Gridiron60 2,554 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 It’s a short practice week since it’s a Thursday game. Graham still had too many penalties last night but the defense is coming together. They were plain nasty, period! Blevins at QB against the Blues showed he should be the starter in my opinion. He didn’t have a perfect night but it was a dang good night. Meadows will be a great asset on D when he’s healed. Union is Union as well coached as they come. They have play makers of their own. Can they keep their perfect winning streak in tact at Mitchell? Could be one of the best match ups this season! Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same , I really wish no SWD or M7 teams played regular season, makes for much more exciting and interesting playoff games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Travis has NOT used the T yet this year but I bet we see it come Thursday, I am sure this is a revenge game for the GMEN. They will crowd the line and Da Bears will settle for the 3 or 4 yards on each play, because we know that no ball means no Mr Bradshaw scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches need to be preaching that they have never beaten Union at home. I would also be playing that last play of the season last year over and over again.

If they go to the bathroom and shut the stall door that play should be playing when they sit on the toilet. Continous loop. If they don't have it I'm sure our friends from Union can provide it 😂 Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had about 5 or 6 touches and scored 3 td's last night. He’s talented and seems better focused and disciplined than last season. I’m pretty sure our D coaches will figure out how to adapt to the T formation to get the ball back on offensive for Bradshaw to have one or two touches. He doesn’t need much time. Open field and he’s gone even if defenders on his heels. Graham has some other playmakers that can step up if Union double or triple teams Bradshaw. Will it be easy for Graham to win? Nope! Can they beat Union? I think they can if they come in focused and ready to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union_Fan 2,154 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Union looked rusty in that 1st quarter against Burton. They may have already thought the game was won, not sure, but they completely dominated the 2nd. They have to play like they did in the 2nd quarter from the opening kickoff to the final whistle on Thursday. Burton has some athletes, and they pulled a few fast ones on us. And I'm sure those kids, as good as they looked, still fell short of what we will see for the GMen. I know it's been said, but the Bears will have to chew up clock on O, and keep Graham's playmakers in front of them on D. I would actually like to see our DBs play right on the line, and do some bumping while we blitz the crap out of the QB. Not every play, but enough to keep them guessing. I think we will do well against the run, but I'm concerned about giving too much cushion to Graham's receivers. We certainly have a few things to clean up. Hopefully, Graham has more! Will be a good game in Bluefield, I have no doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very impressed with Bradshaw, you can tell that he is just on another level, he makes it seem easy. They have other weapons, as you mentioned. The biggest difference from this year's Graham team and last year's Graham team is the defense. Early in the season is the time to score on Graham's defense, I really do feel as this group gets games under their belt, they will only get better and better. When Richlands did get a good chunk of yardage, you could see some of the more veteran players talking to the others, pointing and talking as if to tell them where they messed up. I loved to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
