I am interested in knowing what you know? Please elaborate.
LeeH Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 I wasn't at the game last night, but I live close enough to the stadium to hear the crowd noise. I was sitting on my front porch listening to the radio and the crowd. Anyway, I'm a long time fan of La Porte football, though I'm a Port Arthur native. My primary support always went to Port Arthur Jefferson until the consolidation. (I only mention that in the interest of full disclosure!)First of all, I'm happy for a win against Deer Park. However, giving up over 300 yards in the air is horrible. La Porte's run defense is stellar and is usually their strong point. But in a way, I'd almost rather see them give up a few more rushing yards a game and less passing yards. Overall, La Porte's offense struggled which they shouldn't have. Deer Park has given up over 300 yards total offense in every game this season, yet they held La Porte to around 200 or so. But, they scored in overtime when it counted. So they definitely get full credit for that.I just wish that La Porte would open up a little bit and start throwing the ball. Their offense is one dimensional. The only question is who will be running it since they do spread the carries around. However, I understand why they aren't throwing that much this season. It just would be nice to see them throw more than 3 or 4 passes a game. I know some folks were upset with the decision to kneel the ball there with a minute or so left and just take it to overtime, but I support that decision. No sense risking an interception by throwing it downfield. And with La Porte's inability to stop the pass, Deer Park could have hit a long one and put themselves in field goal position with a few seconds left on the clock.But in a rivalry game like this, all records and stats go out the window when the game starts. Full kudos to La Porte for pulling out the win. And as much as I HATE to say this, I have to give props to Deer Park for not giving up and fighting their way back into the game. They should be proud of their performance (other than the costly turnovers, of course).
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Hit the nail on the head sir
LP0175 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Their pass coverage again is the weak link in the chain. I sat with knowledgable fans last nite and we discussed the way the secondary does not communicate. Plenty of times the safties would cover the outside half of the field getting over the top of the reciever but the corners would be also playing the outside half leaving the middle open. The flats were left open on several blitzes, the out routes were broken on late. Poor tackling on the two final tds that the deer scored was piss-poor by the dogs. The pursuit was not there. The DARKSIDE chose the wrong time to "allow light to shine" lol. But seriously I worry about our secondary coverage bc we play a efficent Channelview team that is tossin the pigskin around like backyard ball. If we don't correct this then we are in a world of hurt anday find ourselves fighting for a play-off spot.
