UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Been able to rewatch some of Ridgeviews games this year. They have a bunch of players who jump off the screen at you. This should be an incredible game. I like Union due to their speed at the LB positions, with the ability to get out and stop the RB’s coming out of the backfield and Atleast help the DB’s cover these receivers on short-intermediate routes.

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Bears are a tough out at the park, and Ridgeview has a talented team, but I'm going with the Bears in a close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 2 steps on Webb on one pass play and he didn't pull away, but Webb didn't catch him either. His feet are vastly underrated. He's got the hands of Scotty Ball, the feet of Sage Webb, and the athleticism of Austin Fuller. That kid can freaking play and I understand he's only a junior. Willing to bet he gets at least one FCS offer before all is said and done swva_havok_fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your earlier comment about the game was spot on. If they can get out to an early lead they can certainly win it. Hopefully, they can avoid some of the silly penalties I’ve seen from time to time.

I played against him I think. I think he was the bruising fullback and ran completely over top of me once at Giles in a game we won 17-14. I don't remember his name during the game, but years later I was told by a Richlands fan the kid on that team they had was Brian Beavers. He also played middle linebacker and presented to the football with great anger and rage. I guess the Richlands comparisons I made to the Beavers kid from Ridgeview had some value after all. Brian Beavers could move, he wasn't anywhere near the speed of the kid now at Ridgeview, but much bigger and absolutely NASTY physical. If he was on the 1986 Richlands team, it was the best 4-6 team in the state for their level. They lost 6 games by a total of like 26-28 points or something ridiculous like that.

That’s his uncle. I’ve heard he was hard to go against….think his dad played at Emory for a bit. Younger kid is a different type of player….more skilled and different body type.

Front 7 is stupid good, and that secondary is very smart and has heady kids, but they do lack speed overall. They will put Jenkins on Beavers with help over the top and Union is counting on their front four getting pressure. I think they do this just enough to win. They will get hit with some big passes, but I just like how Union runs it. I know Ridgeview is also very stout on defense, but as good as they are, they are NOT as stout up front on defense as Graham is. If Union can run the ball on Graham, they will run the ball on Ridgeview. The danger for Union though (and any run dominated team) is getting down 2 touchdowns. If Ridgeview comes out and goes up 14 by catching Union on some early passes or big plays, that changes everything. It creates a bit more urgency in Union's run offense and it also means Union has to be closer to perfect in it's run oriented offensive possessions, and it means 1 or 2 turnovers even after gashing Ridgeview on the ground can be to much to overcome. I think the Bears win it though. Does Union run two high safeties? If they don’t and they bracket Beavers how do they defend trips to other side? Do they replace a LB/DL for another S? Or do they put their best guy out there in single coverage? It’s in Union’s DNA to want to stop the run. Tough decisions for the DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I don’t think weather will play a factor in the game. Forecast is starting to look better for Game time.

Against Graham, they looked to play one on one with help over the top with Bradshaw, then play zone coverage on the other side of field. Graham gashed Union on the ground with the QB as Union had lots of guys dropping back in coverage, and the Graham QB often found himself one on one with (one) linebacker and when the Graham QB made him miss (as he often did) they resulted in huge gains for the G-Men. The dilemma with Graham is what Union found themselves in and that's taking a chance with only 4 in the secondary early on and Graham's first play went for a TD pass to Bradshaw as they played one on one (for some God unknown reason). They immediately came out of that defense and backed a safety over the top. Union handed Graham seven points the very second that ball was snapped. But when they dropped into coverage because Graham has FAR more than just Bradshaw as far as athletes running on pass routes, it opened up the run for Graham (and to Graham's advantage, the QB is basically a big running back/almost a fullback type with very quick feet) and he can also run over top of defenders. He's fast and tough to bring down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t go that far Ridgeview can run the ball if they need to. Plus receivers know where they are going on a wet field, and the defense has to react.

I’m just saying that would take away some of the passing aspect, and has to take some points away from RV. Maybe they score 28 instead of 35 in that situation.

My belief is how both teams play in the red zone will determine the outcome. That’s how RV beat Wise was slamming the door shut in the first half when they were in the red zone.

Red zone, turnovers and penalties will likely decide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been getting Blasted on this thread because I feel Ridgeview will win by 3 TDs...I admit I could be wrong...But I have been to every RV game the last two seasons and I can tell you this...They do what ever the defense gives them...Richlands came in and stacked the box with 7-8 men at times and RV threw all over them...I have seen teams attempt to put two high safeties and Ridgeview run the ball down their throats.. In my opinion Travis Turner has the toughest Job of the night...He has to decide how he wants RV to play..They will either run it or pass it..I keep Seeing folks say “RV is a throwing team” That is not the case..They Average over 200 yards a game Rushing and about 120 passing..Oquinn Completes a lot of short Easy open passes. I have seen Oquinn change the play and throw deep to the Beavers kid when the Defense plays him 1 on 1..If you double the Beavers kid, Koda Counts catches the ball just as good and sometimes even better than Beavers..Counts Actually has more catches than Beavers...The Running Back for Ridgeview is also a threat when he is not running power. I bet Coach Tiller is praying that Turner plays RV like he did Graham..5 in the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
