Sources 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 I just got back from the game and here is my assessment: - Princeton's offensive line dominated most of the game and held Bluefield's defensive line/linebackers in check on a consistent basis. - Bluefield's secondary had major problems with coming up to meet the blocks by pulling guards and once they had them locked up, the Princeton players could take them anywhere they wanted to go. We are lacking a physical presence in the secondary and I'm sorry, but Eric McClanahan doesn't belong in the safety position. He got ran over more times than I can remember tonight. - Jon Payne played a hell of a game tonight, with several long runs for TDs which basically kept Bluefield in the game late. One was on a punt return which made the score 17-16 I believe and finally he scored one late in the game to make it 30-24. This kid is a big time playmaker and some of the jukes he put on the Princeton defense tonight were amazing. - Probably the biggest thing that hurt Bluefield once again was the lack tackling fundamentals. Letting people run by you and jumping on their back isn't going to cut it by any means. - The Bluefield defense got tired late in the game and gave up scores on third and long on two crucial possessions down the stretch, which ultimately sealed their fate. Finally I would like to say congratulations to Princeton on a well played game. This is a team that may end up making some noise in the AAA playoffs.

beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well the doctor cleared him to play in the game tonight but the coaches are holding him out till the grundy game. And that gives him overall 3 weeks for his knee to heal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Maurice didn't play as much as you all think..McClanahan took plenty of snaps out of shotgun tonight Maurice had some very very impressive runs tonight..Including one he took about 80 yards before the refs called a bs holding call. Payne also had some impressive runs tonight. McClanahan started out slow but by the 2nd half he completed some pretty passes. Ponder dropped a pass in the endzone which a defender went over his back but of course no call, he also could of had a nice gain but timed his jump to early. Maurice looked pretty good at QB but I would keep him at RB cuz he had some really nice runs. Princeton offensive line was a beast. They were making huge holes for there backfield to run through. Special teams hurt us big time 2..On the kickoff princeton ran it back to about the 3 yard line, and then on a punt Keczan steps out of the endzone for a safety In my opinion we need to put the best players on the kickoff team b/c it is giving the oposing teams to good field position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sources 10 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Everything will else will fall in to place once they address these issues on defense and believe me, they're major issues. While tackling and other defensive fundamentals like ripping/running through a block aren't learned in a week, it's something that can be achieved by season's end.

I don't think I ever heard him make it through a sportscast without getting lost or confused at least twice. And when he did, he'd stumble and fill with "Gotta love it" [/ QUOTE ] "Check that..." Is what I always remembered him saying when he messed up on air. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatbeaver 10 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Trust me guys those issues will be resolved. You have to remember that a few of those guys are not accustomed to the smack you in the mouth-type football that the beavers play.Actually a few of them have never played football as we know it. If there is one thing that i can assure you of it would be that Coach Simon and company will have their guys ready to play come next week. This is not the first time that beavers have faltered in the first couple of games and then rebounded only to have their critics quickly realize how stupid it is to count a man or in this case men out before the season is over. I am looking for a complete turnaround very soon. Keep your eyes open. Oh!!!!!!! GOD BLESS THE BEAVERS!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
