Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Won't be making this game (sad face). Thoughts/comments? I know Wise likes to play old smash mouth football. I feel like Richlands defense is very capable of stopping it and making them play out of their element in catch-up mode. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercloud 179 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Left in 3th qtr was listening to WGTH, they said the coach was Luke Owens, VT O line alum, he played for Grundy back in their day did he not? said they played old fashion smash mouth. Give us some insight Redtiger. Power I, T, Wing-t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniON_FoOtBaLL 68 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 They spread teams out, then try smash it inside are have the QB pull an run. But I'm very confident that the Blues are to big an physical for them to do much of anything. But watch out for that QB Mullins he is slick hard to tackle good in space. But I think Richlands wins by 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Quote from KTN by Central head coach... “We ’re going to run the football. That’s just how it is when you’ve got an old offensive lineman as a head coach.We’re going to line up and run power. Our formations are going to look different, but the emphasis is still lining up and running the football and controlling the clock. You look at what Glenvar did last year. They were big and physical. They lined up in spread but they ran the ball right down your throat. They ate clock and they were hard to stop. †“People think you’re going to chuck it 50 times a game, but we’re not. We’re going to line up and run it 50 times a game. We’re going to spread people out. I’m not going to say that we’re not going to throw the football. But we can incorporate some zone-read stuff in there with our quarterback because he’s so athletic, we’re good at tailback, we have four or five offensive linemen back so we should be pretty good up front, too.†Stop their QB and you stop everything.

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I always liked Luke. I hope he succeeds......just not this Friday night! If all they do is run fifty times and throw a pass or two to try and keep people honest, they may not get fifty plays on offense. I guess that's why we play the game on turf or grass and not pencil and paper or in UVAobservers words your "E-pen....lol Of course what do I know right? I didn't think there was anyway Union would score more than thirty on our defense and we all know how ignorant I was there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,742 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Central is 3 wide with a H-back Pistol. Read option, Iso, Lead and QB Sweep were what they ran against Rv. Just enough of a passing game to keep the Defense honest, not a great passing team but don't sleep on them. QB is the main threat but the RB is solid. They are a run first team but a modern run first team.Richlands by 21+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,557 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Richlands D is made to stop the run. Outside of Union, no team has more than 50 yards rushing against us. I don't see much changing this week. Richlands will load the box and force the QB to throw and make their WRs beat us 1-on-1.

V-Cats 472 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Richlands will blow em out, but Central will do what they can to keep the score low by draining the clock when they're on offense.

Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 If Richlands plays like they did against Graham, I don't think that Central can stay with them. The Blues looked so good in every faze of the game last week. I think we'll find out if the Blues are that good, or was Graham that bad. I think it was mostly that Richlands may just be that good. The Blues are very balanced as a team and on offense. If you crowd the line to stop the run, Asbury and his receivers will burn you, but if you play back to stop the pass, the O-line and blankenship will run over and around you. Their D is very aggressive and hard hitting, and may be the best set of D backs the blues have had in a long while. The front 7 are very good and keep pressure on the QB. It's also VERY tough to run up the middle on them. Number 27 ( Wade ) is just a monster at linebacker, I love watching him play, he flat out brings the lumber ! Their biggest weakness is in the special teams on kick coverage and the kicking game in general, but they've worked hard on that after the Union game and a new tee had Barrett looking much better last week. I know this sounds like a homers view of the Blues, but it is what I have seen in the first 3 games and I think they can still get better.

mv91 259 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Haven't heard about Howie. I do know that Wades issue was just a deep thigh bruise and he should be good to go this week. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swvafan72 15 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I honestly think Richlands has some of the best players in the state on their Defense. Wade is a monster at linebacker, one of the best in the state. Holmes on the d-line always pressuring the QB, he's one of the best in the state. Then Atkinson at corner. Heard he was 5 picks away from the school record and it's only three games in. Lol. But this defense as a whole has great potential if they can all stay healthy! I think they handle Central with ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
