L.C. Bird so far...

[GilliamRatings]

I listened to the game on the radio last night, and they sounded like they were the keystone cops on offense. I sort of go the same feeling against Meadowbrook.

Still, when you win 31-0 and 35-7 against Meadowbrook and Thomas Dale, you're not playing poorly are you? I mean, that's not George Wythe and Midlothian.

The stats sheet I was e-mailed isn't impressive, either, except...

The defense has only allowed 58 yards so far this season (17 if you don't count the running clock TD drive Dale had against Bird's twos).

I feel like Bird's story is similar to some other early season favorites around the state. I keep hearing, "The offense seemed sluggish, but the defense was great...."

Next week Bird does play Midlothian, so we won't get a read there, but after that....Manchester. Then we'll know something.

Defense is a little a head of the offense right now. But what people must also realize is that they scored 2 offensive touchdowns and the defense scored 3 times....when you score 3 defensive tds the defense goes right back on the field again each time in which the game got out of hand quickly and in the 3rd qtr. Bird started putting in a lot of backups. Bird had some drives stalled by penalties but the most part the starting offense did not play long due to defense scoring 3 times and then having to come back on the field after each score. That's 3 possessions taken away from the offense right there and with the score getting out of hand you start substituting the starters
