SFA85 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Okay board nerds and football fanatics. Knowing what you do about the Spread vs. other traditional offenses, plus knowing what's coming down the pipe as far as talent goes, would you run the spread or something else?
SFA85 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 Mix it up! [move]STUMP STUMP STUMP STUMP STUMP[/move] I can say Stump does switch to the Triple I formation inside the 10. Unlike a certain school on Jefferson Drive that will remain nameless....
dayton Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 In Dayton we have some good size coming up which might give us some success in a power running type O but... that size isn't gonna be here for long enough to make a change IMO. Plus... I feel like our kids have a good grasp of the O and our D hasn't been soft because of it. Well, it hasn't been soft against power running teams. The only running teams to have much success against us lately are NF and Livingston. I'll stick with what we got going!
Gabe Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Why even bring Stump into this conversation? Don't we have enough of that going on in other threads?
GoBigBlue1997 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 IDK... I like smash mouth football. Its something about the attitude that comes with it. The mentality that you know what is coming, try to stop it. The spread is too gimmiky for me. I think it is creative, but its too much like chess than football. I say run the pill.

There's not all that much difference in whatever scheme you're running...execution is the key especially in High School. I prefer whatever offense can go down and stick it in the endzone the most times. You typically score quickly out of the spread which means you're always in the game. Up 14-0 against a spread team is ALOT different than 14-0 against a team running the triple option out of the flex-bone.
BMTSoulja1 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Run the ball! Put in some playaction or bootlet in there, and your good to go in my book!
Guest baseball25 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 If u want to see a real spread off and how its ran come do some chalk talk in hardin.
kvillefan1992 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 If you want to see a spread offense that is really good...go watch Muleshoe!!!! Sorry Hardin fans..you guys couldnt have even competed with these guys!!!
baddog Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 SFA85, what about LaMarque? Are they just the one in a thousand? They have had great offenses and defenses over the years. Maybe it has a lot to do with talent. Dayton has been doing well too.
Guest baseball25 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah bec they have better athletes thats a no brainer lol im talking bout learning the xs and os

Maybe it has a lot to do with talent. Dayton has been doing well too. Well I think the Spread O is personnel driven vs. just plug and play. You either have to have a slew of RB's coming through or a wave of QB's and WR's plus the Oline has to be stellar year in and out.

I was more curious about the defense, since you have always claimed that spread-o teams have soft defenses because they practice against the spread blocking schemes (which you call finesse blocking).

Where was Lumberton in the 4th round of the playoffs???

You either have to have a slew of RB's coming through or a wave of QB's and WR's plus the Oline has to be stellar year in and out. It's a different type of blocking for the O-Line. You don't need 300 lbs road-graters to run the spread or run and shoot or whatever name it will have in the future. It takes greater advantage of athletes in the open field and makes the defense cover the whole field instead of ramming 8 or 9 guys in the box. It doesn't work as well if you don't have a QB that can throw the ball.

My post was about teams having success strictly running the ball. L-town didn't score until they made some huge completions on the last drive. You've got to mix it up to be successful... which I'm sure you know.

You obviously had a better team the last two years and I'm not trying to say Lumberton was or is better, I was just merely pointing out the we had some success against Dayton and that we are pretty much a power running team. My response was only to Purples reply about our play-off exit.

I just felt like Livingston and NF were the teams who had a good deal of success strictly running the ball. You guys did what you had to do to win and that was mix the run with the pass. No disrepect to L-town.
liltex Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Broncos have 19 wins-5 losses to the Raiders in their history.Take out Credeur's success and it's same ole Team.3 of the 5 losses by 5 tot.pts.I would say that's success.Lumberton has improved lately,having 30 seniors in 07 was the ticket.
rollinac Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Uh-Oh, not this again....where's ROT to defend the mighty Raiders??
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 i rather the spread, but mix up the maryland-I in the redzone :-)
rollinac Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 I like the spread even more in the red-zone if you've got a QB who can run the ball.
