Anyone have INFO on St. Paul???

[bucfan64 309]

Looking for some info on St. Paul. What do they run on offense/defense any threats etc.

[Purpose 10]

Don't really know anything about the Deacon's except they were beaten soundly by Holston last week.

 

From what I hear St. Paul should finish in the cellar in the Cumberland District which isn't considered a strong football district.

 

I would think the Panthers need not worry about this one, but hey, anything is possible in high school sports.

 

The Panther's offense should break 40 points this week with the D giving up only 7.

Hurley scrimmaged them this year. Against us, they did alright. Primarily, they used the I with a WR to each side and run the TB #44 on isolations most every down. They didn't look good at all throwing; little separation and nobody seemed willing to make the extra effort to catch the tough balls. There line had good size, but just do not fire off the ball. If you slant your DLine and have good tackling LBs, you can stop there running game. If not, #44 is a beast to bring down and he has good speed for his size.

 

Defensively, they do not tackle very well. They run a 3-5 Defense and are very susceptible to the run. However, they blitz the interior line a lot and if you catch them in that, Sweeps will likely burn them. #44 is, again, there biggest threat defensively. He plays the center ILB and blitz's right over the center a lot. When he goes, the OLBs will blitz too and they blitz very wide.
