You can say that again! I know that all too well!
One good thing about Final 4 in West
- Thread starter Hampton Roads 6
- Start date
Yet you support an offense (Double Wing) that is in the same category of being predominately run oriented? Or maybe you don't care for that either, just puzzles me some of the people that do not like the Single Wing. I enjoy seeing it run correctly but I suppose I am in the minority, lol.
I would disagree since you do not have a QB under center in the Single. It's like saying Spread Shotgun is the same as the Pistol. The variations within the offense are different. I agree they are in the same category but they are not the same thing.
I hate the double wing as well.
I see why we run it now but the past 4 years with the athletes we had I think it was a crutch.

If you look at it that way, I see your point. I happen to like the Wing T, Double Wing, and Single Wing. As the line in Remember the Titans go, "it's like Novocain, give it time".
You're high if you think you could have run the spread. Of course I like when teams think they can do that and can't pass block worth a nickel. Let me say Wilsons run blocking was spot on and in no way am I implying they were not very very good. Around these parts though, you don't have a lot of time to get the ball out so unless you are running the New England paper cut offense, it's not overly effective.
This year no.
But we ran the spread very well in the 3 years prior when we decided to.
With Gochenour at QB (Scholarship for baseball) you had 6'5" Cullen(Scholarship to JMU) 6'4" Justin Leary (Can't remember what college he's at playing ball) 6' Thai Wright (Scholarship to Army for football)
Juh Kwquan McCauley was an ideal slot receiver. Savant Swift is playing college ball at Shepard. Then Chapman as a blocking back.
Many people don't know that 4 of our football players won a state championship in track. But were DQ'd due to the baton being dropped(after crossing the finish line)
We had the speed and size to run any offense we wanted the past 4 years.
Now this year the offense we run is much more suited for us

Well with that said, either your wrong on your evaluation or the coaching staff is not very good at utilizing talent. I never did understand Cullen not playing TE for you guys. Decent QB but could have been impactful blocking and running routes. Gochenour filled in pretty well when Cullen had the hand issue.
Your statement about this year the team being more suited to run this offense just makes my point. 725 or so kids and not enough talent to run the spread. It's more common to not have enough than to have the class that graduated last year. The run oreinted offenses rely less on the talent level of the skill players but puts a premium on line play.

Oh I dont argue a bit that the offense we run now suits the talent pool we have. I'm just saying the previous group I believe was handicapped by that offense.
Brandon was always the better pure passer. Mack has sneaky speed that people didn't really seem to notice.
Brandon had to have Tommy John surgery though and that pretty much ended him being the QB. We were very fortunate for a while to have two players with their talent available at QB.

I don't think you can bounce back and forth and be successful. One group running the pistol another group coming up running a version of the wing. If you consistently get those athletes like Richlands does, then run spread from the time they put pads on. If not find the O that is the least effected by graduation of skill players and train from midgets on.
And Cullen rumbled down the side line( sometimes out, lol) against us enough for me to know he had a little speed.

I have absolutely no flippin idea what you guys are talking about. Spread, double wing, single wing, etc. I know Clarke runs the single wing, but I have absolutely no idea what that is. Can someone edumacate me PLEASE!! I am VERY ignorant! Thanks!
Union formed in 2011, and have ran a different offense each season according to what talent they have.
2011 - 2 back set with double TE and a single WR
2012 - Full house T formation
2013 - T formation and pro set
2014 - spread exclusively. mostly pass with a little running
2015 - spread formation, but very balanced between running and passing. T when needed.
The only thing consistent has been some use of the T each season
I have no reason to doubt that whatsoever, but I think you may be a little surprised if you see some of the Richlands' players close up. I know I was.
Single wing is more fun to watch because no QB is under center. I hate any offense that has QB under center. I wish the NFHS would tweak rules and require every QB to take snap from shotgun.
