AbndonFan 10 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 The G-Men leave the middle of the field wide open. They Blitz a lot. Their backers play at 5-6 yrds deep. They are big but slow up front. so either the falcons will throw across the middle when they blitz or run around the ends. Falcons win a close one. 21-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling those little quick passes won't come as easy as you think... It takes 2 or 3 seconds for those receivers to get in position (even if it's across the middle). Graham's LB's can be on top of you in 2 seconds. The linemen will have their hands full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghs84 10 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 i dont know if i would throw across the middle or not on Graham.that could be dangerous and costly.Graham's ability to stop the pass has gotten better and better every week.you cant expect to win on passing alone.for the pass to be effective you gotta have a running game.Graham has a defense thats been overlooked.

CPF 411 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 [ QUOTE ] All due respect - Richlands' passing game graduated last year - Austin is a receiver. The Gmen haven't faced a duo like Henderson and Bailey. Lets be real man! [/ QUOTE ] That's funny, I thought they returned 3 of 4 starting recievers..... And your line hasn't faced a bunch that is going to smack you in the mouth like the G-Men will. You are a finesse football team, translation: your football team is soft. You aren't playing Battle this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] After seeing both teams i have to give the edge to Abingdon. I think their passing game is just too much for Graham. And with it being at Abingdon that helps alot too. Good luck to both teams. [/ QUOTE ] Ryan, you're just a "hater". Graham stopped Richland's passing game, Abingdon should be no different...Bailey is good, but he is not Fuller. [/ QUOTE ] Number one im not a "hater" of the football team. Just the band, and i have my reasons. Number two that was uncalled for. I was just stating my oppinon of how i see the games playing out.

4gmen 10 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 The teams you have played make you soft.

The only time the Falcons were put to the test was against Richlands. And you lost. And the loss to a single A Honaker says something.

That the quarterback played like crap and couldn't hold on to the ball, or that Logan Ball made the most amazing pick I've seen in High School Football, or that special teams gave up a blocked punt for a td, or that two of Abingdon's TO's(The Quarterback) were inside the 20? You're right it does say something. The Falcons to put it nicely played like crap. They had 6 TO's and still had a chance to win the game in the closing seconds. The fact that they kept their heads and battled back with all that was going on says something. So thanks for the compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghs84 10 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 different teams have different styles.and Graham's style has been very effective over abingdon in the past.If Abingdon has a problem stopping the run,well they will be in big trouble friday night.and Graham can stop the pass and the run.i think Abingdon's offense is overated because of their weak schedule.and Graham is underated because of their tough schedule.Graham has had an extra week to heal,rest and get ready for Abingdon.they are hungry to get back on the gridiron.and ready to welcome Abingdon to the SWD Graham G-Men style.

123456789 10 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I wouldn't say Abingdon was soft at Honaker just their D-Line was undersize to Honaker O-Line that was just pushing the D-Line around. Honaker's line actually played up to their potential that night. Abingdon's run game also was shut down cause of the size of the D-line for Honaker but the passing game was awesome due to the fact of the corners cushion and also the corner not giving up on the pass routes the receiver were running. If Abingdon beats Graham it will be with the pass but Graham's corners plays up on the line and do a bump and run to throw the timing off Abingdon will be in for a long night if not Abingdon has about the best 4-5 yard timing patters I've saw for a long time.

Anybody remember 2003 and 2004 when these two teams played??? Abingdon put Graham back on the schedule after not wanting to play them for several years (actually for the first time since 1983)... 2003...Abingdon comes in 4-1, talking about how bad they are going to beat Graham with their awesome offense, Graham 49-14. Wasn't it like 42-0 in the second quarter??? 2004...Graham goes into Abingdon 3-2 and struggling, having lost badly to both Bluefield and Richalands...Graham 50-21. I'm not saying the game is going to be a "blowout" like those two games were but Graham seems to have Abingdon's number...the Falcons just don't match up well against Graham...
