine? Where the PNG guys they were talking about in the other thread at WB's combine?

i also remember this year even though murill is only about 6'0- 220lbs. he took out Vidors big o-lineman that was all district and a monster of a man. so even though Lumbertons guys may not be monster big they are tough and dont give up.

How many seniors will Lumberton have starting this season? Weren't they full of jr's last year?

Guest Raider911

There are going to be right at about 30 Sr, 10 Jr, and 1 Soph. This isnt exactly right but give 1 or 2 and its just about right.

Posted

Don't forget about Cody Hussey I have know him a long time that boy is a football player.

No doubt, Mr. Hussey is a hoss, he will be a factor to contend with this year as well.

We will all find out how "fast" Lumberton is after their first district game (when Dayton visits)...

My gut instincts now are.....

The Raiders will be chasing down Broncos all night....

Don't think the Raiders have enough "speed" to compete with Dayton or Central, but they may squeek into third....

The race for third place this year should be as interesting as last year....

Posted

Lumberton is not fast by any means but they are faster and better than last year. It will be an interesting year in the district. I think all the playoff spots will be fought for. I dont see anyone just running away with it but I do think Dayton is the favorite. top to bottom the district is very strong.
