Spread offenses not fading away


Recommended Posts

You have to have the right chemistry to run it. Vidor is more suited for the Wing-T. A team like WOS is taylor made for the spread... if run correctly.

I said 15 years ago that the spread was going to change the face of football. What I can't believe is that article played NO ommage to the man who brought the Spread Offense to Texas. Art Briles was the first to run the offense at Stephenville back in the very early 90's. He took a program that was nothing more than a doormat and turned it into one of the top programs in Texas at any level. When he first started running this offense he made power houses look foolish. Programs well known for their defensive prowess like LaMarque.

Some old timers don't like it, but it ain't going anywhere...

It's kinda like Rodriquez bringing it to Michigan..You have to have the athletes and it has to be ran correctly.On the vidoe the coach said "we try to get outside when they have 7 in the box".Well you have to have a speedy RB and QB to get outside ,or the offense doesn't work. Rodriquez is running into problems his first year there ,because he doesn't have the right personnel to run it with.

Soulja you know I hate the spread more than anyone. SFA85 put it best when he said a spread offense makes for a weak defense.

Dayton gave up somewhere around 13 pts a game last year... including a bad beating in the semis (against a spread team). WOS also has a pretty good D. I get what you are saying about practicing against a finesse O, but Dayton shut down a lot of smash mouth teams last year and beyond.

    • Bye Week beat Beaumont United by double digits so not all is bad šŸ˜
    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big timeā€¦..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though.Ā 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week weā€™ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.Ā  Ā  That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosbyā€™s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosbyā€™s TE Landen Hammer is 6ā€™2ā€ and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesnā€™t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that weā€™ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we ā€œdonā€™t have the receiving talent that we used to.ā€ Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldnā€™t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldnā€™t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model donā€™t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids.Ā 
    • Big girl is trying to make Oprah sound like Bam Morris, who was busted with 220# of weed in the trunk of his car. When the cops opened the truck and found the weed, Bam said,ā€Thatā€™s not mineā€. Give me a break.
