RedPrideNation 82 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Central is playing pretty special on D now so I doubt it’s all that close. Thing is they are a ball control team so the score won’t be way out of control unless the Bulldogs don’t make tackles. That’s with all due respect because they have some homerun hitters for sure. Just their style of play is more geared towards owning the line play and imposing their will on the opponent. IMO, Wise has a legit shot to take the region but so does Union or the consensus pick G-men. Should be a great atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 If and only if, the Bulldawgs score on every pocession then maybe, just maybe, they have a chance for the win. One Richlands fan here who is pulling for the Bulldawgs, oh my did I just say that, yes of course I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that their run defense is top of the area. Central’s pass defense isn’t the greatest I’ve seen, just from watching film. The 3 teams Central played this season with something resembling competence in the passing game all beat Central. Their run defense is dynamite, as advertised, but most of Tazewell’s rushes on the season are from Creasy on designed RPOs. Tazewell’s got a puncher’s chance here. Solid, crisp execution and no turnovers can keep the Dawgs in it with the pace that Central runs. I think it actually suits Tazewell to slow down the pace and eat clock. The fewer plays and possessions, the greater the chance at high variance. If Tazewell tries to make this a track meet, I think Central wins and by a healthy margin. But stranger things have happened.

TaterHater 89 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Of the three teams that beat Central 2 are the top 2 seeds in 3A Region D and both games were not runaways. Central's pass defense is not that shabby, they play well. The big question is how strong is Tazewell's line? Can they keep the quarterback up right long enough to throw the ball? Central can and will bring pressure. I don't see Tazewell's defense stopping the Central run game. I'm going to say Central by at least 21.

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I don't see this being a close game at all. Tazewell may complete some passes, but Central is humming along right now. There's a key to slowing down the Warriors' offense, but Tazewell will be unable to do so. Probably in the lines of 49-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Central is physical and efficient, they break the teams they face. Tazewell has some very good athletes but idk if their line can stand up to Centrals. Central physically dominated them in the Spring and returns almost everything while Tazewell lost some major talent. Warriors by 21+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that however two completely different teams. That was a run heavy team that got shutdown. This is an Air Raid offense so although probably true about final outcome, can't compare it to spring game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packattack2021 0 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Very definition of a trap game.....looking ahead? Taking the Bulldogs lightly? I'm calling close.....like way too close for comfort in Norton..... Tazewell comes in and throws it around all night, but the fighting W's pull out a 35-32 type game They better get used to being thrown on......for next week...

I trust Tazewell more to embrace what they are and do it repeatedly. At its heart, RV wants to run first and throw second. Tazewell will try to get the ball to Harris at least 15 times…20 if they are smart. Central will either man him up with Mullins or double him.

TaterHater 89 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Seems like it would be very hard to pass the ball in high school football if a team is one dimensional....🤔 the probability rate is already low for passing. Deep safety, MLB blitz and offset rover back on the LOS = bad night for the offense if you can't offset pressure with the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richlands was a loss due to the rain plain and simple. Some may say excuse but it is what it was. Didn't get to see RH game and V High was lots of inexperience overall. Games that our line was able to hold up on we could pass all over the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs52 482 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Centra may win this game, but if they allow Tazewell to hang around late into the game it could be a one and done for the Warriors. Tazewell is young, athlete’s everywhere on the field. Tazewell makes great second half adjustments and will battle till the end!

I think you might have time to throw those. Could be interesting. How are your WRs speed? Can thy shake n bake a bit? Would love to see Bulldogs the upset but it will be very hard…need to turn them over some. I think this might be the game I watch….the Ba high - Union game will be good too.

Mills and Harris can take the top off the defense if given time, but the short pass is the running game. (2) Speed is pretty good. Harris is a burner. Mills is deceptive and knows how to use his 6’4” frame. Mullins’s football IQ is pretty high and knows how to find open holes. McDonald runs so much like Harris that I occasionally confuse the two. I don’t think speed will be the issue. (3) They are shifty, some a little more than others. Looking forward to tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
