CriticalNoise 182 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I seen your post in the other thread about RV not defending the pass well. I’m not sure what GC offense has to offer, but if they can toss the rock some it sounds like they may have the edge. IF, IF, they can slow down your run. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I'm honestly curious about how RV manages Adkins' workload. The offense seems one dimensonal, and if Adkins has 250+ carries plus playing defense before the regular season ends, his legs may be shot in any playoff games. He seems like he is in phenomenal shape and can take a pounding, but every person wears down. From here on out, RV has no games except Battle where he won't be counted on heavily in second half.

Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 According to the paper he ran the ball 35 times last night. I think his workload is a legitimate concern. If he’s running it 35 times in a 3 score game how many times will he run it against Abingdon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 According to stats from the paper Adkins is averaging 26 carries a game. Ezekiel Elliott led the NFL last year at 20 carries a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachT423 18 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 He only carried the ball a total of 38 times the first 2 game that's like less than 20 Carries a game. Not a bad workload per game. If RV didnt keep trying to pound him up the middle vs Central he wouldn't of needed as many carries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me No they didnt I watched every Offensive snap RV had on Hudl after the game just to go back and see. Adkins was hitting Almost all this BIG plays in the C or D Gaps. Go check his highlight Tape from the Wise Central and an you will see. They did take away A and B gaps almost all night tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he bounced it, or wound up in A gap, doesn't mean its either off tackle or A or B gap scheme. The designed C and D gap plays did not do as well. Ridgeviews line effectively blocked the zone and came off double teams very well. They got up on our backers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I coached at the HS level for the past 6 years so I know a tad bit. Its ment for the RB to be able to pick and choose the holes he wants to him to hit. Adkins was having a Field day when he choose to hit or bounce it to the C and D gaps. They also ran Power quite a bit as well. But hey what do I know lol. Yeah yall may have shit down the Toss Sweeps and Options designed to go to C/D Gaps. Warriors_XO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I think GC gets some yards and points on the ground, but ultimately wither in the 4th. Ridgeview 42 - 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher 3 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Not a GC fan but I think they may squeeze out a w... ground & pound = less touches for Adkins ...what I can tell they pretty much done to AHS ( but at the end was to big) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer 78 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I think Gate City has a chance to win IF, and ONLY IF, they can control the time of possession and win in the turnover margin. Ridgeview has one player in particular that has a hard time fielding kicks and holding onto it once he does have it. That could play a major factor in this one.

Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 What I think you may find is GC isn't going to play a shootout with RV. They will try to limit RV offensive reps by grinding out long drives and running the clock. Thus leading to a more low scoring game. Like the old saying goes, sometimes the best defense is a good offense. GC has the ability to sustain long clock grinding drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It Doesnt Matter 8 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Can somebody tell me about the #13 kid for RV.
