Now that the toughest part of the regular season schedule is out of the way, Louisa has learned many things about their team. The most obvious comes from the scores and stats; the defense still needs a lot of work. That work continues this week, as I've heard some more personnel changes are being made. One of those changes might include a 6' 4" 250 lb. tight end moving to linebacker. That could end up being significant in their 3-5 scheme. The biggest issue, in my opinion, has been reading assignments and pursuing the ball. I think some improvement was made against Courtland from the Sherando game, but it's still far from where they need to be. With King George also running the Wing T now, the Lions will get more reps against it, and I think they'll show possible, maybe significant, improvement in those areas. Sure, King George's offense isn't Courtland's, but we'll still be able to see improvements. The talent is there, they just have to execute.
Offensively, the line finally all played together against Courtland (at least for a quarter), and it showed. There were maybe two low snaps all game, including one on a punt that was blocked, but nothing crazy or gut wrenching like the Sherando game. The line imposed their will at times on Courtland, and I think they will continue to improve against King George, even if one starter ends up being suspended. Last year, the squad ran pretty much all single wing and nothing else, but after a year under their belts and Jordan Cherry at QB and Marquis Lee eligible to play at WR, they're running a more wide open attack with multiple formations. I think teams will struggle to stop it all year, especially in the Jefferson District, and if the defense catches up to the offense....
I have that feeling. This is the week to get that swagger back and make a statement. Let's eat.
