I agree, it is silly to think JF's offense can be stopped. You have to try and slow them and not give up the home run. Easier said that done. 12 other teams haven't been able to do it yet.
You know there are two other backs in this game----Clayborne and Ramsey
Not taking anything away from Ramsey and Clayborne but, I have seen both teams play several times the last two years and I have to say, Navy is probably the best player in 4A west. That's not underestimating the two backs from Salem at all. Navy is a special type of player! And I'm not a JF or Salem fan, that's just my observation
No doubt... Ramsey and Clayborne are very good backs. One might venture to say "special". No disrespect to these 2 at all! The difference being the "essence" of triple option. Jones or Miller? Check? Ok, who is gonna carry? Play the assignment and if something breaks down, they get to the house. Ramsey and Clayborne work in a totally different scheme. It's doesn't take 11 guys to defend the I Formation... The one saving grace is Salem's ability to throw down field. Swallow that pill after watching Woodgrove have some success throwing against JF and you have the makings of a good game! Did I just talk myself into another argument for a solid ball game?
Would you like for someone to contact Ken Tilley and have him send the trophy to
Not really...but you are talking like you playing for the ship even though next week is ur state finals.
Huh?? You have completely lost me aw19752. Maybe you should read the posts a couple times before pressing the reply button. Lol
As the great Cris Carter would say... "Come on man!" Seriously buddy learn to read the meaning of a post before replying. Did you really not see where I said that LT was the huge favorite regardless of who comes out of the West? And yes we are talking about playing for a "ship" because 2 teams will be in the next couple weeks. Am I missing something here??
Speaking of Ken Tilley, I just read an article that he is retiring at the end of next June.
First you giving the "shock the world" statement...now you backing off. In my mind LT's B game beats you by 12-15. Their A game will give you something like 41-16.
Clayborne is as fast as Jones. Miller is 15 lbs bigger than those guys, not quite as fast but still really quick. Ramsey is 216, definitely not as fast as the other 3, but he will run you over, hurdle you, spin on you and get the nasty yards. For his size he's pretty quick.
Salem mixes the run and pass pretty well. Beckley only has 5 interceptions on the year. Has a good arm, pretty accurate, high completion percentage, and can also run.
Seem like it should be a high scoring affair. JF by 12 is my guess.
Where do you see me backing off the "shock the world" statement? I stand by the fact that if Salem/JF were to beat LT it would shock the world. Also, we will have to agree to disagree about the score if Salem/JF plays flawless and LT plays their B game. You do realize that if Salem/JF plays flawless they probably score over 40 points?
Or you just failed to read it properly the first time and now you are backtracking.
Yes there are those who hate Salem and I guess you are now on that list. This is terrible news to the Salem community and there might have to be a City Wide meeting at the Stadium to consider this terrible news. In fact this is so important to us that we plan on meeting every Friday night next fall for about four or five months to consider your opinion.
