BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Just watched the first half of Tazewell and Graham and Richllands vs Union. Both games can be summed up the same. Union and Graham far to physical and a mismatch on the line of scrimmage. Forget about penalties, miscues, busted plays, long plays, athletes, etc. All played a part, but you could take those away and in both games, from tackle to tackle, just domination, and it was clearly noticeable in both games. No need to watch the second halves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played very well but some of our players did not play their best game. Now with that being said, I think GMen keep improving & tweaking. I think penalties begin to taper off. This is not meant to put Tazewell down in any way but I think they made us look better than we actually performed. Our boys are doing great but there's room to get much much better. I also think Meadows is coming along as QB & our receivers need to help him out some, lol. As always, this all just my unprofessional opinion; others can disagree.

Graham excellent at running the ball and stopping the run, Union is same exact way. Union has a better running QB while Graham has the better single running back seems like.

I wish we didn't play each other in the regular season. Kinda takes the edge off a playoff match up. Graham definitely has some improving to do, both offensively and defensively..

Unions weakness is the secondary from what a saw last night. A team with an elite passing attack could do some damage if they don’t grow up quickly.

Serious question, so you can PM me if appropriate. Where did the name come from? I listened to Mr. Viney’s interview and figured it was derogatory, but never knew the origin. I have plenty of family from Tazewell that always called a specific section by that name, but they couldn’t explain either. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to watch the second halves. Me too. Didnt take long to notice LOS domination. Difference is speed. The long plays against Richlands were outside runs which turned into 50 plus yard gains or TD's. I think Union will have a hard time doing that to Graham. The Gmen havent given up 100 yards rushing after two games combined. Graham can pass alot better than Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Tazewell found its legs, it was about what I expected: a team hoping it could score against a team knowing it would win. You saw flashes of what could hurt Graham’s defense, but it wasn’t nearly consistent enough. Graham is as advertised…to be the man, you have to beat the man. Congrats, G-Men! Might see you again at Mitchell in mid-November. A little confused (gift wrapped)????? Tazewell had a total of 114 yards of offense. They were dominated . they executed maybe two plays all game. If Graham doesn't turn the ball over, somebody will need multiple D1 offensive players to give them trouble. They played with Glass and done well. Nobody in this region has that many athletes.

Real Sasquatch 1,867 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 As for Graham vs Union, it seems these games come down to the last minute, or one team dominates and there is no in between. I expect this one to come down to the wire. If either team wins by 10 or more, I would be surprised. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say if you subtract the losses on sacks, Tazewell probably had less than 10 net yards rushing. Defense is one of our main strengths & I only see them becoming a more cohesive unit as the season progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
