    Salem 48 Amherst County 20 Final

    Your right. You win. That’s what you want to hear. I’ll be sure to tell the Salem coaches when I see them next time that they have no idea what they are doing, and have been calling their defense wrong all these years. It’s a wonder that they can even get the kids to line up correctly. If only...

    Salem 48 Amherst County 20 Final

    I have said repeatedly that 42 is in the box. He is an inside backer. I said he will bump out versus certain formations, and when that happens the mike will slide over the center. That is when Salem’s defense looks like a typical 4-3. If you were to ask one of Salem’s defensive coaches what they...

    Salem 48 Amherst County 20 Final

    Your original point was that sutphin was a safety/backer hybrid. He isn’t. The Salem coaches do not consider him an end. They think of him as a strong side backer who will walk up on a TE. They call it a 4-2 because there are only 2 backers in the box in their base. #42 is the will backer, and...

    Salem 48 Amherst County 20 Final

    I didn’t say you had to have a zero technique to be a five man front. I said in an odd front defense you have a zero technique player. I know he can shade one way or the other. Salem doesn’t typically play a zero technique or shade. There are 4 down linemen and two backers. That’s the 4-2. The...

    Salem 48 Amherst County 20 Final

    Generally speaking, in a 4-3, the mike backer is lined up over the center. Salem only does that when both outside backers are out of the box. Salem keeps two backers in the box and slides out #31 vs no tight end formations normally. If there is a tight end, 31 walks up on the outside of him...

    Salem 48 Amherst County 20 Final

    Sutphin is a hybrid, but it’s a def. end, linebacker mix. He has never played back as a safety. Their base is a two backer look. The only time they are a 4-3 look is when their weak side backer moves out into the slot and the mike backer moves over into a zero technique.

    Actually, their base defense is a 4-2-5.

    A Spartan hope

    I think it shows how much better the defense got as the year went on. If you look at the playoffs, when theoretically they should have been playing the best teams, the defense played very well.

    Football Speed vs. Track Speed

    Salem has a weight training class but it is not pushed by the administration. There is currently only one section of it per semester, and it is the first period of the day. Also, Coach Mag and staff encourage the students to play other sports. Always have. They do pressure the football...

    Thanks Spartan. It looks like we were as even on our picks as is possible. I hate leaving any decision to a coin flip. Even that came down to the last toss.
