gary-us-bonds Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 I think this is as frustrated as I have ever felt as a Gander fan. Lee lost 42-27 tonight. The Ganders were up 14-13 at half time, but they ran out of juice the second half on defense. Seven Lakes piled up 412 yards rushing on over 50 carries. Jaevon Richardson continues to rot away on defense playing cornerback where he has absolutely no effect on the game. He's the best receiver in the district whenever they decide to open their eyes and take him off defense. Lee's new coach is young so he has time to grow into it and learn on the job, but this is a weeekly blunder like none I have seen. May as well put Andre Johnson at defensive end for the Texans, see what he can do from there.
Guest etbu Posted September 26, 2009 Report Posted September 26, 2009 Seven Lakes is not bad but is Lee done?
gary-us-bonds Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Posted September 26, 2009 SL isn't very good. Lee is even worse. SL is an average high school team. Just like Clear Creek and Rosenberg Terry were average high school teams that beat Lee. Lee had a couple of guys that didn't play, but the Ganders just don't have enough bodies out there to get much rest. A lot of guys have to play both ways. Lee was actually up 21-20 late in the third quarter, but they just wore down. Jaevon Richardson is the one guy that certainly should NOT play both ways. He should play receiver and return kicks, then go and sit in a recliner and be fanned and fed grapes til the offense is back on the field. He should never touch the field on defense for the rest of the year. They shouldn't allow him to even look at the field when the defense is in. Set up a tv on the sideline with reruns of the Cosby Show to take his mind off of defense. The Lee offense is leaving 14 points a game on the field by playing him almost exclusively on defense. the opposing coaches must be laughing amongst themselves on their bus ride home. He has 11 catches for 207 yards and 4 touchdowns in 4 games so far, and they have honestly only thrown the ball his way maybe 15 times through the four games. It's times like these that make you forget Olin's shortcomings. If nothing else, he knew when he had a star receiver on his hands. He would certainly never waste that much talent on defense.
